art and craft activity : the beginning

Its been a while since I upload all the pictures for this entry...

Banyak penangguhan sehinggalah hari ini bertekad nak habiskan jgak entry ini...

Since its about 2,3 months pending entry..it must be a long long entry...

But I will try to cut it short..as usual..but with more pictures included..

Back to the title..sakan kan bunyinye..

Dah lama I plan utk exposed Adam to art and crafting activity..

Cuma yelah masa and age dia maybe tak sesuai on that time..

After many survey and blog reading ..

Sgt excited and nekad dihati nak jugak introduce to Adam..

From the reading I made..

Many experts said we can start to introduce our children to art activity since age of 17months..

*duhh terlepas lagik!!

Whats good about art and craft..its actually helps our child to improve their motor skill as well as the hand-eye coordination..

So most probably bila I tgk Adam dah starts to hold crayon/pen well..

Its a time for us to give him to play with all arts activities...

But for crafting..lebih pada pakai glue, paper and scissors tu..

Soon after Adam 3yrs old baru boleh introduce..

Plus..with art and crafting ..toddler can express their emotions and creativity through this activity..

Bolehlah kita tgk mcm diorang berimaginasi..

Tell you what..mommy Adam ni mmg tangan keras k!

Sports mmg boleh..bila bab art2 ni..mmg fail..

So dari kecik la nk kena trained Adam ni..

*betol tak papa ;)

Adam starts to have intrest in conteng2 ni using his papa's laptop..

kat paint tu dia conteng..mujur tak patah pen papa tu ;)

to replace this..

Then Adam starts to play with non-toxic crayon che mimi kasik ;)

Adam mmg sgt happy bila jumpa crayon and paper...

conteng2 lah keje nye..

Last month we decided to buy him the scribbler..

excited jgak at the beginning..

lama2 Adam more intrested on the mechanical part..

asyik duk tolak nak erase tulisan tu..

maybe sb takde color kan..

After a while..

Scribbler tu kadang2 aje Adam sentuh..

Until the day I told u all yg mothercare got sale..

and finally I got something that I had eyed on for quite a long time...

jeng jeng jeng....

Ini lah dia...

the art centre ;)

ada whiteboard , blackboard and tmpt nak clip paper for painting..

with the disc almost 60%..mmg puas hati babe!

and the bits and basics stuff..

Clockwise : the art starter kits, easy painters and chubby markers..

Starter kits with sponge stamper, roller, paints, brush and splash mats- complete sets!

and now..Its time for art activity...

owh..ini dia hero mommy..

an artsit in the making..

*apron Ikea aje..save duit!

"kawan2..kita check dulu peralatan cukup tak!"..

Mixing the paints and lets play!

Teach him about the colors too..

Jangan lupa mesti mahu alas..

Splash mat or suratkhabar lama pun boleh..

Conteng2 time...

Gaya Adam ala artist tak usah cakap!

Marvellous..;)

Adam's hand print

Adam seems to enjoy this activity so much..

*owh dia sngt tak suka papa conteng tangan dia..keep saying...eeee...eeeee...."

Even as the beginning we just let him to play with paint and brush..

conteng2 aje..

Soon bila dah lama2 maybe we can start to draw and paint together...

It s a good activity on weekend too..

*kalau ayahchik dah dtg ShahAlam..mommy akan hire architect semi tauliah utk jadik art teacher Adam...hooray!!

A lil bit messy thats why its is encourage to play it outside our house..;)

InsyaAllah..plannye mommy nak keep updating Adam's progress in art and crafting...

Thru good ideas from u all...maybe boleh tambah activity to play during art and craft session ni..:)

p/s: I have one extra toy that I bought during the sale at mothercare..the elc toy..

which I plan to share with one of my lucky mommies and readers ...should I call it as a giveaway??

we'll see ;) hehehehehe

Till then..daaa ;)
