A ba ta projects for Diha and the boys.

I am really determine in the kids religious study , Quran study and have plan and started the lesson with Diha as well. For starters I made a ba ta flash cards, with abang Uyay help. He loves the cards so much that he started arranging them by order on the flour. Later i made a board and stick them on the wall so Uyay and Harith can keep changing the letter everyday to enhance their recognition with hijaiyah alphabets.

Our DIY a ba ta flash cards.

Uyay at work arranging the fkashcards in order.

Diha! No!! Jangan kacau, uyay struggling to stop Diha from messing his flash cards arrangements.

Yeay!! Happy boy , completing his task , naughty Diha got distracted with more paper collection at the center there. 

Later uyay arrange the letters on the wall.

Diha pon nak baca jugak and goes and sound like aaa ggooo tattattatat

Being able to spend time doing activities with the kids is priceless, precious and so damn rewarding. Such a bliss......Alhamdulillah, haza min fadhli rabbi.

Making my own jewellery

For the consular ckub charity bazaar I chose to wear a kebaya and looking at my plain red jubah kebaya I said oh noo!! To plain lah. So i went to the saigin famous SKL shope which sells all the things you might find to make clothes and their acessories, from material, cloth, beads, zip, clips, buttons, neclace and the lost goes on, its really a heaven to crafter and costume maker. Hoping to get 'kerongsang nyonya' well you know the 3 serangkai kerongsang but hofkos to no avail, where to get a malaysian jewellery here in saigon la. But i found some very interesting piece of beautiful gold colored thin nicely crafted metal , with that, i bought some gold colored chain pins and went home to make my iwn jewellery, awwww!! So ambitious!!

I dont know what they actually manucfactured this stuff for, but there you go the beautiful golden metal, gold chain and pin waiting to be glue gun together.

Its really nice and fine. I love them. They have many designs too.

Tada!! Awesome right??

I made some kerongsang too. 

I am in love with them and so proud of them that I went around using these little cheap beauty hahahhaha dang!!

 

Salt castle

Harith went home early today, and press me to do a craft activity with him, well ok darling!! So we made a salt dough and mould them into a beautiful castle , well at least we think so.

2 cups of flour to a cup of salt, add water till dough become playdoughy like clay and we're ready

Moulding the dough. Uyay as usual will come a bit late to the scene.

We cut the dough into a blocks like shape , which will acts just as blocks does when you build a building.

Ahhh there's my little darling uyay helping his big brother with blockings here they have started making the castle structure as a practice before transfering to baking tray.

On a baking tray they build the castle structure again this time using a mixture of the dough with lotsa water to stick the dough blocks together. Once done we bake it in the oven.

Walllah!!!! Looks yummy!!! But tak bole makan salty and berdaki!!! Hahahahahha

After the castle had cool down they started to paint them, later uyay persuade me to make him flags to put at the castle.

Uyay putting the flags. Later once the paint has dried.

Everytime we succeed completing a craft or science project, i feel so proud and happy seeing my kids happy and proud faces. Sometimes its just too dragging to start a project but once it is well underway, we had such fun doing them together.
