Birdies...:)

My course is taking my time lately. I have to go to class for 2 days and go to kinder for 2 days. But still I miss doing crafty things. One week before holiday my daughter become VIP week. In that week she showed and told about herself. One day of that week, she brought her favorites toys. She chose one of crochet doll that I made when she was in kinder and the bird house from last year Easter activity.

When I picked her up, her friend approached me and said," Lulu can you make me a bird like Reyna has?". Then I made her bird in her favourite colour. This is the size of the bird, my daughter, 5YO, holding them.

Then my daughter asked to make 2 more for her friends. She made the nest. As her classroom friends are 20. My friend said," Lulu, you will end up make 20 birds..." LOL 

Where are I up to?

It has been a while, I did  not update in my blog. I wrote a lot actually for my study. Now I am in my second semester now. How time flies...:). I just update you some of my project that I have been done in my placement in kinder. I really like the subject about children development and playing. My teacher said I passed the units..:). What a relieved...:).

This was art painting for 3YO with the props aboriginal works.

This one was for 4YO. It is almost similar with the modification that are appropriate with their age. 

It was fun that my children also help me to prepare. What a tango...:). My son help me to saw the paper roll I got the card board free from spotlight...:). My daughter helped me to sand the end of tube. I let them involved in this activity, so that they understand what I am doing at the moment in my study. I discussed with them about dot painting. When I said, " Do you think it will difficult to make such kind of art for kinder? " He said. " Mum...little children can make anything. ...".

And this is the result of the activities:

Aren't they beautiful art works? One thing that I remembered from my teacher. The activity is worked, when it comes in different result. Nobody is the same. Every child will have their own creativity!

There was another activity that I set up. I made moon sand and rocket ship from my children's Lego. I wrapped the lego people with aluminium foil. It was hard to find astronaut figurine in toys shop so that I decided to make by myself.

This all about planning, creating, observing and reporting the project.  It blended my knowledge as parent, enhancing with the knowledge from the course and putting it in practice in kinder as professional. What an experience...:)

Where is Dougie?

There was an email that I received last week. The doll that I sold last year in Wattle Festival has been traveled to the northern hemisphere...How exciting....:). M told me that his son, 2YO, lent him his doll to accompany him during his travel. Oh..so touching...:).The photo that he sent me as Dougie traveled to Finland, Estonia, Italy, Austria and Germany.
