Bus Themed Craft

My boys are very crazy over transportation, cars, buses, train, etc. So, I did a bus themed craft with them. I printed the template from First School.

What You Need:
Construction Paper
Cut out bus template
Glue

It's so simple, I trace the windows on the bus body to guide them a bit with the pasting. Older kids can do without this. We counted the windows as well. We talked about the parts of the bus when we were crafting.

K, still trying to apply glue though he is done with his craft. 

The boys loved their cousins a lot. They refused to nap and keep asking for their cousin on Sunday. So, we decided to bring them to my mum's place where the cousins gathered. I asked the boys if they would like to give the bus craft to their cousin as a present and they were happy with the idea. I want them to learn the art of giving. They loved this craft they made so much but they were willing to give. Till today, they were still saying, "Gor Gor... bus...". Seems like they were telling me that they gave their bus to their cousin and that's so sweet.

K, in the lift, excited about giving his bus craft to his cousin.

Pipe Cleaner Sirens

What you are seeing is a Mummy's frantic attempt to placate an inconsolable Y whose world was about to crumble when he found that the siren on his police car fell off. We couldn't find the siren that had dropped and Pipe Cleaner was my savior for the day. He even got to choose the color for his siren. But I see trouble when his Van needs a siren, followed by his Dump Truck... his Bus.... I knew this has to stop when I see K pulling out his drawer of cars in excitement. But seeing Y's face brightened is worth it even if I have to install sirens for all their cars. :0

Doodles @ 23 Months Old

Y likes to draw so I have a basket of paper and color pencils available to them. They will pick up the paper and pencils almost everyday to draw. Y drew these when he was 23 months old and I was quite impressed with them, maybe because I'm their Mum. He told me he was drawing the Open Top Bus after we came back from the tour and when he finished and showed me his drawing, I was taken aback that what he drew really looked like one. If you look closely at the top of the bus, it looked like he was trying to draw the railings of the bus. I can only say I'm so proud of these drawings. I just regretted that I provided recycled paper for these doodles.
