A CRAFTY AFTERNOON

It was drizzling this afternoon so we just stayed indoor and tried to entertain ourselves by doing some craft projects. Mew loved to help around with some easy cutting, gluing and sticking activities. She also enjoyed colouring very much so we tried to take advantage of her talents in drawing and colouring in making our craft products. Here are our today accomplishments:

A woven heart-shaped basket with handle to fill with all kinds of goodies and may be used to hang on Xmas tree:

A costume show of Kitty: Kitty the Cat may change her clothes from an astronaut to a cowboy, a ballerina and a pirate (using a strip with Kitty's face to slide into costume strip with face circles cut out and move back and forth to change Kitty's costumes):

A 3D pop-up card with Disney princesses (Cinderella, Aurora the Sleeping Beauty and Belle Beauty and the Beast) and a brown painted reindeer. Background is decorated by Mew with dark blue night sky, yellow twinkling stars and greenfield with blooming pink flowers. Two Origami mini cranes folded by myself are attached to the top edge of the card:

 

Mew was proudly presented our work of art:

 

A snapshot of late Easter egg emptied and painted by Mew herself (luckily I took this photo because the egg was accidentally broken tonight):

These are my favorite pictures drawn by Mew based on Disney princess movies: I had to admit that I was completely stunned at her painting works when seeing them the first time. It was difficult to imagine that she could ever draw such beautiful princesses. Mew seemed to be rather good at imitating and copying pictures and characters. These drawing were a copycat of some posters of Disney movies scattering around our home. The first picture include Cinderella, Jasmine and Aurora.

The second picture include Belle, Ariel and Snow White:

Another work of art completely made by Mew herself without any help or guide or instruction of others. I brought home a second-hand craft book and she was excited to use the cut-outs to combine with her own imagination and drawing and colouring to create a lovely finished work of arrangement and decoration. I guess her theme in this picture is Winter season (look at the snowman, Xmas pines and the gingerbread men):

Finally, I cannot resist to share my own work: I discovered this old-forgotten project in a book and thought it was good enough to be proud of myself, lol.
