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 :)

The Animal Kingdom
Saturday, October 6, 2012 | 11:33 AM | 0 comments

Theme of the Term: ANIMALS! 

For the past weeks, I have been teaching my children on the animal kingdom; farm animals, zoo animals and pets while I will be covering creepy crawlies and underwater animals next. The children have had a great time learning about animals, especially reading books about animal facts or animal stories. For this term's Art & Craft project, I was inspired by LearnCreateLove's craft projects and decided to try some of them with my children!


What we used:
The children enjoyed their time while doing the craft projects and I certainly had a good time aiding them through! ♥

You can look through LearnCreateLove's craft projects that got me inspired here and here!

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. ♥

Fun with Art Journal

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 ♥

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
