Our project: Making clay magnets

We bought this box of clay and stuff from Toys R Us last weekend, and Victoria was very excited about starting this "project." (We term anything special our "project" eg putting photos into photoframes, making play dough, art and craft work, etc) She kept pestering me to open the box and start on the project together, but I had to explain that this takes a long time and we will have to find a free day to do this(well, this is my first time too, y'know).

So last Tuesday, we had the opportunity to make clay magnets. Quite simple, but I didn't allow her to touch the clay powder or mould, coz I just realised the box says this is for children over 5. But it also said, that it's not for children under 3, so I read that when I bought this but not the former. Ahh, what the heck. (What happens to 4yos then?)

Anyway, it was great fun, except for one part when Victoria wanted to paint the tulip clay, but I also wanted that for myself. She said we should share, ya I know, but I just wanted to do this little one by myself... Mummy never had the chance to make and colour clay magnets when I was a child, you know. ; )

She stomped off. Said I was naughty. Took off her red apron. I continued my work as I knew she will be back.

I was right. She came back after she realised that I didn't "pujuk" her back. Haha. She said I was very naughty again, and that she didn't want to talk to me. Really? Hhhmm... I just ignored her and asked her if she wanted to help. Then she forgotten that she was angry at me, and all's well again.

The 2.5hour project ended at 5pm, then we both went for our afternoon nap. We were both tired after so much "hard work"!! Of course, the little one was already having his afternoon siesta!

Victoria, say Cheese!

Victoria the artist hard at work... of course the base of all beautiful work is her favourite colour BLUE!

Nice artwork. I'm trying to guess who did what, and what's the story with the blackened butterfly? Looks like it spent too much time out in the sun. :)

Julian: She did all of those, except for the tulip coz I "bullied" her into allowing me do it. I touched up the bird, the ladybug and the other flower, while Kakak touched up the other "live-lier" butterfly. The blackened butterfly... well, I was too tired, so I guess that's the moth then!

Joeyz: All great ppl like blue... maybe I should change my fav to blue instead of pink... hhmm.
