Feel like making a fly today.
You’ll need a black craft foam, a laminating sheet, pipe cleaner, some yarn, stones for the eyes and glue.
Trace your handprint on the laminating sheet.

Cut two circles of slightly different sizes and a small oval and paste them onto a piece of paper to form the abdomen of the fly.

Spread glue onto the laminating sheet and scatter some yarn all over it.

Sorry for the picture does not really show the ‘wings’ properly. Anyway, here is the handprint fly.

Freaky Hair Smiley

Ethan loves anything smiley! Everything belonging to him will have a smiley sticker on it. I’ve decided to make his smiley a little bit freaky and happening! ^^
First, draw a circle on a piece of paper. Draw a smiley face on the circle.

Then put a drop of water paint on the top of the smiley head and blow it to form hair. Keep on doing it with different colours all over the head.

Your smiley will look something like this. Cut a circle out of a yellow paper and paste it onto your smiley here. Optional, I cut a ‘sunglass’ out of black craft foam to make my freaky smiley looks cool!

There you are. The freaky hair smiley!

What to do on a bored rainy day? Get your water paint out and let’s start finger printing!
First I let him do some ‘practise’ on a piece of paper.
Upon reaching the ‘pro‘ level, I let him do the finger printing on a new piece of paper! :D
There! After the paint has dried up, I help him draw some stripes and wings and his finger prints are now Buzzing Busy Bees!

At the playground today, Ethan kept on observing the trees and the falling leaves. He has seen those trees and the leaves everyday for so many months now but wonder why today he was more intrigue by them. So when we got back home, I decided to do this craft with him.
By now this boy is an expert in tracing the outline of his palm. I helped him cut out the ‘hands’ as he is too young to use the scissors.
I let him do his own pasting. One thing about craft for kids is, the more imperfect it is, the better I like it!
He is so proud of all his crafts, he kept on telling Daddy, “Ethan make tree” and also “Ethan make SUN” referring to his previous Sun craft! :)
