Kerri's 1st time at Fidgets Island

After the Winx Club show, we headed over to Fidgets Island at Paragon for some fun craft activity. This was Kerri's 1st time at Fidgets Island. And she chose to do the acrylic painting, just like Kae.

As this was Kerri's 1st time, I sneaked back to check on them now and then during the 90 minutes period. Thankfully Kerri behaved herself and was alright just being there with Kae. Yay! This means I can leave them there in the future for more shopping/alone time!

Rainbow Loom

Our latest hobby is none other than looming! Yup, we've gotten into the rainbow loom craze! I bought the set from Spotlight just on friday and the girls have been bugging me since daily to make bracelets for them and their friend. I think I need more bands.

Art Canvas Camp

I love that Kae loves art. So I always sign her up for a Arts Camp during her school holidays. And this time round, the theme was Noah's Ark, and she came back with a gorgeous canvas piece.

Glow in the dark Firefly from Lollibox

It was another day and Kae decided she wanted to create a firefly, from the Itsy Bitsy Bugs Theme from Lolliox. 

I do love how Kae enjoys doing her craft work from Lollibox. But having said that, I do not know if I want to continue subscribing to them after 3 months. Their price per box has gone up from $24.90 to $28.90, and this increase is since their inception of not even a year ago? 

The price we pay for our kids.

Her 1st Lollibox!

There had been so much hype about the new kid on the block, Lollibox, that I've decided to order a 3 months subscription and let Kae have some fun since she loves such craft work so. Plus the fact that there was a $5 coupon code given on the blog Life is in the small things.

Kae's first Lollibox was the Moon and Stars Theme.

Each box comes with with 4 major components, namely Create (a hands on project to develop kids' creativity and expression), Discover (a theme based project to enrich kids' minds), Enrich (carefully selected activities and exercises) and Award (a badge to award the child upon completion of all activities). 

And Kae chose to Create her first glowing moon. ALL materials are provided in the box. They even provide a bowl to mix the glue in and a bowl to place the balloon on while pasting the sheets of paper. Really very thoughtful!

I tried to let Kae do most of the work, but in the end I had to help her with pasting the papers onto the balloon. She enjoyed doing her moon very much, and was so excited to see her glowing moon the next day in the dark when the glue dried. No pictures sorry, but it really did have a slight glow in the dark effect.

Can't wait to do the next activity on another day!

Kae's 1st Play Date

After a year at St James, Kae finally had her very first play date with her bff Alana.

Alana is Kae's classmate cum bus-mate. They take the same bus to and from school, and sit with each other in the bus. She lives just mere minutes away from us via car. And the 2 girls will still be classmates next year; their current class is spilt into 2 different classes next year with another class.

The girls are just too sweet together. Once Alana arrived, they cannot stop smiling at each other. They kept laughing and jumping for joy. And their first order of the day. kitchen play.

After about 40 minutes, the girls proceeded to do some craft work, finger puppets. I bought some for Kerri's school homework, and there were extras. Not cheap though, they cost $3 each? From Spotlight. There are lots of animals to choose from. I bought a Hippo for Kerri, Kae did a Zebra and Alana did a Lion.

For lunch, the girls had the Happy Meal from McDonald's. Yup, I didn't cook. Hah! 

And the final activity of the day was Ring painting! The girls get to paint and create their own rings. 5 rings each. They were super excited! I bought this during a sale. Faber Castell has quite a collection of creative craft for kids. And they are quite easy for them to do. 

Till the next play date!
