Hi, I'm Amy and I’m a British-born Chinese (BBC). After having my baby, I realised how important it was for me to pass on my heritage to him, however, I couldn’t speak any Cantonese.

Mama Bear Cantonese is my way of sharing my journey of reclaiming my culture through study and play. I hope it can help any other families like mine.

Happy Halloween! This week, we've gone pumpkin-mad! We've put up pumpkin lights, gone pumpkin-picking, and painted pumpkins. Now we're doing pumpkin colouring ✨ This week, AJ tried out three new Mid-Autumn activities and let’s just say… we were both craving mooncakes by the end! 😋 AJ requested we do the “fizzy dinosaur eggs” again today and who I am to refuse? From these two activities, AJ has practised his: It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas ❄️ There's lots of things to love about Autumn but my favourite of all is the wonderful things nature does this time of year! I love seeing the leaves change colours and wildlife prepping for the winter. 🍂🍄 Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! How have you been celebrating? I have used it as an opportunity to introduce fractions to AJ by making these adorable Mooncake fractions magnets. Who says maths has to be boring? 😁 Here are two more activities to help your little ones to learn the names of dinosaurs in Cantonese. I've made a Cantonese translation of the beautiful Pop-Up Dinosaurs book by Owen Davey and a dinosaur colouring book. Link in the bio to make your own🦕🦖 June 1st was Dinosaur Day so all month, AJ and I have been having lots of dinosaur themed fun, which we would love to share with you. Today, we're bringing you two sensory table ideas (with free dinosaur flashcards!). Link in the bio if you would like to make some dinosaur eggs and go fossil hunting like us 🦖🥚 This week is Mental Health Awareness Week in the UK. Sadly, 1 in 6 children aged 5-16 in the UK have a mental health problem. This is an issue I care about deeply so I wanted to create something to support AJ’s well-being (and of course, not miss out on an opportunity to speak more Cantonese).
