講完繪本，別忘了安排上各種繪本週邊，及時複習繪本內容，加深娃對會被的理解哦。本週，小鹿依然爲大家準備了一些簡單的繪本親子游戲，一起來看看吧。
1.五隻小鴨塗色卡片
塗色是娃喜聞樂見的繪畫遊戲，即可以鍛鍊娃的精細動作，又可以加深娃對這本繪本的印象。塗好顏色後還可以把小鴨子們剪下來做繪本劇的角色哦。
2.小鴨子數數表
打印出來，讓娃學着把鴨子的具體個數和數字聯繫起來，再試着自己在格子裏貼上或畫上相應個數的圖形吧。
另外，還可以給娃播放各種童謠視頻、音頻，給娃薰聽，潤物無聲地把英語啓蒙嵌入到娃生活的方方面面。
最後，還是老規矩，轉發此文到朋友圈或母嬰羣即可，截圖發至後臺即可獲得本文所提到的繪本電子版、小鹿自制音頻、繪本童謠音頻、繪本手工材料等資源等哦。
