Holiday Activity for kids

Holiday activity.
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 !
