Storytelling at CCF@NUH
One of our latest enrichment activities at CCF@NUH is to
incorporate play into storytelling to entice children to read
story books. On 16 February 2017, a group of CCF Play
Personnel read the popular and engaging story - “The
VeryHungryCaterpillar” to our children.
Tomake the storymore interesting, each child was given
a few tubs of playdough and some toy foods. As the story
progressed, the children used the playdough to form
their own caterpillar and butterfly. The younger children
learnt to identify food using the toy foods, while the older
kids used their creativity and the playdough to knead
their “food”.
The volunteers also prepared real fruits for children to
feel the texture and smell them. The older children were
so enticed by the story that they listened to it repeatedly.
After the session, somewere even able to recite the story
on their own!

Our children at CCF@
NUHenjoyparticipating in
avarietyof artsandcrafts
activities. On 14 March
2017, we introduced clay
and pottery making to
them at the playroom.
Playdough allows the
children to practise
their fine motor skills
and provides a great
opportunity for the children to get creative and have fun.
The childrenwere tasked tomake a clay bowl.
They kneaded, pinched and moulded the clay into a
bowl shape, under the patient guidance of the instructor,
before finishing off with a fish design on their bowls.
After 1.5 hours of focused attention and hard work, the
children completed their art work and brought home
their masterpiece.
