Loving our afternoons

Joaqui is turning 21 mos old already this January , and I am thinking of changing his everyday routine of just playing, as in pure play. I am exposing him now to something new, one step at a time though. Since Monday (yesterday), we spend after lunchtime doing some arts. Just the simple ones. I bought washable markers at National Bookstore last Sunday at The Podium to save our bedsheets and his clothes , even our floor. Here's what we had.. Sorry, I dont have pics of our first day.. Hehehe

Day 1 : Fun with Markers

** Gave him 2 sheets of Bond paper and asked him to choose a washable marker. He got the blue one at first. I let him say the name of the color too, for familiarization purposes. Hehehe :) Just let him doodle and sometimes I would hold his hand and we draw his favorite shapes/things together like stars, ball, fish etc.. Second color he had was yellow, his choice too. He is not into colors yet, so it helps this way, he keeps on saying yellow na.. so al i have to do is familiarize him more. One color at a time as they always say.

Day 2 : Fun with Crayons

** We have some 2008 calendars from Fortune Tobacco , which unfortunatley can't be posted in our house. So I recycled it na lang, used the back side for drawing!!! LOL! Posted it on our wall, and we used crayons this time. I always have a wet hand towel during arts time, hehehe. We used the crayola My First Crayons that I bought from last year pa. He had so much fun again!! keeps on shouting Draw! draw! Draw! while jumping. oh his simple joys. He loves red for today! Nyehehe!

Nothing formal for now.. just for exposure incorporated with fun and playtime.. I also tell him that he can only draw on papers and draw boards.. i show him the walls and floor that 's obviously out of his art territory! LOL!








He sure had fun! Next week, we'll be having cut outs of shapes !!
