DRAW....

One of Ace's favourite past time now is to bring the macna doodle board to me or any adult nearby and ask them to "Draaaaaaaaaaw.........."

And so, at this juncture, alot of adults will admit that they actually have very bad drawing skills. Hahaha.... and then we will entertain ourselves by asking the respective adults draw some things that Ace can recognize and if he recognizes it, it means the drawing is not to bad and the drawings pass.

Our favourite person to test this on is Ah Yee.. muahaha.. she was so happy when Ace recognized the fan that she drew.

I personally found this a very good way to help Ace learn new words. It seems that even if Ace cannot pronounce the word (he can only say single syllabus words with an exception to the word 'flower'), he still recognizes the drawings.

Using this method, Ace's vocabulary list has expanded... so now includes:
  1. Sun
  2. Cloud
  3. Moon
  4. Star
  5. Square
  6. Flower
  7. House
  8. Tree
  9. Car
  10. Bed
  11. Chair
  12. Shoes
  13. Socks
  14. Shirt
  15. Pants
  16. Shorts
  17. Fan
  18. Soup
  19. Banana
  20. Apple
  21. Ace (he says tat when you draw a boy or write the word 'Ace'
  22. Cake
  23. Help
  24. Hand
  25. Eyes
  26. Nose
  27. Mouth
And after he is done, he will erase and happily tell you "No more!" and then laugh.

Sometimes though, he will do a 'colouring stunt' and 'colour' the whole board black with his scribblings. I think for just $5.90, the board is really a good investment and a cheap thrill1 ;)

Just one complaint. He always steps on them and has spoilt like 2 of them already. This is his third one..

Yeye decided then to buy white board with white board marker for him to draw cos he says "this one wouldn't spoil no matter how he jumps on it..."
