Art and Craft: Nature

The downside of living in a city is that your children might not get as much nature play as they would love to have.

During my childhood years, I lived near the sea and thus, had spent quiet a considerable amount of time at the beach. We also lived in a bungalow facing a public playground for a few years and had ample time for nature play.

My hubby, on the other hand, used to play at the river's bank with his cousins and cycled around, exploring the beach with his best friends.

So, it was not a surprise to me when he decided to buy a house with enough land for our children to play.

And, well, we could also use the plants in our garden to make some art. Couldn't we?

WEEK 9: ART AND CRAFT

TOPIC: NATURE

One morning four years ago...

We collected some items from our garden for our morning lesson.

Here's what we did.

1. We collected some tree barks and leaves.

2. On a drawing paper, I sketched a house and two trees. Then we cut tree barks and leaves according to the shapes we needed.

3. We made a house, trees and a row of grass.

5. To add "life" to the picture, we added a hanger rack with some clothes on it.

We used skewers, a string and some old clothes to make it.

AND...

May I present...

Our first nature craft.

This is one of our favourite art and craft which I still have in my storage. Would love to have it framed.

What do you think?

Stress Free Mode

Now, as I typed on my laptop, my 5 year-old daughter sits in front of me, doing her own work. She is doing something on her own. Something that no one tells her to do. It is 100% at her own will. She is copying from a storybook. It is a Malay storybook she borrowed from school. And she is trying to read as she copies. She is smiling as she tries to read the words and although she still struggles with many of the words, she is smiling while she tries. Once in a while, she would ask me how to pronounce a certain syllable. And now, she is singing out the words she copies. _________________________________________________ This scene, right in front of me, is the result of an important lesson I learnt a year ago. I learnt that, for effective learning to take place, the learner should be in a "stress free mode". And for them to be in that mode, it most probably has to be something they find interesting or rather, something they w...

Mongo Plant vs Garlic Plant

A few years ago my son was into growing plants and asked if he could grow some flowers. We did not have any flower seeds at home and I suggested that he plant some mongo seeds instead. The other reason I told him to grow mongo seeds is that they grow very fast and kids are not very patient at waiting for results. So everyday, as we leave the house for school (he was attending kindergarten then) he would look at the plants and say, "Mommy! They are growing!" A few days after we planted the mongo seeds, I suggested that we plant some garlic. This time, unlike the mongo seeds that showed some growth immediately on the following day, the garlics showed none. Two days after we planted the garlics, we went on a short vacation and when we returned, he saw some changes to the garlic plant and shouted, "Mommy, look! The garlics are growing!" Two weeks after that, we found time to do some detailed observations on the plants. We compared the roots and ...

Chinese New Year Art: Chinese Plum Blossom

The Chinese Plum blossom, or the Prunus mume, is a flower that blossoms around the Chinese New Year. It symbolises prosperity, courage, hope, beauty and purity. It is a common decoration item for the celebration. It is also a common subject in the Chinese art such as paintings and poetry. This Chinese New Year, my son's art teacher at school taught them a simple yet interesting way to draw the Chinese Plum blossom. After he described to us how it was done, his sister got very interested and requested to do it. So, here's what we did. First, we squeezed some black paint on a piece of drawing paper. Diluted it with some water and using a straw, blew the black paint to create the branches and twigs. Next, we mixed red and white paint to make some pink paint and painted the flowers. It's done! Just like what my daughter said: Easy peasy lemon squeezy! Took us about 20 minutes from gathering the materials to the completion of the pai...
