# 8 Butterfly

 Done by myself with my lil' boy

 Done by KY, my lil' nephew with my help

This was done quite some time ago, but I was too busy to post this since I've to relocate. 

So it started with ...one of the Saturday morning, my lil' boy and KY was very free.  I asked them whether they want to do some crafts.  Both of them, age 2+ and 4,  said yes and so we started with this little project.  My lil' boy likes to sing the song of 'Butterfly butterfly happy all day...' from Barney and we decided to make a butterfly!!

Materials are toilet paper roll, color papers, strings and magic color.  That's all you need :)

1) Firstly fold the color paper into half and cut the shape of a butterfly wings (so both wings will be equally same)
2) Still in the folded manner, punch 2 holes so that you may slot in the string later to tie it to the body (toilet rolls)
3) Paste some color paper patterns on top of the wings to beautify it.  (For this, I asked both of them to tear the color paper into pieces and glue them on the wings. 
4) For the butterfly body, just take a white paper and cut out a rectangular shape (measure roughly on the toilet paper roll)
5) Glue the white paper on the toilet paper roll
6) Draw the eyes, nose and mouth
7) Take your string and put through the butterfly wings to tie with the toilet paper roll



Happy crafting!

# 7 Teacher's day card

 Teacher's day is coming soon and so my lil' girl did these cards for her kindergarten teachers.  All was decorated and drawn by her.  I thought of guiding her to do a nicer card, but she want her own way and I let her in charge this time.  Well, it turns out to be quite cute and unexpected with the lil' curly hair girl and ice cream LOL.  Teacher Rosa is her class teacher and she is teaching her English.

As for this card, the Love shape was designed by myself and the rest are by lil' girl.  Of course I did add in some colors on the cartoon girl to look more outstanding.  Teacher Tharini was her class teacher last year.

This was fully done by my lil' girl without my help at all.  My lil' girl is quite mature and have her own thinking.. and want to do her own way.  So this is for her Teacher Ken. He's a handsome guy and of course, married with a baby now :)

# 5 Colourful garland

Colourful garland can be made from colourful papers or even other materials that you can think of. You may even use old magazines, artificial flowers petals, etc. 

What you need is some colourful papers, some straws, a scissors, thread and a needle.  For kids, you may want to replace the needle and thread with raffia strings. 

Fold the piece of paper into half and from this half, fold the paper again as per above top left picture, where you can then draw a love shape on it. With the scissors, cut the love shape out so you can see the flowers pattern.  Cut more flowers pattern out from different colour papers.  Cut the straws roughly 1 inch or depends whether you want more flowers or lesser flowers.  If you want more flowers, then cut the straws shorter. 

Thread a needle and tie a knot at the end of the thread. Then thread one flower pattern with one straw at a time until you get a long string of it.  As for kids using raffia strings, just cut a little hole at the cross line of the flower pattern and then with the raffia strings just put it through and do the same thing as what we do with the thread.

 

Here it is, the beautiful colourful garland and it's great for a party!
