Birthday Party Fun- Cookie Decorating

Dominique Parenting and Kids, Thoughts wordless/wordful wednesday

At the birthday party we attended on the weekend the boys got to try out decorating cookies. Both of them had a go and you can see their creations below.

These were done by Monkey Boy

Doggie boy’s creations.

You can see that Monkey boy is now much better in art and actually creates pictures with the icing given for decoration. I’m glad that we skipped the idea of sending the boys for any Art Enrichment classes as clearly it is not their most passionate area.

The rest of the time at the party the kids were glued on to the games on the IPADs which were brought along by the kids of the other party guest. I guess these mobile devices really work well as “temporary babysitters” while the adults spend time to catch up with each other.

What do your kids normally do at a birthday party?

Tiger Girl- My Little Artist

Dominique Parenting and Kids, Thoughts wordless/wordful wednesday

This week we decided to do something different for our art and craft session.  I took tiger girl outdoors to let her have a first hand at observing nature and learning how to draw flowers. She was very happy to totter around holding her pencil and drawing paper.  She did attempt to draw circles to represent the petals of the flowers. I’m glad that she is showing an interest in art at such a young age and is so eager to learn.

Are your kids into Art and Craft too?
