Make Your Own Fridge Magnet

This was another of our "Holiday Project". It was a gift from my sister, a very lovely gift indeed. We had fun mixing the plaster, pouring it into the mold, adding the magnet (with hubby's help) and when it is done, we painted the sea animals.


The two boys actually did the painting themselves but their end product had been touched up a little. The star fish belongs to my little daughter. She selected the colors herself and with me holding her hand, she had fun painting it.





Now, all these lovely sea creatures are "swimming" on my fridge, making my fridge look more colorful.

Make Your Own Greeting Cards

I have always loved art and craft when I was young. When my children reached the age when they could color and draw, I didn't really see any interest in them but as time passed, they began to like art and craft.
When we knew we were going to stay home this school holiday, I bought this set and had them exercising their right brain a little to create and make some greeting cards.


Here are some of their "creations":


If you look at the color and the elements chosen, you should know whose this card belongs to.





A card for a friend.



Boys would like this.



Go "Green"



Do you like this bouquet of flowers with a heart?



This is nice.



See the word "Pikachu"? My son created this for his "Pokemon".



Daddy and Christmas?


If you like art and craft, this would be fun. Off course, if you are more creative, you can do a lot better with your own choice of paper, glitters, ribbons and colors.
