last week, class' artwork was centered on trains. tuesday's artwork looked like a lot of fun! it was noel's day to bring dray to class, and here's what daddy and dray did in class:
train tracks!
after painting the vanguard strip with black glue paint - to resemble tar, i presume - the kids get to stick on colored ice-cream sticks to make the train tracks come together. noel and i have a strict dont-mess-with-dray's-creativity policy (heh), so we refrain as best as possible to correct or move around anything he does during craft.
so yes, his train tracks look nothing like one, hahaa, but at least his creativity is allowed to run free! lol! i've seen children from other classes bringing home these perfect pieces, there is no way they did that, and you know their caregivers or helpers must have lent a hand. adults are reminded often by the teachers to let the children do their craftwork as they wish, but i guess sometimes some of us just can't resist perfection. lol!
anyway, after putting together the train tracks, what they had to do was create a train, by putting a few carriages together! it's a very simple activity, where different colored carriages were glued on folded paper plates, that have been strung together:
so when you put the train and tracks together....
choo choo!! =)
cute right???
thursday's artwork was done at home...kinda like homework, heh, cos we were terribly late for class and missed craft time. so i asked Gerry if i could bring the artwork home and do it together with dray.
the first activity was a pretty simple one, where they had to paste on different parts of the train on a printout:
it's adorable how he knows where each part goes, after a little guidance. here's a video of him doing the activity!
the next artwork, the kids in school get to paint on colors on another train printout using toothbrushes, but back home, we could only make do with crayons. luckily, i had some crayons that i had bought from cotton on kids during one of our visits:
coloring it in
ta-da!
i hope we won't be late for school again tomorrow and miss out on the artwork anymore. that said, i'd better head to bed now! =) i still haven't decided what to wear to class - we're celebrating the color gold, and parent and child have to wear / bring something gold to class this week - so hopefully i can put something together tomorrow morning!
i'll write again tomorrow!
with pictures of us in our golden glory! =)

Cute! I like how he was pasting with his right hand and his other hand holding on to his foot, like a pro (look ma! One hand)
And Mummy, good job to you too! :D
