Finger Print Blossom Flower

Since I started a few art and craft with her, Abigail is asking me for art and craft session everyday. That day I was busy with some house hold chores, so I just draw the branches and ask her to use her finger print to do the blossom flower at the end of the branches. She did it happily. Actually I also let Joshua do one on his baby chair... he's using yellow colour. But when I turn back, havoc! havoc!! He is not printing on the paper! He's doing it every where... the whole baby chair is yellow! I've to carry him out wash him and clean the baby chair! Joshua is not ready for any art and craft yet. He's 21 months... but no! Not yet for anything... just colouring or I should say scribbling first.

It will look better if the branches are thicker.

The next time I do it, I'll follow Si Theng's one... nice!

3 Senses

Lesson 4 is teaching the three senses. Smell, Taste and Hear.

Yellow colour for smell.

Get the child to circle all those items that we can smell.

Red colour for taste.

Get the child to circle all those items that we can taste.

Blue colour for hear.

Get the child to circle all those items that we can hear.



Cutting Skill

Lesson 3 is about matching the right clothing at the right part of the body. Abigail manage to match all of them correctly. Just those lines looks very messy. I wonder I should teach her to use ruler to draw lines! :Þ Let me find out this from her kindy teacher. 

Match the correct clothing at the right part of body.

She also wrote her name.

Then I prepare some sample of clothing to teach her how to use scissor and cut straight line.

I first hold her hand to cut then let her cut on her own.

My girl got a very "chin chat" attitude :( dont care... as long as the whole thing is cut out.

I hope this is just temporal... must help her to break this bad habit.

after cutting out.

then get her to paste on the paper - she done it all by herself (pasting part).

Fridge Magnet

I got this idea from Merryn's blog http://www.crafty-crafted.com/fridge-magnets/animated-characters-fridge-magnetnote-holder/.

This is a very simple and nice craft.

Steps:
Child choose a sticker and paste on a hard card.
Then cut it out and paste it on a peg.
At the back of the peg, paste a magnet on it.
That's it! :)

Pasting Craft for Toddler

Abigail was down with viral infection. During the days she was at home, she done this craft.

Materials
1. Creep paper (few colours)
2. Paper

Steps
I drew a flower on a white paper.
Prepare the creep paper by cutting into smaller pieces and roll it.
Then get Abigail to paste the creep paper on the flower.
I first start with yellow colour with her after completed, red one, then green one. She put glue and do the pasting all by herself.
After completed the craft and let it dry up. Then I paste it into a bigger paper.
I let her choose some sticker to decorate the card.
Lastly, I hold her hand to write those wording.

This craft is very simple and it's suitable for toddler to do. Abigail was 3.5 years old when she did this and she can do it all by herself. In fact the rolling part, she can participate too. If you have the time, can get the child to roll the paper and do the pasting all by the child. I believe the child can handle and perhaps they will enjoy doing it. :)
