Activities for children - Fun glasses

Again my daughter was asking for painting. 

We took a cardboard sheet. Since we don't have a printer, we did the drawing ourselves. We did the painting.

Fun Glasses craft

Idea copied from : http://www.firstpalette.com/Craft_themes/Wearables/Fun_Glasses/funglasses.html

Instead of temple (ear) pieces, I tried attaching twine that can go around her head. I attached the twine using a stapler. 

It took us just half an hour.

She enjoyed it well and took it to temple and whereever she went!

Since my daughter liked painting, she kept asking for painting.

We did this. It was fun. My daughter loved painting her own hand.

Activities for children - House


I dont know how I got this idea. I just started cutting the card board and made it. Its not perfect. Anyways it was fun to make it.

We made a double door and used the little catchers(hair clip) as the lock to the door.



Since the camera is not with me, I am using a similar photo from the net.

Now the little chicken which she got it from school is sleeping in the new house made by her.

Activities for children - Octopus and Penguin

I am writing this because it will be easy to repeat for my second child. 

I got this idea from the internet. http://www.hellokids.com/c_11842/activities/how-to-draw-step-by-step-drawing-tutorials/learn-how-to-draw-with-hands/how-to-draw-an-octopus-with-your-hand

My daughter was little reluctant to colour it but was happy to see me making it. When our neighbour came she was happy to show it to her and I repeated the activity with them, which she enjoyed with her friend.

Actually I wanted to paste our own photo. But since the camera is with the cousin, I am not able to paste ours.

Naughtiness of my daughter - 2

We are doing alteration in the house according to Vaastu Sastra! Hence the house itself a total mess with workers in and out of the house.

This time my daughter had hidden the house key again. We searched and couldnt find out. This time the search team were 4! My husband had to use the Car for everything for one and half days.

Then while taking the vacuum cleaner to clean the house, we found it not working properly and lots of small items were coming out of the blower duct - bits of paper, colour pencil, sketch, wooden pieces, small ball. Finally my husband guessed that the key should be in there. He peeped into the hole and found a glimpse of the key. 




We let of a sigh of relief and dismantled the vacuum cleaner as she had put it in the blower duct.
