We’ve been doing a lot of craft with just construction paper, scraps, scissors and glue.

These are today’s random pieces. We did several collages since Sophie likes to play with glue.

Yesterday, we made a sheep using unused cotton wool that I bought when Sophie was born coz during the bath demo, the nurses showed us how to use 4 cotton wools to clean the baby. Who uses 4 cotton wools to wipe the baby’s eyes and face?!?! Where got time?!? Anyway we still have a lot of unused cotton wool. Pretty useful for art and craft.

Today, we did a collage of a little girl called Sophie. Simple. Just draw a girl with a dress and let the little one paste on scraps of paper for the dress. Sophie drew the flowers (she called them flowers) on the top.

The black piece was totally random. Sophie was tearing tissue with full concentration and arranging them on the floor. I felt bad stopping her so I put glue on a piece of piece and gave it to her to stick her "art work" on it.

Oh yes and we found a really cool series of books of worksheets published by the Kumon people (TIMES the bookshop sells them). It’s meant for 2 years and above. It’s learning systematic pasting, cutting, colouring – mastering their fine motor skills. It seems really stifling but it’s been GREAT during brainless hours. I just take it out and do it with Sophie. She loves it!
