This month I managed to do some crafts with my daughter during our free time. The first craft we did is called Family Flower. I got the idea from Playhouse Disney's website. I thought it would be a good idea to this craft because it encourages a happy family concept and also involves a little bit of papa.
| This is the part Elizabeth enjoyed the most. Painting her hand and ours and then stamping her hand on the pink paper. |
| Draw 2 leaf shapes and 1 heart shape. |
| Paint the heart red of course. |
| Then paint the leaves green. |
| You can use two straws for the stick for me I used the Malaysian flag's stick. You know those kind you can get from shops with sweets in the stick. |
| Elizabeth pasting her hand stamp on the stick. |
| Then followed by our hands onto the stick too. |
| Papa's hand, mummy's hand and Elizabeth's hand all pasted on the stick already. I used double sided tape by the way. |
| Paste the leaves on top of the three hands just right below the smallest hand. |
| The heart will be right smack in the middle of the two leaves. |
| Decorate the leaves with glitter glue. |
| Elizabeth used many colours of the glitter glue. |
| Looks like someone woke up from slumber and even finished his milk already. Ready to come and create havoc. |
| Ta da! The finished product and very simple to do too! And I shrieked after I saw what Joseph was doing - putting the glitter glue in his mouth! |
This second craft is similar to those fairy fridge magnets that I've done before from previous post. This time it's fairy name plate but I didn't take the step by step shots. But here are still some pictures for your viewing.
| Elizabeth painting on the name plate. The plaster and the mould was given in the box. |
| String was also in the box so that we can hang the name plate. |
| There can you see the fairy? And opps Elizabeth poured too much glitter on it already. |
| Uh oh. Somebody woke up from his slumber again and started to grab the brush and mould. |
| Embracing art? |
Wow, I can see that Elizabeth really enjoys arts and crafts. The happy family hand print flowers are a great idea! and thanks for showcasing the nameplate. It turned out really nice! Really looks like the one on the box. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah she does enjoy. Thank you so much for the nameplate. It was a nice Christmas gift.
ReplyDeleteYikes! I'm shrieking too when I see Joshua with the glitter glue in his mouth! Reminded me of the time I first let Ben tried scribbling with color pens and highlighter. Found him with his mouth yellow color... apparently he thought he'd give it a try and munch on the highlighter :P whooppssss...
ReplyDeleteBut anyway, it's really nice to see children doing crafts. I'm going to give it a try one of this day and let Ben experiment with water color. :)
Jenny: LOL. every mummy will have the same reaction huh? They always give us heart attack. And it's Joseph not Joshua..:)
ReplyDeleteYou must try doing arts and crafts with Ben. You'll be surprised he'll beg for more!
Hahahaha...same here! My eyes were WIDE open when I saw Joseph. Then, I saw your comment. I think creativity time always keeps family ties stronger. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I do agree, Tracy. You should try it next time when Tricia is older ok? I'm sure both of you will enjoy it.
