Art and Craft

Painting seem to be our weekly affair now. A tray of different water colours and 2 types of different paint brushesgoes a long way. Helps to teach Kris about colour recognition and also how to paint within the lines.

However, things do get slightly messy when she doodle on the table as well.
 

Fingers can be a good source of stamping too

Playdoh

Imagination is all you need when you come to kneading dough. There are endless creativity and ideas from our little chipmunk. She enjoyed her weekends morning kneading kaya butter bread for mama and prata for papa.

Those little pair of scissor and dough stamper helped to train her fine motor skills as well.

This can keep her occupied for a longgg while (often it's us who requested her to stop).

Imitation

It can be funny at times when Kris try to learn by imitating us, help us to order our regular coffee during weekend mornings "KOPI SI" or imitating us when we are angry. This tickles us at times. At the same times, teaches us to be mindful what we say or do in front of her. Being parents is not an easy piece of cake.

Are you happy?

Kris: Mama, are you happy?
Me: (Caught unaware) Yes, I am. are you happy Kris?
Kris: Yes. I love mama.

Ahhhh. Totally melted me. My jealous husband was asking our darling daughter on why she didn't ask him this question.
