I've been doing stickers, stamps, threading with the little gal for quite some time. And i thought, she may juz be ready to do some "messy stuff".
So, despite everyone's objection < the dad n mil>, i bought her a playdoh starter set. OO....the little gal loves it. Me too!! :) Ter said that i enjoy it more than her!! haha.

Anyway, i thought i wanted to start on some painting with her. Guess what i found. If u tink painting is boring, check tis out:

Anyway, for a starter, i guess i will juz start off with yoghurt painting with cucumbers. After all, if the little gal decides to eat her yoghurt paint off her cucumber brush, at least it won't be too diastrous.

Been reading up on websites for activities for toddlers, i tot kielli may be ready for more structured teaching.

Much stuff going thru my mind. There's juz too many teaching methodologies and i juz need time to reallie tink wat is most compatible with little elly's character, learning style etc. She has very short attention span, so activities have to be real short n FUN. Hopefully, i have time to conceptualise my thoughts and put them into action. challenging. I wanna do a mix of everything-arts, maths, fun etc!! I mean, isn';t learning supposed to be fun!

On another hand, i am constantly reminded ( by hubby) that spiritual training should be part of the curriculum. Indeed, as she learns about this world, may she learn about the attributes of our almighty God who creates the wonders of this world.

She will be who God wants her to be. And she shall be most beautiful in the eyes of God. My bautiful princess. God's wonderful daughter.
