More practice

After completing the glass painting, Abigail keep asking for more art and craft so I let her do it on the paper. I guided her with four flowers and let her do what she likes on the paper. I can see she's trying to print a flower shape but I guess she did not know how to make the flower shape yet. She ended up keep printing the dot next to each other.


Instead of doing a flower shape, she did a line of dots...

the final product - the nice flowers are with guidance, those dot dot without shapes were Abigail's creativity :P I then hold her finger to draw stems and leaves...

Glass Painting for Toddler

I was thinking what to do for my mom as Mother's Day gift for this year. She's a very practical lady and do not like her children to waste money buying gift that she might not need... so, doing craft is a way to express ourselves.

I thought of having Abigail to do it with me. On one hand, I can get her involve and on the other hand, I also want her to pick up the value of doing something using our hand for another person to show our love.

When I told her we're going to do craft, she will shout out with joy. She just love doing art and craft. :) I get ready all the material on the table and she's jumping on the floor showing her excitement.

Then I get her seated on my lap and brief her what we were going to do. I hold her finger, dip into the colour and then print it on the glass to make a shape of a flower. These steps repeated until there are many flowers on the glass. Abigail enjoyed doing it. She wanted to do it on her own but she did not know how to make it a flower shape yet. She can just dip her finger into the colour and print it on the glass, then she need guidance to print a flower shape on the glass.
