Name Recognition

Jenn is very familiar with alphabets, so I decided to make a name recognition for her. It's a simple sticking sticker activity, which requires them to match the alphabets.

What you need:

Paper

Stickers

Marker Pen

How:

Make circles and write down the alphabets of their name on it

Get the stickers ready and write down alphabets on it too

Hope they will love it too! 

Dinosaur

Start introducing dinosaur to Jenn, it's another simple sticking stickers activity. 
She still can't do it perfectly, but I'm still proud of her. 
You'll be amazed how they improved from time to time.

What you need:
Cardboard
Markers/pencil colors/crayon
Stickers

I searched the dinosaur from the net, simply printed it out and colored it, don't forget to leave some blank spots for the stickers.

Enjoy the activity! 

SUN-shine

After everyone was down couple of days ago, now mommy was down too with fever! But I can't wait to make this sun activity for Jenn. 

What you need:
Cardboard (thick!)
DIY Edible Paint
Origami Paper
Scissor
Scotch Tape
Marker pen

Firstly, I let her paint on a thick cardboard with DIY edible paint. She may use her finger, cotton buds or anything that she wants. Then you have to wait until it gets dry. 

You may cut some origami papers while waiting for the painting. I used red, orange and yellow colors to stick on the sun.

Once the painting dries, cut a big circle and you may start sticking on origami papers on the circle's edges with scotch tape. I added smiley face to make it cute!

Jenn didn't finish her job, mommy have to do most of it. We may give it another try next time! 

Counting Tree

Jenn is learning to count, she still can't count properly. Sometimes she start counting from two, and sometimes she just say one to ten without really counting the things i asked. So this time, let's make counting more fun!

What I used:

• Scissor
• Glue
• Origami paper
• Old calendar (I love to upcycle stuff at home!) - Cut it into tree shape and tree trunks, cover up with origami papers.
• Colorful stickers - Write numbers on each color as the task to stick as many stickers as written on it.

Happy sticking, happy counting and have a great day! 

Watermelon, fresh up your day!

During these hot days, let's fresh up your day with this fun watermelon activity!
It's another sticking stickers and counting activity.

Things you need:

• Cardboard
• Black dot stickers
• Markers
• Popsicle sticks

How:

1. Make a circle on the cardboard, and cut it into half to make two pieces of watermelon.
2. Color green and red as the outter and inner watermelon.
3. I let Jenn sticks the black dot stickers as the seeds and counts how many seeds on it.
4. Stick popsicle sticks at the back to let them carry around.

Learning Alphabet "C"

After doing the letter "A" and "B" activity, here comes the letter "C" activity. "C" is for cat and car. It involves sticking, matching and coloring activity.

What you need:

• Cardboard
• Stickers
• Cotton Balls
• Glue

I rolled the cotton into balls and dye it with food coloring, took a while to let it dry. Use pom pom balls for another option.

She did pretty well at matching the alphabets, the activity requires to match the letter and color. It's her 1st time using glue and she's so excited about it, not letting go off her hand.

Last activity is to let her color the car with colorful markers. Enjoy!
