Our pillows need a make over! So we had our hands on our mum's beloved sewing machine and spent a few hours making new pillow cases! Sewing is definitely fun and we can't wait for any new sewing projects in the future :)
Floral and polka dots fabrics can be found in Daiso.

In the classroom | Transportation Theme
Wednesday, September 5, 2012 | 10:45 PM | 0 comments
Hello everyone! I guess we've been on hiatus for quite a long time but we are back here again! With this post, I'd like to share what I've been doing to my kindergarten classroom for the past few weeks. The theme for the previous term was on Transportation so I had the opportunity to doll up my Dramatic Play Centre for the children (:
With some DIY cardboard wheels and a painted picture of the front of a bus, I converted the old dressing rack into a bus!
I also added in a card-tapping machine at the side of the bus. Basically the children had to tap their entry tags onto the machine for an entry into the bus. We do have that in the real buses in Singapore! And a tiny door-stopping button (:
I had an enjoyable time putting up the decorations for my Dramatic Play Centre and I am even more looking forward to dolling it up for next term's theme: Animals!
Last but not least, here's wishing all educators and teachers out there a Happy Teacher's Day!
Teachers plant seeds of knowledge that grow forever. ♥

DIY - crepe paper flowers
Wednesday, July 4, 2012 | 10:37 PM | 0 comments
This month's dramatic corner theme is on plants, and I have decided to set up a flower arranging activity booth for the children to play with. Amidst all the assignments, I did get to spend some time getting crafty!
To make these crepe paper flowers, you'll need
- Martha Stewart crepe paper flowers template (get them here)
- colourful crepe papers
- coloured napkins from IKEA
- green coloured straws (I did not use floral wire for safety reasons)
- green floral tape
Follow the template and instructions provided by Martha Stewart and you'll be fine. Have fun!
Love, Saliha

Fun with Art Journal
Sunday, May 27, 2012 | 2:23 PM | 0 comments
So recently I've started doing art journals during my free time. Some hours spent on pasting, cutting, and rearranging the materials do help me put away all the stress from work. So here are some art journal pieces that I've done and I'd like to share them here. I love how you can just mix and match your materials and resources on a single piece of paper and turn it into a masterpiece ♥
Love, Syafiah

Fruit Stall
Friday, May 18, 2012 | 9:34 PM | 0 comments
Well this month, the home/dramatic corner theme is on Fruits. I had to transform a portion of the corner into a fruit stall. So Tada!
It is far from perfect though. I originally planned it to be a standing stall where children can peer through that window and play pretend to buy and sell. However, there wasn't enough space for that in the home corner and that whole cardboard might fall. I didn't know how to make it steady enough, so yeah, had to place it against the wall instead.
I definitely had fun setting this up and enjoyed hanging the paper buntings. They look kinda cute don't you think? After setting up the stall, I just had to play with it and pretended to do my fruit shopping using those tiny shopping carts. <3
With love, Saliha
