Shopping List

One of the way to teach money values is through shopping catalogues and making her do a (mock) "shopping list".

Here is the result, with no sense of money values.  Long way to go still I guess.

Micro Doodles

"Yeay! For Sports Day"

Home school Doodles

One afternoon she asked about the zero slash zero sign on the calculator.  That's why we slipped in % study in our math lesson.  It's all about the pie...

  

All those studying made us hungry, proceed to afternoon tea.

The Windows to the Heart...

The making of the "Windows"

The completed "Windows"

Mash Ups PPG RRB

When you mix Puff and Ruff, you get LOVE!

Micro Doodles

The mini figures are around again....

Planets as Humans

As we are a pair who obsessed with the solar system, astrology and metaphysics, we often gaze into the sky at night using the SkyView app (great app!).
These are the major planets according to her as humans.

Sun, Mercury, and a container of brand new belt tossed in the bin.

Pegasus, Virgo and Scorpio.

Moon, Earth, Uranus, and Venus.

Saturn, Neptune, and Mars (the red child).

Yin and Yang (Yo).  Pretty sure Disney channel influence.  No matter how much Yin Yang concept I  shared with her, the "Yo" factor always pops up at the end.

Doodles Now

Nowadays she tends to make prototype of her drawings before drawing the real thing.

Then searches for the previous drawing to match it to the new drawing...

Then build on it to tell some stories.

February the month of Red, Pink, and Yellow

We love February, the month of love and care, food and more food, that is after the hard work of tidying up the entire house before the Lunar New Year arrives.  So here are some snapshots from my M.I.A period.

"Happy Water Dragon (Ren Chen) year"  lets ride the dragon in the rain.

 

Red Velvet cake (supposedly beetroot inside)

Classic Apple Pie

The freshly revived staircase to bring the flow of the new year's chi smoothly to the next floor.

Colour blocking of Casablanca Yellow and Heirloom Pink (thanks to Mr. Dulux).

My sanctuary wall.  Every guests has been told to sit at the corner and enjoy my "cloud".  LOL.  

Home Schooling Bloopers "Chasing Game"

Sometimes the funniest thing takes a while to sink in for adults.  For her, it's just part of her brain and how it functions.
Can't help it, but to add something, this Brainquest book is soooo boring!

Take your time, we won't think you're weird if you don't get it, hehehe.

It started when the cat was napping....

 When a dog appears, and there's a girl and a boy, a chasing is inevitable...

 Wow wee...

 Afterwards, the dog gets the girl, resting and I, hmm got told off by mom....New Year's Resolution successfully broken.

Connector Pens

The "Finger Printing Art Book" came with 2 'Connector Pens".  Since she is obsessed with collecting things, she bought the whole set of connector pens.

A pair of "mer-people"

 Make (aka Macke)-over for PPG

 The longest drawings ever: "Fashion Shop", cut up into 3 bits because I have no wide lense camera.

"Ding Dong", mommy won't accept picture without words in it...

Finger Prints

We love this Faber Castell "Finger Prints Art Book".  It develops a lot of the soft motoric skills needed for little kidlets.

A long way to go but gotta start somewhere.

From here...

To this:

All the different kinds of dancing she wants to do...

Stuffed kitten

Girls...

Book Project

While the year has just changed, we feel that we've already worked through half way 2012.  Definitely the result of X'Mas and New Year's day falling on a Sunday.  Tiring indeed but planning to reward ourselves is a holiday in itself.

As a result, I had to be extra creative in recalling the exciting this that we can do indoor while I'm still working (yes, working through the festive season!).  I was reminded of a little book making project that the school had for their holiday program.  So we tried to make our own.  Here it is.
