Say the word RAT and most of us will jump! But I’m sure this origami rat will make even the kids to love rodents.

You'll need a square piece of paper. Try getting grey for maximum effect.
Fold it half and half again. Open. We just need the lines that has formed.
Fold one end, not too near the middle.
Fold a flip upwards as the ear.
Fold the bottom nicely to the back. The origami rat is quite ready.
Decorate it and it is all ready to eat cheese!
I think most of us will have these cotton balls at home. Why not create something cute out of it?
Isn't it cute?
You'll need a cotton ball and some beans. Glue the beans as the legs.
Two more beans as the ear and a couple of googly eyes. The cutie furball is done!

Remember the fingerprint bees we did not too long ago? Well, let’s develop it a little bit more and create a garden with butterflies and flowers.
Beautiful colourful fingerprint butterfly.
Paint your thumb with the colours of your choice.
Print it onto a paper as the butterfly's wings.
You may add in some flowers, leaves and the bees too.
Once it is all dried up, you will need to help the little ones decorate their garden a little bit using markers.

I’m sure we all have egg cartons ‘scattered’ in our house from time to time. Let’s see what we can do with those cartons.
I think we can do a cute penguin out of it…
Paint the egg carton white
Cut a strip of black craft foam and wrap it around the painted carton. You'll need two.
Use a stapler to stapel them together
Trim off the excess carton
Add the wings of the penguin
Decorate the penguin with googly eyes, orange craft foam as the beak, yellow craft foam as the feet and tie a ribbon around it’s neck as a scarf. Give it an ear muff for maximum coolness effect! You may want to glue a magnet at the back of it and it can be a cute fridge magnet!

Introducing Jack
Alright, so Halloween is a couple of months away. But It’s never too early to start planning right? Instead of using the big and bulky pumpkin year in year out and throwing them away after a party, why not try using a smaller version? An orange. Kids will love them, adults will find them delicious!
Here's a fresh orange
