Color Magician

On the evening of July 26, 2020, a cool summer night, the little baby wearing pink pajamas mutated into a color magician.

This was originally a routine study time before going to bed. We watched Apollo Rabbit's "Basic Course on Ultra-Light Clay" together. I started to learn how to make octopus, lollipops, vegetable babies and jewelry bracelets. It was good and easy to learn.

To be honest, this is an ordinary handicraft, nothing special.

We took a break and watched another lesson "Rainbow Bridge on the Clouds". I thought it should be similar to a lollipop. Unexpectedly, the teacher first introduced the three primary colors and demonstrated how red + yellow turns into orange. +Blue turns green. At this time, the little baby casually mixed red and blue clay together. After a while, it turned into green. She was shocked.

From then on, the little baby got out of hand and tried to mix various colors. Every time the color came out, she was so happy. I took the opportunity to call her the "Color Magician", and she became even more excited after hearing this. She was happy, and she wanted to change more colors wholeheartedly. No, an hour later, the new rainbow bridge she created came out.

Maybe you think this Rainbow Bridge is not the seven-color rainbow we usually see. Yes, no, the colors in this rainbow are very rich, and they are all made by the little kid himself!

Montessori said, "The first function activated in young children is the sensory organs." Judging from Xiaowa's practice, clay, a toy with its own "natural properties", can not only promote children's sensory development, but also strengthen children's artistic enlightenment.

The baby can concentrate on playing with clay for an hour, and the tricks are endless, which proves that it can indeed play a role in developing children's five abilities.
