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!

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! 😂😂😂

Chinese New Year Decoration at Craft Space

Chinese New Year is just a month away...to welcome the year of the Monkey...u should expect to see a lot of Monkey themed crafts...I really mean it 😜😜😜

After the successful decoration for Halloween & Xmas, we just can't stop & we want to continue to challenge ourselves further!

So, for this CNY decoration, we made cute monkeys...

How can we not have the Cherry Blossom tree???

We even added some Mandarin Oranges made from Magic Nuddles...

We have lots of cherry blossom flowers on the floor too!

Not to mention a lucky cat made from foam AND fire crackers from Ang Pow packets! 😍😍😍

I even took out my pride possession...the pineapple that I made when I was a teenager...cool huh?

Best of all...the wishing board is made using LOTS of Perler beads...we even manage to make it in Chinese characters...

We also made 2 Lucky Cats out of Perler Beads & are now on display...hopefully they will bring us more sales 😊😊😊

This decoration project is making all the instructors excited but for Putra team...we actually got some kids to involve in the making!

This masterpiece took us about 2 weeks to complete which involved at least 50 kids! 😍😍😍

Super loving this!

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! 😍😍😍

32nd Craft activity (14th - 27th April 2016)

Last year when we introduced Doodle with Nuudles, it was a hit! It has became a very popular craft for kids age 2 & up! With the many good responses from customers, we continue to come up with more designs...we now have 3 tables full of displays with Magic Nuudles...

Ok ok...to refresh your memory about Magic Nuudles...this is by far the safest material that I have encountered...super love this material as it is not only safe enough to eat, it is also environmentally friendly.

Manufactured with only 3 ingredients: corn starch, food coloring & water...it is safe for children who love to put everything in their mouth...though we do not encourage it but in case the kids do out it in their mouth, all you need to do is let them drink lots of water & the Nuudles will dissolve! Wonderful, isn't it?

This year, we focused more on theme...as you noticed...most of our crafts now come with a theme...so here you go...

Have you wonder what would it feel like to travel with a group of wild animals?

Aren't these the cutest & most adorable insects you've ever seen? 😍😍😍

Some fun time at the farm, anyone?

Who's hungry?

Busy time at the construction site...

And, who wouldn't love a happy dinosaur...

So, which design you love best? 😜😜😜

31st Craft Activity (31st March - 13th April 2016)

Beading is definitely addictive!!!

As this is by far one of the most popular craft at my center, we need to continue to come up with more designs to keep the kids excited, most importantly, to keep all of my instructors (including myself) excited...😜😜😜

Last year, we made lots of coasters, from fruit to flower to princesses to superheroes...

This year, we try something different...

Ta-daa!!! Last year we protect the bottom of the cup, this year, we protect the top of the cup...😜😜😜 YEA!!! We HAVE to make it in donut form...

Hungry for donuts? 😜😜😜
