    The children had a great time playing. They made pilot hats and uniforms and had them "fly" to different countries to collect entry stamps.

    We also discussed ice hockey in Canada, fans in China, milk in the Netherlands, and body decals in India. Each item has sparked discussions about the unique traditions and cultures of these countries.

    Our highlight of the week was the National Expo, where our children visited our 'country' and participated in various handicraft, art, sports, and creative activities.

    As the adventure unfolded, the children demonstrated impressive creativity and understanding, expressing their ideas through themed activities. The riddle guessing game has turned the classroom into an active performance stage full of laughter and enthusiasm. This brave performance not only highlights the personal growth of the children, but also reflects the supportive environment that cultivates this confidence. Through mutual encouragement, they laid a solid foundation for social learning, which is crucial for children of this age group.

    In this dynamic learning experience, educators played an indispensable role as guides and observers. We guide children's exploration through carefully designed questions, prompting them to engage in deeper thinking, such as "Why do you think the gingerbread man ran away?" and "How might the fox feel at the end of the story?" These insightful questions encourage children to engage in critical analysis and reflection, which is crucial for the growth of young learners.

    In a vibrant and caring classroom environment, two year old children were inspired by the beloved story of "Gingerbread Man" and engaged in enjoyable explorations. This classic story not only sparked their imagination, but also provided them with a rich opportunity to develop key skills through exploration, creativity, and collaborative games.

    When cultivating the exploratory spirit of two-year-old children, attention to detail and patience are needed, but the classroom atmosphere is already prepared to promote positive questioning. As they delve deeper into the animal characters in the story, the children ask each other questions such as "What does the cow say?" and "Why does the fox eat gingerbread man?" These questions are not random guesses, but reflect a deeper connection between the children and the story, enhancing their understanding and sparking curiosity about motivation and consequences.

    The climax of their collaboration and creation was demonstrated in a captivating performance, where the children showcased their riddle guessing skills and showcased their self-made characters. This event not only celebrated their achievements, but also highlighted a shared sense of pride and accomplishment.

    This collective journey showcases the profound impact of the story on shaping young thinking, cultivating key life skills such as exploration, teamwork, and creativity. In the end, their adventure proved the rich power of storytelling and artistic games in early childhood education, preparing them for future learning while also making them cherish the stories of their childhood.
