Tambourine
2008-11-01 15:42:00 I planned to do this craft with my kids a long time ago but if you remembered me saying the shop that sells these bells had run out of stock. More like no longer selling them to me.Anyway, I found Daiso selling the bells (much bigger and cheaper!) , 20 a pack for $2. I bought a pack. :)My daughter fell asleep in the late evening today and was not able to sleep at her usual bedtime. So I decided to do this with her without my son. He can always do it on his own tomorrow. :)Materials needed: 1 Paper Plate 10 Bells or any quatity you like 10 Pipe Cleaners or according to the no. of bells you have Colouring Medium (optional) How to do it:If you like, draw a picture on the bottom of the plate for your child to colour.'String' the bells with the pipe cleaners.Punch holes on the edge of the plate leaving a side free for your child to hold later.Twist pipe cleaner with the bell through the punched hole to secure it.If your child is very young, you might want to tape the lose end of the pi...

Button Flowers
2008-10-13 15:43:00 This is an alternative to the craft I did with my daughter much earlier. We had intended to make these flowers for her teachers but the shop selling the bells had ran out of bells.So I used buttons instead of bells. We gave each teacher 2 flowers of Bell and Button Flowers in a stalk each. It looked a lot more nicer.I'm repeating the instructions here for easy reference.Materials needed:Cardboard Paper (We used index card)Pipe Cleaner/Wire (We used wire)ButtonColouring Medium (We used colour pens)How to do it:Draw the outline of a flower on the cardboard.Cut out the flower.Colour the flower.Use a pencil to poke 2 small holes in the center of the flower.Fold the wire into half.Thread the wire through the holes of the button and through the holes on the paper.The button should be in the middle of the pipe cleaner.Twist the wire together.Bent the flower forward and it's done.

Pipe Cleaner Bird
2008-08-25 20:19:00 For this year's Teachers' Day gift, I'm helping my son do Memo Animal Clips for his teachers.How they were done was purely accidental. I meant to do something else using straight pipe cleaners but the shops at my place here doesn't carry them anymore so I bought a similar one; those you use to tie on your plants during Chinese New Year. But I'm not able to use it to make the craft i intend to do.However, after some twisting an twirling, the pipe cleaners became a ball. After adding some animal parts, the animal became visible. I think it's rather cute. My son's favourite is the Bird and mine is the Bee.For this craft, I prepared the 'ball' as the head, cut all the parts required for the individual animals and my son did the bending and sticking. (Video instructions is at the end of this post)click on the photo to enlargeMaterials required:Clothes pegsWiggle eyes'Bumpy' pipe cleanersStraight pipe cleaners (optional for some animals)GlueParts required for Bee:1 bumpy pipe ...

Bell Flower
2008-08-15 05:52:00 I have been very busy with my son's school work to do any craft. Plus since he is already attending extra Art lessons in school.

AppleTree
2008-06-28 06:21:00 A really simple craft for the kids. My son helped his sister cut out the tree top and I helped to paste the coloured paper for the tree trunk. I had intended for the kids to paint the trunk but that would mean that they have to wait for a few hours for the paint to dry before they can assemble the tree. If your kids are patient enough, let them paint. It will be a lot easier for little tots.Materials needed:Empty kitchen paper rollBrown Coloured PaperDouble Sided TapeCrepe Paper, cut into squares and squeezed into ball-likeA3 paper or 2 pcs A4 paperGlueColouring MediumHow to do it:Fold A3 paper into half and draw the outline of a tree top.Colour the tree top green. You can colour only 1 side if you want. 2 sides will look nicer though.Cut out the tree top.Glue crepe paper balls to the tree top.Put aside to dry.Paste brown colour paper on to the paper roll using either glue or double sided tape.

Macaroni Necklace
2008-05-16 06:00:00 I found half a bag of Penne (pasta) in my store. Since I'm the only one at home who eat it, I decided to use it for something else to quickly finish it. :PI gave my daughter a string and she eagerly starts threading them. She couldn't stop with just one necklace. She did 2! And 2 bracelets too!For older kids, you can get them to paint the penne first. You will get very nice and colourful necklaces instead.Materials needed:Penne Pasta (elbow pasta works well too)Strings, desired length.How to do it:Help the child tie a penne pasta to one tie of the string, so the rest will not slip through.Let the child string the pasta one a time till he/she attain the desired length. Tape the end of the string with sticky tape if it's to 'soft' for the child to threadHelp the child remove the end pasta and tie a knot to secure.Done. Your child can now wear his/her food.* It's never to old to thread ** Macaroni Necklace s and Bracelets *

Paper Cups Christmas Tree
2007-11-26 03:45:00 The other day when we were at Starbucks, I saw one of their decorations in their store. It looks like a white tree made out of thick strips of paper. I didn't take a closer look at it but it looks interesting to me and had given me an idea. I thought I'll try to make a similar Christmas Tree with my son and well, it became my personal favourite now. Oh, I did help with curling here because it will take him ages to curl all the strips.Christmas is around the corner. If you do not have a Christmas tree at home, why not make it to add it a bit of festive feel? Materials needed:10 Paper Cups 1 Rubber Band1 (Balloon) Stick2 Stickers of the same size and shapeSome Paper Clay or any Self Dry ClayTools needed:ScissorsPencilThick ClothHow to do it:Measure 0.5cm from the rim of the cup and draw around it.Increase the measurement by 0.5cm for the next cup, ie, Cup No. 2 will be 1cm, No.3 - 1.5cm, No.4 - 2cm and so on.Cut the rim according to the line drew above.

Christmas Flower Memo Clip
2007-11-16 05:04:00 Today's the last day of school and it's party day for the kids at school. We did some candy cane butterfly for my son's classmates.His Chinese Teacher will still be teaching him next year but not for his English Teacher, Mrs Eunice. She is a really good teacher. My son kept telling me Mrs Eunice taught me this and that. Hopefully, his new English Teacher will be as good as Mrs Eunice.Anyway, we did Christmas presents for the teachers too for all the hard work and patience they put in to nurture the kids. I told my son it's Christmas Flower s that we are doing so we are going to paint it in shades of red but he wanted it in blue and green too. He said they looked more like pinwheels and wind mills! Oh well!We had planned to paint the base too but the clay took longer than we thought to dry, so we had to leave it unpainted. I should have put them in the oven to bake it. Anyway, we do hope the teachers like it.Materials needed:8 Penne Pasta2 Ice Cream Sticks1 Clothes Peg1 (adult) ha... More About: Clip , Memo
