Colours !

Yippee ! The $2.50 for clothes pegs was worth every cent ! While I was busy in the kitchen again, I told Megan to go play on her own. When I stepped out, I saw that she was 'playing' with her colour pegs and the plastic bowls. She realised I have added more bowls to her utensil rack.

Megan seemed to be trying to match the colours of the pegs to the bowls. She had pegged 2 blue clothes peg onto the blue bowl (with 1 mismatch red peg) and pegged one of each colour onto the bowls (except yellow). I was really amazed and quickly look for another yellow bowl in the kitchen after I realised that the yellow pegs were untouched (probably cos she cannot find a 'matching' bowl?) .

Back to the kitchen and yeeks, no yellow bowl but thank goodness there was a yellow cup. So I gave her the cup and asked her where are the pegs of the same colour. She showed me one peg to check with me and I said: " 对了! 这是黄色 ! " (That's right, its yellow)

She gave me a big smile :)

So Megan matched all of the pegs (I did have to help by assuring her the "reddish-orange" bowl is the same colour-tone as her bright crimson pegs) . I prompted her to do some 'tonging' and wanted to see if she could really do colour matching. All the pompoms went into the correct bowls but she was really concerned that the bowl couldn't take all of the big green ones.

We have five pingpong balls and she asked me where they should go. I assume she asked cos she realised they are white and there are no white bowls on the table. I told her she could put them in any bowl she likes, and she chose the blue one. Megan HAD to make sure all five are laid out side by side in the bowl - then she said "Hey, 圆圈 !" (Hey, its a circle)

Then, she went to her playhouse and showed me more yellow pompoms! She had hidden some in her teaparty sugar bowl! LOL ! She tried to stuff all of it into her yellow cup and I had to tell her its ok, they will fit.

Maybe Megan is worried about her privacy, she absolutely hates it when I try to take pictures of her activities (so I usually have to be really quick, or sneak behind her to shoot. Its amazing what she does at home when I am "busy in the kitchen".
