ART AND CRAFT: STICKERS

Mummy, can you buy me some stickers?

My daughter loves stickers very much.  Sometimes, she gets them from her teachers at school as rewards. Other times, she receives from friends.

She was already in love with stickers way before she started school. During her brother's project time at home, she would "attack" the stickers from our art and craft storage. There was a period of time when she would put stickers on things she wanted to claim ownership to. So, we would find stickers almost everywhere, including pillows, toys, furniture and even on parts of our bodies.

ON THE OTHER HAND,

I love stickers for another reason.

They can be great art and craft items and they are mess free!

If your child is not great at drawing yet, use stickers to help create an awesome picture even with very minimal drawing skills.

So let's do some art with stickers this week.


Week 5: ART AND CRAFT

Topic: STICKERS


PROJECT A

If you have picture stickers, you could do something like in the picture below.

This combines stickers with some creativity/imagination.

Minimal drawing skills needed.


Medieval Times



PROJECT B

Using labelling stickers, you can make any picture you could imagine.

You could use some other materials such as threads and colour papers to make the picture look more outstanding.

No drawing skill is needed.

PROJECT C

A simple project using only labelling stickers. 

This was a guided activity where I drew dots on the places where the stickers were supposed to be placed. 

No drawing skill is needed.

Suitable for young toddlers. 


Simple yet fun and rewarding
for a young toddler to be able to put the stickers accordingly and the end results of his own work.

What a Treat! What a Cheat!

When it comes to food , how often do you cheat ? Do you plan to follow a certain diet but end up having more cheat days than you intend to? or Do you intend to eat home cooked food for the entire week but end up eating out almost everyday? You are not alone!!👊 We are partners in crime! Look at the picture below. It's a plate of lunch for my children. Prawn paste fried chicken, stir fry mustard leaves and white rice. Served on a plate from our kitchen. The only thing I cook is the rice. 😜 I bought the chicken and vegetables from an economy rice shop.  They are my children's top picks. It is a shop that sells a wide variety of dishes (about 50-60), mostly Chinese. The food are pre cooked and displayed on large serving trays. It is self service and faster than the fast food restaurant. When my children saw the food served to them, they had a debate on whether it was takeaway or home cooked . 😃 My 8 year old boy said: Mummy bought from Bar Wang Fan (the na...

Traveling with Kids: Tioman Island

Traveling with children can be quite challenging. They need activities to keep them busy. From my experiences with my children, they don't really like to eat or shop. They want fun play and they want to explore. So, once in a while, we take them out for little adventures. Last June, we decided to take them to an island. WEEK 12: FUN PLAY TOPIC: A TRIP TO AN ISLAND It was a 3 nights 4 days trip. We stayed at Berjaya Tioman Resorts DAY 1 Lunch: I love burgers so it was a pretty good start for me.  Despite a pretty good lunch, our journey was delayed by about an hour. There were only two ferry trips to the island from Mersing, Johor. We chose the 3pm one instead of the 7am one because we didn't want to wake up at dawn and drive all the way to Mersing. When we reached the island, it was already dinner time. With kids along, we just had a short walk around the resort and went to bed early. DAY 2 We decided to go island hopping and snorkelli...
