u can oso consider getting the chubby crayons from elc..non toxic n washable...i always look out for these 2 things when i buy any art materials for her...
joyfulmum
no, i'm not, i think the mummy who works in Montessori is Aileen aka Mrs Chng...or is there someone else in this thread too?
spicegal, cutiezayn & angeline
i was initially afraid to let N try painting at home too cos scared of the mess n worried that she will eat etc but after seeing my fren's 5 year old daughter n how she loves artwork, i decided to follow wat my fren did n try to give N time to do art...my fren's girl is v active, running ard everywhere type but the only 2 things that can get her sitting down quietly n concentrating is when she's being read to & doing artwork...she will ignore all other noise or kids playing n concentrate on her masterpiece...amazing! Of course, i must say if u have a helper to clean up the mess after the paint session, things r definitely xxx times easier...so those mummies wif helpers, go full steam ahead! hahah
re fox clothes
yes, i oso feel their sizing is so so small...i usually wun buy their zipped shorts as she outgrows them so fast! so wasted...
michele
yes, i'm always wif her when she does any painting, crayons or stickers...lest i turn ard n she ends up wif a bloody mouth (red paint or melted crayons!) haha...stickers cos i dun wan her pasting anywhere else but the paper or sticker album. I will always redirect her to draw or stick in the appropriate place so far so good...

Fi, let me know if you are helping other mummies get the Joirubi aloe vera, interested to get 2 to try out. Thanks! I also let Jerica play with a bit of food in her own bowl during feeding time. Then feed her the actual thing when she is engrossed with playing the food.
Cheri, aiyoh, butterfly and mouse...haha so cute!!

Good morning!
Angeline,
The tables and chairs at Ikea looks good. Love the bright colours. Gabby is still using her lil' table and chairs her daddy bought from neighbourhood shop. But it seems like she will outgrow it soon. Keke...
Fi,
Contract to fill in temporary work demand of this company. Just a short term one for about 4 months.
Cheri,
So, it is Mrs. Chng. Haven't seen her her for a while. Your gal is very cute with face paints on..keke.

renovation
Has anyone experienced a lift upgrading before? Why does it take as long as 3 years? And because of it we are thinking of a renovation. Is it advisable to do one before or during the upgrade? Need to add aircond to the living room...else can't imagine the dust and noise! I am beginning to wonder how we (or my parents and G) can last through the whole noisy/messy period. Any local website to see/compare contractors? Any websites to see nice home decor/renovation stuff?
Any advice, all welcome! TIA, all!

fi,
i am using the Joirubi Aloe Vera too..It cost about $19 at watsons. Wil be glad to join in if you are helping us to get it direct.
Joyfulmum,
my mum house ( where xavier is at for the day time) is under going liftupgrading). They also told us that it need about 2-3 years to complete. Actually, the time frame is for the whole estate. If your blk is the 1st one to be started on, then not so long lah. And also i think HDB gave allowance in case the contractor go bust.
The hecking of the wall time is very very noisy and DUSTY. I had to call the contractor in charge and get their schedule of hecking and them move my mum and son back to my house for that few days. After that, the noise is bearable but the DUST is still unbearable! Sigh...
It been 3 mths since they started work and i can see that they have done 2 levels of the new lift shaft already. Hope they can complete before CNY for our blk, else it will be a DUSTY CNY for us..spring cleaning will be a big headache.

MTDT and anyone else interested,
the non-spill paint pots that Z was using at Busybuddies pic... can get similar from Artfriend Bras Basah, very cheap compared to Alextoys. Cheaper than at the little art shop next to Kids Pictures at Forum basement. But I forgot how much, cos I bought mine already.

just don't tell me one is paint the other is finger paint hor 
sunflower, PMed already leh, maybe forum lag, but number unchanged, thanks! Will bring Irv this Sat, and let HB handle Ahgirl for her classes!
DOTPAINT- I have a brandless set *given* to me, so I think generic aren't expensive. If particular, like what Sunflower said, just dump contents and replace with desired.
Finger paint consistency is thicker, less runny, so that easier to, err, finger paint . I usually buy finger paint and then add water if putting in non-spill pots. My non-spill pots are from the little craft store next to Kids Pictures at Forum basement... it comes with a STOPPER, so I usually stopper it SECURELY and run the whole pot under the tap to wash the outsides.
Later I post pic... then u will understand why must WASH OUTSIDE of the pot, LOL. The stopper prevents too much water from going inside the pot, and u can save the paint in it for next use!

pawprint,
thanks for answer muacks...
the crayola finger paint I got is gluey texture which is different from what JG used.
The artfriend selling also got stopper? urm so the paint won't dry up if store in the pot?
I usually use wet cloth to wipe the outside of bottles cos washable so very easy to wipe off.
Do you know any other brands that carries washable paints besides crayola.
will sms you later
cutiezayn,
not sure if popular sells Crayola.
I got from JL and IMM kiddy palace.

joyfulmom,
actually you can get those washable paints from Crayola for G to paint with her paintbrush. As non toxi and washable so no worries, sure can use and very easy to clean up.
once my boy painted my floor, door & wall with his paint, easily wipe off with wet cloth.

Sharing this, can get the kid to lie down on mahjong paper and u draw outline. Both parent and child can paint in details together after that. If particularly educational, can even add words to body parts- eyes, nose etc.
We did this in one of Ahgirl's classes.
Below Inspired by CHERI.. hehe, if I dun hav helper, I will think a million times before doing so!
I find Ahboy not interested in "painting" per se, he will stick the paintbrush into the pot to get the paint out, then squish the paintbrush bristles between his hands. He's more "tactile", enjoys squishing paint between his fingers, rather than APPLYING paint onto paper. He was also more keen to stack up the pots...
Probably personality, cos same thing with self-feeding, he prefers to squish his fingers into his porridge than to hold the spoon. More tactile lor (am consoling myself, hahaha). At this age, I will not be letting him use my wall-mounted Alextoy easel... cos I can bet he will paint the whole wall, LOL!
Ivy,
So it depends on which flat starts first. What I am worry is, they will hack all the flats in the estate in one go and will fix them one by one..in batch. So if mine is hack first, it will be left there for the longest time before everything is patched up.
I guess it is sensible to say that renovation should start after the major hacking job is done? Else what if reno done but start to have cracks because of all the hacking? But the dust...how? We need to instal air cond....and thought could do the reno together, in one package....

Washable paints- I'm interested to know which is the most pocket-friendly in price, in maybe those big bottle sizes. But not mega-big like art schools lah, hehe. Am outta paints!
Sunflower, I thought I saw a cover at the paintbrush hole. I din check carefully cos I was like, "drats, so cheap but I have already!". Some covers are not STOPPER type, but turning-flap type. Stopper type more airtight... but quite a pain to keep track of where the stopper is (gets lost easily!). Turning-flap type will never get lost, but not airtight!
