RAINBOW RICE

Saraya dan Rainbow ricenye

tak larat nak taip banyak-banyak...gambo dan cara buat je..

bahan-bahan

1. beras putih

2. food colouring

3. cuka

4.plastic bag

5. bekas nak letak

macam mana buat

first ikut berapa banyak kaler nak buat...amik beras...masuk dalam plastic bag container...masuk cuka skit...then masukkan food colouring...picit-picit dan ratakan kaler tadi...  

pastu jemur ( bukan kat panas terik okay...kat tempat yang ade pengudaraan)

taraaa!!!! Siap!!!

cantek tak kaler die?????????

  

Ni gambar lepas beras dah kering...saya masukkan dalam botol and seperti biasa...Saraya akan tumpahkan semua....hahah... A MESSY PLAY!

Sekian...hehe...selamat mencuba....Tapi make sure keep an eye waktu anak main erk... :) Kalau anak dah besar boleh variasikan bende ni...contoh bubuh la dalam container untuk die main aiskrim-aiskrim ke...bubuh atas playdough ke..ape saje la yang kome rase best...

PUTTING IN AND TAKING OUT...

Fine Motor Skill

Mesti pelik nama post ni kan...tak pelik...cuma nak share some of the simplest fine motor skill game yang kite biasa main tapi tak notice...one of it ialah...our kid akan masuk dan keluarkan barang-barang.... itu dah consider fine motor skill!!! 

kadang-kadang depe suke keluarkan baju-baju yang kite dah lipat...pastu depe masukkan balik kan? jangan marah depe ye...itu cara depe nak tahu rupenye bende-bende ni boleh tarik keluar dan masukkan balik!!!

Jadi i've read some articles on teh imprtance of fine motor skill...sangat penting...to teach anak-anak kita dalam mengendalikan bende bende menggunakan tangan dan kaki ... contoh bile anak-anak kite suke menggunting...itu maknenye they have good fine motor skill... susun susun barang ke...susun kasut semua...stacking cups....pastu perasan tak kadang kadang the boys suke susun susun kereta....

dulu waktu zaman saya kecik kecik paling kiteorg suke susun bantal-bantal/ kusyen-kusyen buat macam fort la...rumah la...itu pun fine motor dan gross motor skill... 

so kali ni nak share sikit aktiviti yang myself buat dengan Saraya waktu umur die setahun ni ....

Bagi die ape saje box yang berlubang/bertutup... ( make sure tak tajam) pastu dengan alat-alat tulis...pastu ajar die dulu...masukkan bende alah semua tu dalam lubang tu...die memang buat lepas tue... pastu i took out the lid...bagi botol kosong je...then die masuk dan keluarkan semua alat-alat tulis ni...

ni antara few pics managed to take

Itu je yang mampu tangkap...selebihnye layan die main then bagi encouragement setiap kali die berjaya masukkan alat-alat tulis tue :)

Happy Trying People

EDIBLE BATH PAINT.. AND IT'S YUMMY!!

 Making Bath Time Super YummY!!!!

This is my first time making bath paint for Saraya...and trust me the ingredients used were cheap and yummy!!!! u might wanna play those with your kids...

The Ingredients
1. Whipped Cream
2. Food coloring
 
Walaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! as simple as ABC... (TOLD YA ITS YUMMY)...

Now move on to the play scene time!!! 

Vibrant colours right?

The Purple colors somehow or rather had been spilled by my girl

Then the water started to change colours and it managed to make Saraya got puzzled...

But you need to wash ur baby cleanly and thoroughly after that because the bath paints did leave some oily and sticky residue...make sure you supervised ur kids...dont get too obsessed taking pics okay???

Happy Creating Bath Time Ritual!!!

For my husband :)

Books....

Im always crazy with Books....let alone when buying For Saraya....most of the books are bought locally and Internationally...there is one website that i love purchasing books from 

It is Book Depository ... they offer free shipping... dont get wrong...its not that i dont like our MPH or Kinokuniya or borders or Popular... But some of the books are not available and i have to wait for about a month for the restock....so i prefer buying form Book Depo....

