Hello dear friends, it is a pleasure to share with you my experiences teaching my son from home, he is 2 years old but has been characterized by being curious and observant, he wants to learn everything and loves to play like any other child.

In a fun way I wanted to do an activity that makes him work his memory, also his motor skills so that his movements and those of his brain work together and develop well. I have learned since my son was born that educating them through games and activities that they like is much better than using screens and also that stimulating them in this way does not hurt them but rather helps them to regulate their emotions, their movements and I also feel that they begin to act more independent and make decisions even though they are young.

The power of education at home is often underestimated, but it turns out that this education is what will mark the rest of a child's life. By this I do not mean that those who do not do these things, these activities with their children are bad parents or that their children will not develop well, I mean is that every child is different and every thing you do as a parent are a teaching for him or her, as we spend more time with them and teach them we will see closely how they grow and the wonderful adults they are becoming.

This time I made a game for my son with recycling material, he knows the shapes but this game will help him to develop logic to handle frustration because he doesn't like to make mistakes and also to concentrate. I really enjoyed making this game, although I must admit that among all the shapes the star was quite difficult for me, I had to ask for help, the stars that I made seemed to have a fainting spell. But in the end we made it, my husband came to the rescue.

Materials:

• Toilet paper rolls
• Glue
• Cardboard sheet
• Scissors
• Brightly colored paper
• Popsicle sticks
• Thick transparent plastic tape

Procedure:

• We cut the cardboard to the desired size and shape.
• Glue the toilet paper rolls with white glue, placing them side by side according to the desired distance.
• Cut out the shapes by color of brightly colored paper, in my case I chose 5 shapes, you can choose the amount you want. At the end we have 20 shapes.
• We take one of each of the shapes we cut out, a total of 5 shapes, and we glue it on the side, this is the one that will guide the child where he/she has to place the pallets with the different shapes.
• To give strength to the figures that will be glued to the paddles, we use one or two rolls of paper and glue the figures on the cardboard and wait for it to dry.
• To take care of the material with which the figures were made, we put the plastic tape to protect it from water.
• We glue the shapes we cut on the pallets, in total there are 3 pallets per shape, there would be 15 in total. And we wait for them to dry.
• Open three holes the size of the popsicles in each roll of paper and that's it.

When my son saw the game for the first time he was excited, when I explained to him what to do and showed it to him he did it too. He played with his new game until tiredness told him he needed to sleep.

Sometimes to entertain and learn they don't need big things, with patience and good disposition parents, that is to say each one of us can help our children to build their dreams and ours will be fulfilled along with theirs.

Thank you for reading me, I will be attentive to your comments.
