My entry to MakeMeSmile week #5 - “facelifting” a toy as learning

This is my entry to the week5 MakeMeSmile lucky draw.

My boy and I were having some playtime, probably some 10 minutes and certainly not more than that, before bed time yesternight, he asked for some scissors and recycled paper for some quick fun about “facelifting” his ride-on taxi.

Why it makes me happy?

1. His observation into daily things happening around him works, he noticed that his ride-on taxi was in need of front and back signs telling how many passengers can get aboard. The Hong Kong Taxi signs are exactly those shown in the below pictures

2. He noticed that two signs of his own has to come in two sizes; the front smaller but the other bigger.

3. He convinced me of his idea by explaining there isn’t enough room for a big front sign.

4. He wrote “1 seater” on each sign and then I asked how I can get in? He said he would offer me some piggyback rides on the roof and even told me to take turns and work on shifts driving the taxi. What a sense of humour.

5. Learning can be done anytime and anywhere, even in just a matter of some five to six minutes. Only if we adults can spend some time with kids interacting and discussing.
