Chinese Poem with craft

I am amazed to see how quickly Evan learn to memorize and recite the Chinese poems. Besides reciting the poem, I let him do some craft associate with the poem. This week, we are learning a poem about bee.






【蜂】 作者:罗隐

  不论平地与山尖,无限风光尽被占。采得百花成蜜后,为谁辛苦为谁甜?

  提示:

  不论在平地或是山顶,都有蜜蜂在辛勤劳动,美好的风光几乎都有它的踪迹。采得花粉酿成蜜却属于他人,为谁辛苦为谁甜啊?




It is a easy craft. First, I let him draw and color few flowers. Then, he cut and paste them on a black paper. This is a collage technique.


Then, I poured some tempera yellow paint and asked him to do finger painting for the bee body.. This is a fun way to let small kid to experience the finger painting. I used some small brush to make the line on the bee body.


He used the white crayon to draw the wings on the bees.
