During Christmas Day, we often see people wearing christmas hats and illumine sticks, which are then bent to form bracelets. My kids are always crazy over these. I hardly buy for them except for party-time.

It was their lucky day today when Allan’s friend gave a tube of 50 sticks to them. They were so ‘high’, they bent ALL THE 50 STICKS to ‘activate’ the lights.

Usually they would just bend 1 stick to form a bracelet or at most, join 3 or 4 of the sticks together to form a necklace.

But not for tonight, Keatkeat’s creativity cells were at work. He made this for me! NO ONE taught him how to do it, NO instructions or whatsoever to show him how to do it. He just did it out of his own creativity! I was amazed and very touched! *sigh* you know, mommies are like that all the time…..*wink*

they are not in the picture, ‘cos they were busy at work with the rest of the sticks.

When kids are having fun, its the time when kids’ creative mind is at work. Have your child ever made something for you out of his or her own imagination?
