Arts & craft

We have been doing quite a number of scribbling/drawing/colouring/finger painting/palm painting even collage in this month alone. I really think it's not bad at all as i try to make this a weekly thing for missy.. she is getting better with her hand control of the crayons/colour pencils..

To make sure she gets the access of the materials to unleash her creativity ..i always pasted a huge mahjong paper at our glass door and she just take her crayons/colour pencils and scriblle.. draw.. and only friday or sunday i will let her play with finger play with sponges and she evolve to using palm to chop on the papers..

We recently did a collage too.. which is a simple one with my help to prepare the torn magazines then she just take the paper and paste it onto the 3 balloons outline.. i will let her practise more of such craft.. good motro skill

New Words

Today im surprised when missy said "touch touch" woah.. her vocab really is expanding.. she wants to touch the toys during our visit to Kiddy palace and keep saying touch and when we passed by Levi's shop, i war the hat onto her head.. after that she keeps saying hat hat.. so i got to really watch what i say.. she is learning fast..
