I'm on duty again tomorrow

Is fast, Is quick, my turn again on duty this Saturday for the craft session. I have prepared something simple for the kids to have fun this coming Saturday. I have cut some alphabets and some shapes out using color paper. Each kid will be given the alphabets that will make up their name. Our kids need to glue those alphabets on a black construction paper. Then they will glue on some nice shapes & is done! Have a look…


Material


Constructing their names using Alphabets


Decorating the craft by sticking some shapes onto the black construction paper.


And is Done!

I would believe this is another fun way introducing younger toddlers A,B,C…
You can only cut an alphabet but many pieces in different colors for toddlers to stick so that they can recognize the alpha while sticking it…

Side track…

Ting! Ting! Craft Time

30/3/08 (Sunday – Late late evening)

I thought I could have some rest after clearing up, no, no, no, I’m absolutely wrong!
My 2 girls started to chant again “mummy, mummy, mummy, mummy”. The only way to stop the chanting is to make them busy…So we ended up this way…

I drew a simple house, trees & train on an A4 paper. Then I cut some rectangles, triangles & circles from color paper. Xuan Xuan & Wen Wen’s job is to stick those shapes on the A4 paper in order to construct the house, trees & train. Yes, is that simple!

That’s how Wen Wen glues those shapes on the A4 paper.


Then she started to draw the trunk.


I drew the railway for her, and noticed that the wheel missing… and I started to cut some circles for the wheel and she’s now glue the wheel on…


And then noticed there aren’t any windows and doors in the house, and I cut some more…

Ops… how can I do without my birthday girl… These are the photos…


After the sticking all shapes, she drew a smiley sun & herself in the picture.


Look! How satisfy she is with her artwork!!!


I bet you will know which artwork belongs to Xuan and which belongs to Wen!



Absolutely right, the one with smiley sun & an alien girl belongs to Xuan Xuan.

Sunflower Craft

24/3/08 (Monday)

I had a terrible gastric last Friday 21/3/08. Due to that we skipped 22/3/08 playgroup! I feel so bad that because of me not being well; my 2 lovely girls have to stay at home… so this is the repay for them…

Sunflower Craft

Ingredients:

All you need is:-
1. Pumpkin seed
2. Red bean
3. Black construction paper
4. A4 Paper
5. Scissors
6. Glue

Firstly, cut a flower/leaves shape on the black construction paper as shown in the above photo.
Then, glue the black construction paper on the A4 paper (white), and you will get this:-

Now, glue the red beans in the centre of the sunflower.

Then glue those pumpkin seeds around those red beans (centre of sunflower) so that it will become the petals eventually.

You can glue a second layer of pumpkin seeds around the first layer in order to make a bigger sunflower. (else one layer of pumpkin seeds already looks great)

Same goes to the leaves, just glue those pumpkin seeds on the leaves.

Once done, color the leaves green.

You have just completed a beautiful sunflower for your mama!!! Great job!!!

My little Wen Wen has no patient to complete this craft. This craft might look simple but it takes a lot of patience in sticking those little beans & seeds on… Anyway, I’m proud that my Xuan Xuan completed this craft without much assistance but only instruction. Well Done Xuan Xuan!! I believe this will bring u a long way!!!

Now, is time to look at how this mummy pampers her little Wen Wen… *really have to give this mummy a knock!!!*

Simply Fun

My 2 bosses are in Shanghai today and tomorrow. This leaves me some time to check on my blog. It had been almost a month I didn’t update my blog… Wow! How can my time just slip off so easily without me realizing it. No! No! Cannot Be!! I must post some of my daughters’ life stories in here to capture down those beautiful memories for future reading pleasure.

28/2/08 (Thursday)

My most precious time of the day – Every evening from 8pm-10pm on all my working days!!! Why do I say so?? Because that is the time for me to be with my 2 little girls. We did a lot and we do a lot. We sing, we dance, we play, we read, we draw, we watch TV, we eat and.... this evening, we did a simple craft!!!

Thanks to my husband for eating those pistachio nuts (leftover from CNY) lead to the birth of this craft. All you need is:-

1. Pistachio’s shell
2. Glue
3. Construction paper (Black color will be the perfect choice as it will have
the best contra color with white pistachio’s shell)

Have a look at the photo below : -

I think I don’t have to elaborate further on how this craft is being done, right?
Any kids at any age can do it, is free flow creative kind of craft… you only need to glue those shell on the black construction paper, and it will end up very nice…

My 2 girls are constructing some flowers pattern…

Even a straight line looks great!

I help to elaborate a bit and … Tra-da …proudly present the final product…
