An activity was done with five-year child by the care-giver which involved paper folding and cutting.
Not only the activity resulted in enhanced attentiveness, fine-motor development and use of scissors as a low-level technology tool and its handling with pincer grasp; it also became the talking point to build some science vocabulary too.
This is an exemplar activity to motivate caregivers at home to do some paper folding activity and making a talking point for scientific-technological literacy since the child finds a lot of technological devices at home.
The talking points in this activity, as shown the video, were as follows.
· Pull, push, force
· Movement, motion
· In-and-out, to-and-fro
· Inward, outward
The purpose was to make use of hand-on experience to link with see-and-speak or look-and-name method to build some vocabulary related to science and technology which has become common in daily lives at home.
