Ketupat Making & Raya Card Making Event

For the last 3 weeks, we were having a concourse event in conjunction of the upcoming Raya celebration.

It was amazing to teach so many young kids the value of tradition & what Raya is all about.

Here is some of the crafts that we taught:

The traditional Ketupat is a little tough for some kids, but when they finally did it...it is priceless!

Hari Raya Cards of various designs:

And what Raya is without the Ketupat...

This Craft Making session was an initiative from Subway Putra Mall KL to promote the Ramadan. We were privilege to be part of their initiative!

Birthday Parties for the Kids

Last December, we had a small birthday celebration for both Christopher & Annabelle...

Since it was just a small lunch with the grandparents, I only order a cake for each of them...

Christopher was into Lego Star Wars...so he requested a Lego Star Wars theme. Made him this cake with lots of Star Wars mini figures...

As for Annabelle, she is into Sofia the First so I ordered a Sofia cake for her, with Sofia & Clover mini figure...

The birthday boy & birthday girl busy munching on the cake!

Merry Christmas from Craft Space!

After the success of our Halloween theme decoration, we just have to make another one for Xmas...how can we not?! This time, the other instructors & I decided to use different materials to make the Xmas theme. This is also to show what we preached ourselves to be a Crafter that teach different crafts using different materials...

Preparation started about 2 weeks before December.

We made a Christmas tree using toilet paper roll wrapped with green & brown papers. Then we wrapped ribbons around it & sticker some Pom Poms of different sizes as the ornaments. We also added some candy sticks ornament and Santa Claus ornament made from Rainbow Loom.

We put some 'presents' under the tree.

Next, with toilet paper roll, made An angel, Santa, a snowman & a reindeer...

Completed decoration...giant snowflakes from Popsicle sticks covered with glitters & rhinestones, a Perler Beads Gingerbread Man, a giant Chenille Stem Candy Stick, & a quilled Poinsettia!

Oh, we also made a golden star using Chenille Stem too!

After we completed the decoration for Craft Space The School Jaya One, we just can't stop! So we did 1 set for our Sunway Putra KL center too! But it is slightly different as we have limited space there... 😅😅😅

We made a Paper Plate Snowman...

A Paper Plate Wreath...

A Pom Pom Snowman...this is super fluffy!

Giant Snowflakes using Popsicle Sticks...

A Christmas tree using foam, a giant star with Chenille Stem & paper...Jingle Bells...

Giant Chenille Stem Candy Sticks...

Another Snowman using Cotton balls...

An Angel...

This is how it looked like when we put up the decoration on 1 side...

Oh...we forgot about the reindeer 😂😂😂

The e citation attracted a lot of passerby to our center again! Yippee!!! 

Mission accomplished!

Constantine's 1st Craft Party

During the last school holiday, Constantine wanted to invite his friends over for a gathering, so we organized a Craft Party!

This is taken after we have set up the snack area. Christopher got an invitation to the Craft Party too & he is pretty excited because his friend (one of Constantine's classmate's younger brother who is also Christopher's classmate) will also be coming!

This is the entire setup, ready & waiting for the kids' arrival. Yuya & his brother were the first to arrive. So Constantine & Christopher were playing with them at the back.

Kids are having fun with Perler Beads! 

They are having fun with Magic Nuudles!

All in all, it was a success! I hope all of the kids had fun! 😜😜😜

33rd Craft Activity (28th Apr - 11th May 2016)

Mothers are the greatest human being in the world...they can be a daughter, a wife, a mom, chef, teacher, chauffeur, counsellor, friend, domestic helper aka cleaner, etc etc etc...all at the same time!

I always wonder how women manage it all until I became mom myself...😂😂😂

So, for this year's Mothers Day, we teach kids to make something useful for mommy dearest!

Each set of coaster comes with a 3D card handmade by the kids themselves...there are 4 designs for them to choose...

Plus, to celebrate the sacrifices of the most beautiful woman on the world, we give away a stalk of crochet flower, a flower keychain/bag charm, and a flower magnet...each of it is carefully hand crafted with lots of TLC...

And to appreciate the great effort of my Instructors, each of them get this to give to their mom...a bouquet of flower & a flower magnet... Each bouquet is unique on its own...

And... I also made half dozen bouquet for my mom too! 😍😍😍
