Crazy finger puppets

I am always looking for new things to entertain and keep Nyla's busy during the weekend.

I bought that lamaze wrist and sensory sock, you know the black and white socks with attached butterfly and bug. Luq love that.

So last weekend we made finger puppets. It kept Ny occupied and mummy is happy helping her paste all the colourful stuffs on the felt. Doing craft is very therapeutic for me.

Things you need:-

1. Colourful felt cut into shapes.
2. Scissors
3. Craft glues
4. mini pom pom
5. Wiggly eyes
6. Pipe cleaners
7. Colourful ribbons

And once they'e done, they become the perfect companion to singing, playing and story telling.

Ny's first school project - Farm Animals

When Ny received a note from her teacher on parental involvement project, I was totally on to do a good job. First time mah. Semangat habis.

I googled and found this on Pinterest. 

Perfect!!!

 Crafts by Amanda

We did our version, purchase tube cleaners from spotlight for $3.80 per pack (it was on 50% discount), bought some paint brushes, because Crayola paint brushes are for babies. Since Ny have a really short attention span, we stretch and did the project within 3 weeks.

We sang Nyla Syakila has a farm... Eeeya eeeya oohhhhhhh while painting the tissue rolls.

Weekend Home School 4 / 52

 

Since starting school, Ny often brought back home her worksheets.  Member colour betol punya hancai. Not that I'm expecting Picasso kind of works, but being the kiasu mum I can't help but get worried.

I try to have a one on one session with Ny at least 1 hour every weekend.

Be it academically, or craft works or playing tea or masak masak. Just sitting with her and doing things together with her.

Kalau tak asyik terbaring, tengok HI5, tengok cartoon, 'berkemas' bilik, 'berkemas' dapur.

So I came up with an hour of interation with her.

Saturday, she was under the weather but once I bathe her and feed her and makan ubat her temperature drop and shes back to her normal self tak boleh duduk diam.

Aiyo nak get her attention for 15 mins pun susah. I print lots of worksheets from here get it here and google some bubble guppies printing worksheet.

I forward the pic to Nezah and she went on to lecture me for being too hard on her. So she suggest the following.

To paste paper on the wall and let her be the pilot. Do what ever she wants to do, painting, drawing, colouring. She need to have strong arm control before she can have good wrist control that is coloring on worksheet, like the above.

On Sunday, I took the expert in early childhood advice and did just that. Not only did she have fun, she did her 'homework' for half a day. Makan, draw, watch Hi5 skejab den back to her workstation, Tido skejab then bagun back to menconteng. Wah so good!!!!

After all the hardwork, mummy and Ny did some yoga.

I treasure my weekend!!!

Have a greet week people. Cant wait for the long holiday.....

The weekend

I had a wonderful weekend.

Work have been a bitch lately all because of the upcoming AGM. I remember 2 years ago, I was so stress at work sampai terbranak I....

So this time,  I try to delegate more and remind myself that I am not a super hero. I also do less of Ny and Lu order on weekend. I squeeze all my order on weekdays, even if I have to sleep at 3am almost evey day just to finish an order. 

Weekend is solely for my little mak nenek.

S was on shift so it was just mummy and Ny and nenek and atok and aunty chu and aunty ani....

So this is what we did on weekend. Loving it!!!!

Friday night we eat out. Saturday morning Eeordered Mcd and breakfast at the balcony. When it was awfully quiet, I check on her and found her sleeping at the little corner. I taught her to wear her own Tshirt. That one belum pass yet.

And few other pics from my iPhone.

Have a great Monday!

Rainbow

I grew up with colours and paints, and colleen and luna colour pencils and poster colours. My dad often carved design with potatoes and apples and we will use laddy fingers and onions for that additional texturers.

My dad will also teach us how to do silk screen on T-shirt. I would wear a t-shirt with print like 'Anak Mail No. 1' and my second sis would wear 'Anak Mail No. 2'. Like seriously... we were happy to choose what colours we want for the print... I would never do that to Ny... I promise you baby...

My sisters and I, we had a hell lots of fun during our childhood. So I intend to do the same with my little one. Baby, may you have a colourful childhood just like mummy. Love you to the moon and back.
