WE FIsh!

My latest craze! Felt Fish Fishing!

 I saw this activity while reading a book on Waldorf method and subsequently at other blogs. I was itching to make them for N but finding a ring like magnet here was challenging! Hence it took me only now to make them. But i am pleased!

A school of fish! Obviously, i used felt cloth to make the fish. I sewed on simple patterns on fish. You can also use any left over cloths and buttons/sequins for patterns. As i said, the ring magnets were NOT easy to find here in Singapore. If you're interested, my husband managed to find them at HomeFix @ Marina Square- yeah, not just ANY HomeFix store mind you!

The fishing rod! I used a pair of disposable chopsticks. To prevent splinters, i wrapped it up with masking tape.

Ready to fish!

Pretend play 101

I found new inspiration to pretend play with my sonshine!

This is my latest craze; making felt food! I was surfing for art & craft ideas but stumbled upon felt food tutorials (you can google this phrase and find many free tutorials on how to make).

First up on my menu: Sandwich! I made 2 slices of bread, an egg, 2 slices of tomato (the hardest piece to make!), lettuce. The cheese and ham are no brainer- just cut them in a square shape.

Sandwhich with fries.

M for Mama's fries, anyone?

N & i had nothing but pure fun pretending to make and eat the sandwhich. I asked N to make a variety of sandwhich i.e cheese sandwhich, ham & egg, lettuce. I even taught him what is egg yolk and egg white using my egg felt!

You don't have to be a sewing genius to make this. If you are sharp enough you can tell my workmanship is nothing to die for- its horrendous! The only sewing i know how is cross stich...i hand sewn all the pieces (don't have a sewing machine at home) using what little i know about sewing. But ah! Who cares- we had fun! Its very EASY and fast to make- anyone can do this! The things i do for my son!

Bon appetit!