I love reading to my daughter...and i dont care if she understand or not...sometimes she will just look at the pictures..flip the pages and throw the book without any warning....i enjoy watching her doing that...sometimes she will show figures of " Please read this to me and read with me" ...

There are few books she likes the most...and one of it is Barney Saltzberg's Books.. because there are few pages she can pull or do sort of things ... there is one of this man's book she has pulled the characters out from it...

Down!!!Selepas how many books she has gone through :)

DIY MINI FORT FOR SARAYA

I came across few Pinterest pins on making your own castle or fort from scratch ( using cardboard)... have been asking my hubby which of course more detailed than me in making things...

kalau myself buat memang main buat je...seni memang zero la..asalkan bende tu siap...Presentation skill memang takde... ( Tp sape kisah pun..i'm not a perfectionist)

So my husband took Saraya's Carseat Box ( Moderate size) jadikan fort untuk die main-main...

Tak tau macam mana my husband did...but the next morning i woke up...the Fort is there already and need few decorations before it is good to go !!!

Tapi...seperti biasa la...i dont wanna disturb my husband's effort sebab for me...whatever he made has a beauty in it and i will accept the end result... :)

so here are few pics of our daughter playing the fort and minding her own business :)

Nampak tak muke kenakalan si kecik ni???
 
And the mummy also trying to squeeze in...to the despair..it cannot fit two people...haha...

I know my daughter is not very happy when i terrorize her ALONE space :)

 

DIY WAYANG KULIT TEATER

Here you are. My very own Shadow Puppet Theatre :)

Shadow Puppet or Wayang Kulit is a super duper happy moment for me...WHY?
Because i make and create something illogical or crazy or even out from this world characters just to entertain myself and my kid...  

this is basically my first attempt on making a shadow puppet theatre

all you need is a cardboard (besar kecik depends on u)
some fancy paper to decorate it 
paints ( Acrylic if you wish to paint your cardboard)
Tracing paper ( as the screen)
torchlight or any lights to project the pencahayaan 
Shadow Puppet Figures ( cari je kat internet banyak jenis printable)

Here's the final touch of my Theatre

Kecik je sebab test run :) comel tak theatre saya?

So malam tu jugak main ngan my daughter ... first-first memang die macam heran dengan bende alah ni...Saraya siap nak cuba jatuhkan thetre ni...die perginye knocking on the screen...uisssyhhh....terkejut mummy die tgk die buat macam tue... my husband is a creative man...so die pergi amik figure horse yang agak kecil then letak atas kotak yang very grassy ...

Ini die punye :)

 Taraa!!! konon konon macam kuda tu tengah nak lari ke pokok la...

See....Sebenarnya bile main shadow puppet u r not only making an effort to make your kids happy...at the same time u r making yourself also happy .. Shadow Puppet aka Wayang Kulit also is a good Story Telling Time.... how that so??? Sebabbbbbbbbbb...bila kita main wayang kulit...op coz kita akan menceritakan cerita berkaitan wayang kulit tu kat anak-anak kita kan...so basically this is the time where you can create so many illogical stories ( yang elok sahaja la) and instill some moral values semua.... 

Remember parents...Education Starts At Home :)

Yang ni plak my version

I Was singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to Saraya that time... :) i felt extremely happy sebab my childhood memories kembali bile buat ni dengan my daughter...i dont wanna my daughter terlalu terdedah dengan bende bende teknologi...so this is one of my effort nak cube kurangkan penggunaan teknologi :)

This is the time when Saraya Got so excited and cube tolak the Thetre !!!

Tu dier si kecikkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dah One year makin banyak perangi...but i adore her!

That's it parents...selamat mencuba dan teruskan bermain dengan anak-anak anda sebab PLAY is most important in children's life :)
