Chinese Christmas Stocking Ornaments

Last week, it was our last Lichfield Mandarin Club lesson of the year and it was my turn again to take the class on crafts. Besides doing crafts, I also incorporated learning to read and write Chinese characters in the lesson. Last year, we had to cancel the lesson due to heavy snow and I decided to re-use the lesson plan that I had in mind.

Tiger Tribe Review

This week, we are getting crafty with two Tiger Tribe craft sets: 3D colouring set (Sci-Fi) and stained glass set (Sunbeam Dreams). Before I show you these two fun craft sets from Australia, first let me introduce the brand Tiger Tribe to you.

Tiger Tribe was started in 2007 in Australia with the vision to design children’s gifts and toys that were creative, engaging and affordable. They wanted to create products that children would play with, that tapped into a child’s imagination and sense of fun. They design compact and portable activity sets that are ideal for café play and travel. Now they are expanding their products in the UK and are available to buy from good stores and Amazon.

Dumpling Craft for Dragon Boat Festival

It was the Dragon Boat Festival again, which is also known as the Duanwu Festival. This year it fell on the 18th June 2018 which is the 5th day of the 5th month of the traditional lunar calendar.

As some of you may remember, I help run Lichfield Mandarin Club which started six years ago and we often do arts and crafts with the children, especially with themes based on Chinese festivals. So this school term, one of the mummies Ailin organized some party games for the children.

Happy Mail for Kids

Why should kids send happy mail..?

…why not?

Everyone loves receiving happy mail!

It’s wonderful for kids to be able to send happiness to their friends and family. Happy mail encourages creativity. It’s a super fun way to practice reading and writing outside of school, especially over the Summer holidays.

And the more happy mail you send, the more you receive!

Creativity with Simbrix

What is Simbrix? Simbrix is a connective and constructive play craft that connect together and form strong holds. It is essentially a cross between perler beads and LEGO. It is even scatter-proof during play but easy to take apart and reuse whenever you want! It can be ironed too, just like Hama Beads so you can make your creations permanent. Or you can reuse it again!

Christmas Tree Wrapping for Gift

Today, I would like to share this Christmas tree wrapping idea for your gifts. I remember when I used to live in Singapore, every year at Christmas time, most shopping malls in Singapore offer a wrapping service. They mostly used origami wrapping ideas to wrap up presents. Not only do they look pretty, they are unique and makes the gift stand out.
