Alphabet Book : g

Mummy really sometimes run out of ideas for the letter, and mummy will browse through the internet and searching for some fun making art projects for kids. And, and next will be ‘g’ for ginger bread man.

You'll Need:

• Drawing paper
• Oil pastels / Colour papers
• Pencil
• Ribbons for the ginger bread man

To Make:

1. Draw out the ginger bread man on the drawing paper.
2. Have kids just colour it using the oil pastels only. Because we had our few lessons earlier using the water colours, so Mummy thinking of just change our colour media. Started with the ginger bread man itself and then the background of the drawing paper.

Oil pastels for such a big piece of drawing paper probably works for Issac but somehow it doesn’t work for Annabelle. Issac is ‘big’ enough to handle the oil pastels very well, but for Annabelle, it is too boring for her just to colour it. The outcome really not a ‘good artwork’.

1. Thus, Mummy just cut out the ginger bread man using a few pieces of the colour papers, and ask her to glue it on the drawing paper. Then, she is only getting interested in what she is doing.
2. As for the scarf for the ginger bread man, Mummy just took out the linen on the small decorative basket which i got it on the other day when i visited the bank, fold it and use the double sided tape to tape in around the neck area. And finally done.

From this lessons, even thought we are learning the same subject but a method for a younger child might not a good one or suitable for your another toddler.

Any how, both kids finally have fun with their two own version of ginger bread man for today.
