Notice how children eat? I have 4 small children and I can relate to this. If I want to have a peaceful meal, I will eat on my own. If I choose to have a piece meal, I can have the 'pleasure' eating with them. Children, bundles of joy, INDEED! Noisy food from Asniem CA ...
Kids love sand. I would raced ahead to the water but my children would start gawking and be amazed.

Amateur works mainly. I love how their...

This poem allows for variety of kinaesthetic activities for children. Children love to move about and do things because they learn by doing. I find this type of activities suit most type of learners in particular the weaker learners. Weaker learners feel less intimidated as the language learning is camouflage by the movement.
