Just a survey for parents.
If you were to wear your kids, which color would you choose for your baby’s bottom (be it pants, skirt, cloth diaper). Do you normally prefer vibrant color or soft pastel?
Can you help me to choose 5 colors from the color chart above (one color from each shades is preferred).

The year end is coming and it is reaching into the 8th month since I voluntary run this playgroup in Sg.Long Buddhist society. Initially when I was offered to give this a try, there was so much doubt that came to my mind such as:
What if I can’t handle the group
What if [...]
Craft: Muffin in a Boat by Kelly
See the children anxiously waiting for their craft materials? It is not easy to have the children trained to wait patiently. To me, obviously there is a great help if a child has a chance to join a playgroup.
This week, Kelly prepare some cut out boat template [...]
On Sunday, my mum wanted me to go to a temple in Jonker Street (a very famous Melaka historical street). We then passed by a shops displaying full of the traditional Chinese Clogs, nicely crafted wooden-soled shoe. In the olden days, people love to wear this in their kitchen. I still remember wearing them whenever [...]
I found some new educational toys for our Saturday playgroup yesterday. One of it is the stitching board. A pack comes with 3 quality plastic boards (giraffe, hipo and elephant) and 3 sets of thick colorful threads only costs me about $20 (about $6 for each). You can get it here. I have been wanted [...]
Storage has been a problem with our playgroup. In our center, we already have one room, also the office for all our books and toys storage. Currently our toys are all squeezed into huge carton box.

***ALL FOR FREE***
Do you believe in getting free money or free stuffs? I do. There is once I attended a two hour interview survey on my baby milk powder and I got eighty bucks for it. A fun two hour discussion to get eighty bucks is a lot of money for SAHM like me. Hey, [...]
*so deeply into concentration*
While I was blog hopping yesterday nite, I found something to do for Qiqi this morning from this fabulous site. We had just finished with the a piece of simple art (something good to distract her from “lau kai” upon waking up) before sending her to the nanny. Since I got [...]
We did something really nice in this session. Since we expected the attendance would be quite low, Mummy Cheng Sim suggested that we do something messy this time, and instead of having craft, we did food painting. See how to do.
To add to the excitement of this session, Mummy Vignes, who was supposed to do [...]
Yesterday we had to wake up early (haha, only once in a week) to attend this playgroup in PJ. It was a bit drizzling in the morning, and the weather was quite cooling, so Qiqi refuse to change out from her Barney pyjamas. In fact when we were there, a little gal was asking me [...]

I always love finding ideas to kids craft. Partly is because I had to do it for my gal’s playgroup, and also some extra ideas here in my other blog to standby, just in case anyone on duty from my playgroup need them. So far, ideas contributed from other mums are even more sopthisticated and [...]
