Play & Learn

I took my cousin's young daughter, Wei Wei, to the bookstore over the weekend as I wanted to pick up some cards for my craft work. Since she goes there every weekend, I thought I would take over the responsibility from my aunt, who is her grandmother.

If you remember, this girl lost her mother a few years ago and since then, has moved in with her grandparents who live near my home.

My aunt told me that she goes to the bookstore every weekend and always asks to buy stuff that are not really useful like glitter pens, fancy paper and cards, cartoon ring binders and things like that.

So while I was there, I picked up a couple of boxes of jigsaw puzzles for her. These are fun to play with yet education. I remember how I enjoyed playing them when I was a kid but my parents were not able to afford extras like these so I only had a few boxes of puzzles that I received as Christmas gifts.

I picked up a box of Math puzzles for Wei Wei because coming from a Chinese school, I know that she would enjoy something puzzles like that, unlike myself who try to stay as far away from Math as possible!

Hopefully, these puzzle games will help cultivate her love for education games and toys where she could play and learn at the same time.
