Featuring our next guest artist: Evan and his little 'girlfriend'......
I like the idea of exchanging gifts with good friend.... It's more meaningful...... When the gift's drawn, Especially for him to her, And for her to him...
I found this cute little drawing in Evan's bag pocket. He said it's from his 'girlfriend'!
So, I suggested that he draw something too and give it to her. With his dinner in front of him, he very excitedly drew a picture of 'Thunderman'. Full concentration.... colored it and wrote her name on it (I helped him spell it) and beside her name, he wrote his name.
He very proudly posed for me to snap this pic. After that I packed the drawing into his schoolbag. Then only did he eat his dinner! Hopefully he remembers to give it to her today in school!
Tips: Appreciating Final Product Sometimes, I need to use my imagination, To understand my little prince's art work... It'd be great, If he's able to tell me what's he's drawing...
Little Prince: Mummy, see.. It's a tiger... Mummy: Wow! Your tiger got black stripes on it's body! Brilliant!
Instead of trying to explain, How a tiger actually looks like, I actually praise him for getting the colour correct... Later on, I'll get more books and pictures of little tiger, And let him observe and explore...
I strongly believe, Though his very own observation, He'll remember more and know more, The characteristic of whatever he wanted to know...
Tips: Choice of Colour Who said the sky must be blue? Who said the leaves must be green? There's no right and wrong, In artistic world......
If adults limit the little one's choices, We're actually limiting their very own creativity...... Let them explore, And we'll amazed by their very own observation!
Mummy: What are you drawing today? Little Prince: Papaya...... Mummy: What colour do you need? Little Prince: Green... Mummy: Oh! You've got a green papaya today? Little Prince: It's still raw, cannot eat yet...
Tips: Save the environment It might be a small tiny role to play...... But, If everybody play his/her part, It will make a huge different!
Other than basic colouring tools, We love to use unwanted items, For our fun art time......
Any unwanted items at home: Boxes, Containers, Egg holder, Toilet paper roll... They might just ended up in the rubbish bin... But, Little ideas make all the unwanted items, Become new toy that's fun to play with.....
It's not only about the art time the little one enjoys, It's also about my little prince's able to play the toy, Made all by himself!!! This is some little thing he can be proud with!! He truly enjoy the art time, And also the playing time with his own custom-made toys!
We're not having an art class... My little prince will have total freedom, To choose whenever he want to have his own art time.. He have the total freedom, To choose whatever he want to do...
The main point is totally about: The precious bonding time, Between mummy and toddler...
Our art time, Is suppose to be maximum FUN! For the little one.....
This is the best Jigsaw Puzzle I've ever seen..... It contains a love of mummy to her kiddo....... The bonding time and the effect to come up with, Their own personalized self-made jigsaw puzzle!~ Presenting..... Juan Juan and her toy story puzzle!~
Yesterday right after afternoon tea, mama found Juan Juan was feverish with her body temperature 38.3 degree celsius. After having her paracetamol syrup, her body temperature reduced in the evening but rosed back to 38.6 degree celcius at night. This morning although her fever seems subsided, mama still decided not to send her to the Montessori since her body temperature is quite fluctuating. Thus mama decided to spend this quality morning by doing something she likes, which are related to CRAFT, JIGSAW PUZZLE and her favourite CG characters, WOODY and BUZZ LIGHTYEAR!
We need some paper cardboards, which mama dismantled from paper boxes, and Toy Story 3 posters that papa printed online for Juan Juan early on.
Juan Juan picked her favourite poster, then mama helped to trace its' outline on a piece of cardboard with pencils and ruler.
Then, mama cut out a frame according to the outline mama had traced, and kept the centrepiece of the cardboard.
For the base of the frame, mama traced the frame on a piece of paper cardboard and cut it out.
Juan Juan applied paper glue on the centrepiece of the frame before sticking her favourite poster on it.
Mama let her draw the tracing lines for her puzzle(right at the back of the centrepiece)................. but it seems her creativity is way beyond mama's ability, thus mama didn't apply her 'ideas' for her custom made puzzle(sorry my dear)! Reminder:It's hard to cut according to the tracing lines if its' shapes are too odd!
Juan Juan applied glue on the frame and pasted it on its base, thada~!! Juan Juan has done with her puzzle frame!
It's time to colour the puzzle frame with poster colours! Initially Juan Juan wanted the frame to be coloured in her favourite green, but mama thought it would look nicer in blue. She thought for awhile and gave in with mama's idea, later she found it's quite interesting to combine both blue and white, which turned out to be light blue, she loves it!
The puzzle frame Juan Juan coloured, mama personally thinks it's very nice! Great job Juan Juan!
After the colours on the puzzle frame dried, mama trimmed the Toy Story characters from the other poster, while Juan Juan helped to paste it on the puzzle frame.
Here we present Little Sprout's 1st customised jigsaw puzzle!
Juan Juan enjoyed solving her new set of jigsaw puzzle!
Juan Juan pointing and showing mama the Toy Story characters names, she can name all of it correctly without fail!
