About problem solving: The siblings in the story faced a problem. We can ask our child: What was the problem? Who was able to solve it? Let’s share a problem we faced with each other and how we managed to solve it.

About sense of capability and promoting responsibility: We allow our child to choose a task in the house that they are responsible for implementing, and we can encourage them to do so.

About our child’s qualities: We can print our child’s hand on a paper, and write inside each finger our child’s qualities, characteristics, and strengths, then hang it on the refrigerator to give them a feeling of confidence and pride in their abilities

Let’s enrich our language...

We can examine the different drawings in the story: We can describe the drawings underground and above-ground and distinguish the similarities and differences between them. We can use terms like: wide, narrow, bright, dark, and others.

Puppet: We can use old socks to make a puppet in the shape of Maurice the Mole. We can attach a nose and eyes to it, and dress it with a cloth hat. We can make whatever puppets we want for different animals.

Joint drawing:
We can draw a vertical or horizontal line on a paper and complete it each time in a different way. We can take turns with our child, to get a drawing, and we can colour the spaces in it together.

We can have a meditation session and communication with nature. We can visit a nearby forest or garden and sit quietly and peacefully. We can also observe the different animals around us, smell the scents, and feel the wind blowing on our body.

Let's research...

We can search for animals that build their burrows underground, like the mole and others, and gather information about their characteristics and food. We can also watch a video about them on YouTube.
