NCM Project #10: Crafting Day with My Kids

Today, our kind neighbor and friend, Lia, took us to Lowe's so I can get bags of red mulch for our yard.  Then, I offered to treat her to lunch but Yank Sing (Chinese Resto) was still closed by the time we got out of Lowe's.  So to kill time,  we went to Hobby Lobby.  Like usual, I can never get out of a craft store empty handed.  I bought myself a set of clock parts, lollipop sticks and goody bags.  I wanna be able to make some cake pops again and I want it this time to have the things that I needed.

Ella made an awesome job in finally learning how to count, read and write 1-100 last night.  I thoguht of giving her a break today and just let her do crafting.  Yeah, I know, craft store gives me bad ideas LOLz...  I let my kids picked whatever they want (it was non-stop until I finally said NO!).  We got home, ate lunch, took a long nap and then made some wonderful projects.  I know that my kids mostly done these projects with very little help from me but still I want to enter it as NCM Project #10.  Hope you'll like them!  I think my kids got my art/craft inclination LOLz.... 

This is what's currently in my craft table right now.

Ella made this 3-D foam Castle project with some help from her brother Jack.  I also helped but only with the gluing (white and hot glue) and with sticking those chenille wires.  I noticed how she clearly follows the instructions in the box, how she was very particular with aligning the stickers with the foam and she kept on saying that those flower layers can't be the same colors.  I was so proud of her.  At 6 she already pays so much attention to small details.  Funny though, because at the end she told me that it was a lot work, LOLZ...

She also made this cute little girl using the perlerbeads.  She almost give up on this.  The beads kept on getting out of the pegboard and it was really hard to pick them up.  Told her not to give up and told her that she needs patience if she wants to become a good crafter.  I also showed her a trick on how she could put the beads without messing up what she'd done.  I gave her my Justrite stamp tweezer too (which is not too sharp in the end). She finished it although I was the one to iron it.  It needs ironing to fuse beads.  I also helped her to put a twine on it. She said she would like to make more of this.  She thinks it was a nice addition to our Christmas tree ornaments.

Here's what Jackie made for the day.  It is basically a mosaic project using a colored pop-dots and foam squares.  Boy, the leftover foams were all over my craftroom now...

I'm so proud of my kids.  The efforts they've put in their projects is worth all the money that I spent on these craft kits.  Now, they still bug me to do more projects but unfortunately, I have some deadlines to meet.  

That's it for the night.  Glad I got myself an SD card today.  My posting was delayed because my small camera is not working and somehow it screw-up my SD card too.

Nyt peeps.  Keep on posting your projects.  Remember the more you post that better chances of you to get this yummy GIVEWAYS.  Also, don't forget to join in my BIRTHDAY GIVEAWAYS!
