Recent creations

A quick post today to show you two recent products from Ryan's factory.

This is Ryan's latest artwork, made with Do-a-Dot markers. I like how he layered the darker colours over the lighter ones. For example, you can see the brown bits on the left have specks of green on them and the pink bits in the middle have dark green bits on them.


Next is Ryan's little cardboard train, which is made up of four lacing cards. He laced the cards by himself and I helped to set up the train. Interestingly, when threading the laces, he would usually select the hole that was farther away, instead of following the line of holes. We bought this set from Popular Bookstore (the box is behind the train).


Hope you're having a great weekend!

A necklace for daddy

We spent the whole of today out and about.  We left the house at about 9.30 am for swimming class, had lunch at Vivocity, had Shichida class, went to Paragon for some shopping and for dinner and got home close to 9 pm.

Bought a ton of stuff, mostly for Ryan. That's the way it is nowadays, I guess. Mostly books, a few games, some materials for art and craft work.

One of the things we bought was a set of plastic beads which can be used for counting, sorting, threading or sequencing/patterning. When we got home, and during Ryan's playtime, Richard opened the box and placed it in front of Ryan. Without prompting, Ryan picked up a bead and the string and started threading. Check out the video!


Check out his focus and concentration - he never looked up and just kept on going and going until he finished by which time he had almost 30 beads on that string! His fine motor skills are also pretty amazing don't you think?

When he was done, we joined the ends of the string to form a necklace and he gave it to Richard. Richard put it on and Ryan looked at it and said, "Nice!"
