Alphabet Book : c

The alphabet book page for the letter "c" was a Carrot. I just draw a carrot with some leaves on top of the carrot and the kids coloured it.

Issac used colour pencils and Annabelle used both crayon and pastels for her art.

Mummy run out of ideas for this week, thus here is our “work” for the day…

c is for chameleon

Well this is a nice one! Mummy never think of this word during we do the arts. It is really fun!

What You’ll Need:

• Two different colours of green craft foam
• pink craft foam
• googly eye
• scotch tape
• scissors {fine-tipped work great!}

How to Make the ‘c’ for chameleon:

1. Cut out a lowercase ‘c’ from a piece of a green foam sheet. To make the letters go along with the uppercase letters we’ve done in the past, this letter was cut from a piece of foam that was about 2” x 4” ~ small, but oh so cute!
2. Using the lighter green foam sheet, cut out a head, four legs/feet, and a tail. If you have smaller, more detailed scissors, now would be a great time to use them {and not have your toddler use them ~ grins}.
3. Cut out a long thin tongue to stick out of your chameleon’s mouth.
4. Use tape on the back side of the ‘c’ to stick on the chameleon’s head, tail, feet and tongue. Tape works better than glue on this craft because the pieces do not overlap as much, but rather fit right next to each other.

Mummy did some modification here as everything was did in the green, yellow and pink construction papers. For all the uppercase and lowercase letters Mummy was cut out from the pre-photocopy alphabet which Mummy enlarge it from the original size. It is easier for me to prepare the materials in this way.

Chinese New Year Costume Day 11 Feb 2011

Bye2 Kuching 5 Feb 2011

Even though was the 3rd day of Chinese New Year, we flied back to Kuala Lumpur. Both Issac and Annabelle were so heavy hearted during at the airport.

In the airport, both of them were so excited of the spacious hall, thus both were running up and down, chasing each other.

During boarding to the plane, both were so tired immediately slept on airplane till we reached Kuala Lumpur.

Till we meet again, Kuching…

Alphabet Book : C

We talked about letter ‘C’ this week, and as for Alphabet Book today, is a caterpillar. And, most of the online educators are using caterpillar as the subject of learning by all kind and method of art or learning experiences with the kids, such as soft toys, cloths, science explorations, etc. We just did a simple one, involving shapes and colours.

Materials Needed:

• Green and yellow construction paper
• Scissors
• Glue
• Colour Pencils

To Make:

1. Draw out a leave shape and have your child colour it out.
2. Draw out a 'stem' for your child and let them colour it.
3. I cut out all the circles from the green and yellow construction paper. Glue the green and yellow circle pieces for caterpillars ~ try to make patterns with the colours!
4. Add little eyes and antennae with a marker if you'd like.

Mummy cut out all the pieces ahead of time since we have a short amount of time and a lot to do ~ otherwise I would recommend letting the kids cut out their own pieces as much as possible!}

Well, both Issac and Annabelle had drawn the eyes and ‘the mouth’ so big made their caterpillars look like smiling…Oh God…

Her Smile… 10 Feb 2011

Her smile makes me smile.

Her laugh is infectious.

Her heart is pure and true.

Above all I love that she is my daughter.

Chinese New Year 2nd Day 4 Feb 2011

Second day of Chinese New Year normally Sister Agatha and Brother-in-law Pin would be coming back home as it is the traditions that married daughters visited their birth parents, relatives and close friends.

On this day, Sister Agatha and Brother Pin appointed the lion dance to the house to make the day more merrier.

Both Issac and Annabelle love to see the Lion Dance but Annabelle would be a little bit scared due to the loud noise made by the drums.

After we watched the lion dance, Sister Agatha and Brother Pin stayed at home to wait for their friends and colleagues come to the house.

While we adjourned to Brother Ambrose’s house together with Brother Andrew’s family and Papa and Mama to pay his family for a visit, as he had organized an open house too.

The food served were delicious. There were various type of cookies and cakes, especially Sarawak kuih lapis.

There were sateys, mix vegetables, spaghetti, curry chicken, and kacang mah too.

Our family were the among first few to arrive his house. After which, there were more and more friends and relatives came, then we went back home.

This is how we spent our 2nd day of Chinese New Year.
