Guess what we are making?

It’s Ocean week and guess what we are making?

A jellyfish in a bottle!
You only need:
  • Recycled plastic grocery bag
  • Thread or strings
  • Recycled plastic water bottle
  • Water and a few drops of blue food colouring
  • Scissors

And here’s how to do it:

  1. Cut the handles off the plastic bag so that you have a plain square of plastic.
  2. Now tie a section off with the string to make the jellyfish’s head.  
  3. Cut the remainder into strips for the jellyfish’s tentacles.
  4. Push the jellyfish into the empty bottle.
  5. Fill the bottle with water, add a few drops of blue food colouring.
  6. Squeeze the bottle or tip it upside down to make the jellyfish swim up and down inside the bottle.
Easy peasy! It’s science, it’s craft time and it’s fun! Try it! 😉

Look what we did: Having a blast with BOXES!

The theme of the week is “Buildings”. Put away the Lego blocks kids… we are going to build using BOXES! London Bridge, KLCC, KL Tower, Eiffel Tower, you name it, we build it!
And there are a lot of other things to do with boxes, look how much fun we’re having!

Crafty Thursdays

Thursday is art and craft day. It’s the day to let loose and get messy 🙂 Teachers love it, kids love it even more! Just look at some of the beautiful art & craft projects made by our kids this year..

It is alright to get a messy art or crafts. What is more important is the process of doing it, not the outcomes. Art and craft helps the kids to: 
  • Develop fine motor skills
  • Build their imagination
  • Build confidence.. “I can do this!”
  • Release their emotions
  • Express themselves
  • and last but not least..contribute to recycling!
