Ya...my hyperactive boy has nothing much to do.
Naturally he was pretty bored staying home thoughout the two weeks break.
And I'm unable to take him 'jalan-jalan' as I'm pretty tied up with my other commitments.
Felt guilty..but no choice la. Will try to compensate the lost 'hours' with him some day..!
It's a promise, son !.
He must had grown tired with his story books and computer games.
Therefore, I planned out an interesting game for him.
Quite a fine idea....Ann's creation..hahaha
His cousins came over which created a whole load of noise which drove me up the walls.
This has added much tension to my already tensed mind.
I decided to organise a hands-on activity for them.
It's a simple game....need no money nor much preparations.
Afterall, the main objective is to preoccupy the children's time. Allow them to focus their attention on a meaningful educational activity.
I took a huge carton box (big electrical appliances one will be a good one). I used an old TV box. Flatten it. Lay it on the floor. Get someone to be a model (a small size child would be the best).
The model lie motionless......onto the box. Another person will use a marker to draw the outline of the model's body.
Once completed, other features of the body could be drawn @ eyes, mouth...etc.
Then get some water colour or crayons to decorate the picture.
When completed, cut the picture.
Taada....you've got a life-sized paper model.
The kids spent for at least an hour or so indulging in this activity.
Meanwhile.....Yours truly can enjoy a peace of mind during that period. ..hahahaha
Happy Child makes a happy mum !
