Art & Craft Series : Shapes Stamping

It's public holiday and since Pearl is going to miss her Arts class due to "meet-the-parent session" tomorrow, I decided to let the gems play with shape stamping today. Most children would have done shape stamping in school using fruits, but I always find it a waste of food. I chanced upon a blog that uses toilets rolls to make different types of shapes for stamping instead.

Here a picture of the five shapes that I made from the toilet rolls which I painfully collected over the month, enough for both gems..



This is a fun and educational session for kids to learn about colours and shapes (although both gems are way too old for that). The gems tried their hands at creating a shape and end up both made oval shapes....hahaha

we are ready....








After the shape stamping, they also did some "creative" finger painting and also explored colour mixing. Pearl appreciated finding out the result of the combinaton of different colours more than Amber. Amber is way too engrossed with the pouring and mixing of the paint but the most important thing of all is......both enjoyed it very much

see our dirty hands



Here's the pictures of their creative art works which were being proudly put up at our Gems' Art Gallery located at the wall of our kitchen
