Teacher's Day Gifts from the boys

For this year's Teacher's Day, the kids did magnets & coaster for their teachers.

We have been teaching the kids to be appreciative towards their teachers & teaching assistants since day 1, so this year is no exception...

For Christopher, he made heart shape magnets for all the female teachers & coasters for all the male teachers.

Well, he most of them himself including writing the card...

Can see that his writing is not up to expectation but hey...I gotta give him credit for putting the effort to do it himself!

This special set is for his home room teacher, hence have a magnet & a coaster...

These coasters are for his male teachers...very colorful...

These are for the female teachers...

For the past years, I always help Constantine to make all his gifts...so this year, I asked him to make it himself since the younger brother is making his on his own!

Not too bad...the design is more structured...

These coasters are for male teachers...

And these are for female teachers...

From this, we can see that both brother are really different in terms of creativity.

Older brother is more structured in his work, maybe it is because he is older. 

Younger brother is all about randomness! He likes colorful things & he actually took time to make it a random pattern! 😂😂😂

34th Craft activity (16th - 30th May 2016)

For this week, we taught kids how to make a notebook based on their creativity.

We let the kids expand their creativity on the notebook...

They can have it in drawing, by hand...

Or have it in any foam character of their choice...or...make it with their favorite Perler Beads cartoon character!

27th Week of Craft Activity (23 Jan 2016 - 5th Feb 2016)

OK, bear with me for this, I'm trying to catch up with all my long overdue blogs!

I will be blasting you with the previous crafts that we have highlighted since the beginning of the year until current in 1 go!!!

So here you go...

As you are know, we have changed the Craft of the Week to every fortnight. Reason being my Instructors are having a tough time catching up with my demand...

So, now, we only change our activity every 2 weeks, sometimes 3 weeks, depending on the season.

For the 1st ever craft for the new year (27th since we started our craft activity journey), it is the CNY Craft, as CNY is on the 8th of Feb...and since this year is the Year of Monkey, do expect to see them, lots of em'...

We made few types of crafts, mainly to decorate the house:

We have it in Magic Nuudles...

Paper Plate...

Popsicle Stick...this serves as mini fan...

Hanging Ornaments...

I super super love all of them! Thanks to my super creative Instructors, Cheryl & Aqilah! 

Happy Birthday Emma!

2 weeks ago, we had a birthday party conducted at our craft center, Craft Space, located at The School Jaya One.

Those who know me knows I always like to personalize everything! From apparels to accessories to parties! Yes, parties! I have been decorating my kids parties since they are born!

Emma's party is no exception! Especially since it will be done at our own craft center! It would be such a waste not to decorate it, wouldn't it?! I mean...it is something I'm passionate about & I love the look of a happy kid! So, I've decided to throw in a little surprise for our birthday gal...

Since the decoration will be a surprise, I had to be very careful when getting information from Emma's mom. I asked about her age...Mommy told me to get some helium balloons to make the center more like a party...with 3 colors: Red, Pink & Yellow...

So, with the limited information, I tried to see what we can do...

Firstly, I need a backdrop...so We DIY the backdrop with simple wordings, together with the birthday gal's name. Since she is a girl, I put up flowers & butterflies on the backdrop. Lots of flowers & butterflies...

This is how the backdrop looks like when it is done...

Rainbow colored Roses on top of the backdrop, daisies of Red, Pink & Yellow are all over the backdrop & little butterflies of contrast colors! 

Oh, I even made a tiny tiara with blings...did you see it? I placed it on the top right hand side of the letter A in Emma!

Since we have decided to pick flowers as the theme, we also decorated the entrance to the party area with lots of flowers made from Chenille Stem...this is what we have done...

Oh! I even decorated the entrance with a fake cake...it has Emma's name on it too!

At the other side where the food is, I placed a huge Happy Birthday Banner on the wall. I also put up words "Emma is 4"

At the 11th hour, a day before the party, we noticed that 1 of the cabinets at the entrance to the party area is very empty...so we cut out teddy bears & lots of balloons using foam to decorate it. We also put up some bear paw prints...this can be the photo booth for the kids!

OK...now we wait for the party to start!

Food area is all setup & ready!

Party started with kids having fun with beads!

It is fun watching kids putting effort to complete a task, especially at their young age. It was our honor to have Emma here at Craft Space too!

Hope the birthday girl had a blast with the party & love the little surprises that we have put up for her big party! 😊😊😊

Mission accomplished!

This year, I've got little helper! Yeap! Constantine helped out this time!

This time, to be honest...I wanted to make more fairies & princesses but I've got not enough time!!! They simply took too long to complete & I couldn't complete them in time for the bazaar as I was busy managing 2 craft centers...😭😭😭

I made a promise to myself that the next Xmas Bazaar, I will have more fairies & princesses! I promise! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Garland or Flag Lines?

Is this called Garland or Flaglines?

Hm...I'm not sure! But I'm pretty sure it is pretty! Hahahaha...

Not to boast, but after it was being hung up there, many passerby actually took photos of it & asked where can they buy something similar...

Well, sorry to say you can't buy it off the shelf because it is custom made...by me...for this mall! I'm pretty proud of myself too because the mall actually placed additional order after the 1st batch is hung...
