Einstein In The Making

Mummy felt that fables and fairy tales are like traditions passed down and forms part of a child's childhood hence by my little ways, I started introducing these famous stories one at a time. Recently, I bought a chinese book with 2 titles that came with a VCD at $3.50 only. On the front cover, it read 'the crow that drank water'. On the back cover, it read 'turtle and rabbit race'. After reading and playing the VCD numerous times to Rynae, I pondered if she really understands why the water level rises after stones are added, in the story of 'the crow that drank water'. Children at this age has zero concept of Science and the last thing I want is for her to memorise the effect. I'd rather she understands it, thereby remembering it. Quick-witted, I dug into my cupboard for an empty mineral water and took out some glass marbles to be used as 'stones', for her to physically try out. Right before her eyes, she saw the water level rises. I also reinforced the story by well... acting like the thristy crow and constantly making references to the story. Tough job!
