Playing by Doing,Learning by Playing—Research on the Problem and Countermeasure of Self-made Toy in Kindergarten
Toys are important materials in the process of young children's development.Among them,self-made toys are the indispensable part of current early childhood education.In the Guidelines for Kindergarten Education(Trial),it is proposed to guide young children to make toys or handicrafts with the help of surrounding waste objects for decorating life and participating in activities.Self-made toys have the characteristics of low cost and high quality,which have important education value for young children.During the process of making toys,young children need to give full play to their imagination and creativity.This crea-tive process can stimulate young children's creative think-ing,cultivate their hands-on operation ability and hand-eye coordination ability,and help them learn to think inde-pendently and improve their problem-solving ability.This paper studies the problems existing in self-made toys in kindergartens,pointing out that the current self-made toys in kindergartens do not consider the actual needs of young children,and the teachers'ability is insufficient;teachers occupy the dominant position,and young children's partici-pation needs to be improved;self-made toys lack innovation and simply imitate existing achievements.These problems limit the development of young children in self-made toys.In view of these problems,specific solutions are proposed to provide reference for kindergarten educators.
