All About Your Child

Do you think your kids will like this?

Get a square piece of paper, white on one side, red on the other side. You can choose to colour the other side red if you could only find a white piece of paper.

Fold half upwards.

Fold half sideways.

Fold some part of the top edge.

Roll up the edge.

Fold up the bottom edge. Leaving a slight or no gap between the rolled-up and the edge.

Fold the top right corner as shown.

Do the same for the left side.

Fold down the edge as shown. Leaving a 1-2 finger gap between the rolled-up and the fold-down.

Turn over.

Fold back as shown for the right side.

Now do the same as shown for the left side.

Fold as shown for the left and the right side.

Now fold the bottom as shown for the left side.

Fold the same way for the right side.

Ta-da! You did it!

Now just add in the bushy eyebrows, the eyes, the red nose and the buttons. There you have it! Your Kids’ very own Santa Claus!

….and so I did what I promised last week.

The Christmas Tree was proudly brought to you by Keatkeat, showing you his brillant smile and Binbin, who is missing in the picture because he was throwing a tantrum on the floor, the typical 2-year-old…..

My boys did all the decorations, with a little help from the adults of cos.

From the cotton wool for the pretend snow, to the candy bars, the lights, the mini presents and the little santa animals at the bottom of the tree, they enjoyed every moment of it.

Afterall it is their first Christmas Tree. So often we see kids lose interest in the things they do, when they do it often. Let’s hope they will never lose the joy that Christmas brings, other than the fact that they will have lots of presents from everyone.

Have you put up your Christmas Tree yet? Its less than 2 weeks away only.
