Lenny.. I had started a simple library for my boy but we do not put it at his level cos he tend to "creatively re-arrange re-deco re-assemble" stuff. but your suggestion of having a library within their reach sounds like a good plan as they are now able to recognise and point out stuff. I bought all the board books as he tend to drool all over them (not nice to do that to library books) and they cost a bomb! one tip is to go to borders whenever they have a promo. looking for the book you want at borders would be a challenge tho. i'm contemplating buying from amazon but too lazy to get down to doing it haha.

One of my boy's fav "My Book of Zoo Animals". He wants that book all the time. I would point out an animal, repeat its name then ask him where it is. He would then point at the animal. We try to add a new animal every other day. He would get some animals right all the time while others depends on his mood (or his luck in pointing haha).

Hey maybe we can all have a zoo outing when our babies reach 18 months and they can see animals up close and personal =D

Queenie.. United Sq is a good place for kiddie stuff. Check out the popular there too. Their selection of kiddle books is good. Maybe will bump into you there cos my boy goes there twice a week

Pseed.. do tell where did you find the beeswax crayons? I am assuming they are non toxic too?

 

[pumpkinseed]

donroxx, they're food grade safe which is definitely non-toxic. Can visit the link I posted earlier for full details on the manufacturer's page. I saw them at Love For Earth at HV Shopping Center L3 but I imagine art friend or art shops may sell it too? LFE will prob give 10% for purchases under my name. I'll ask and get back to you guys tonight. Taking A to Peekaboo now...wheeeeeee

[prosper]

regarding abt the paints, we can do it but not in the clubhouse, will be outside (shade provided) I am afraid that it will be difficult to wash off. Later the guards go after me. hahaa. can bring along lah, then see how it goes...

 

[prosper]

[val1977]

prosper, thks for the direction instruction

aiyo pray hard this sat afternoon will be a good weather, cos almost everyday afternoon it wil rain..then we cant hv our drawing and swimming activities liao

 

[piggysg]

P.seed, I also like to see the crayons. Currently I let my boy use fat pencil to draw on the big calender paper

Will these crayons dirty the hands as he likes to rub his eyes &amp; put fingers to mouth.

 

[piggysg]

Thanks Prosper !

 

[irene06]

Queenie, congrats on your new job. Will sms you if I go United Square.. kekeke..

Misscandy also at United Square?

jtho. gosh.. speedy recover to Oli

oh ya.. some more question on travelling.
- do you let the baby take boiled water from the tap? or buy mineral water and boil?
- stroller, what kinda stroller did you bring? umbrella stroller or those capella, combi kind that can reclined down for them to sleep?

 

[missycandy]

irene - im at ttsh =P

mango, scrumpee - payments received!

 

[jo3309]

Irene, did u buy travel insurance? i would suggest u to buy since u bringing stroller..cos its very easily spoilt by them..then at least u can claim from the insurance...my fren hav this experience..then she report to them tat de stroller very expensive, like $200 they say they bought it at $400, then they will pay u abt $100...

im not the insurance agent by the way..hahah...

 

[sun96]

[gnes]

Pseed,
Trust u to always come up with good lobangs. Anyway, do they sell the normal crayon versions instead of the eraser type? BTW, where did they say 'produced to food industry standard'? Can send me the link?

Have u try it? Does it stain the fingers?

Donroxx..

Hehe.. i resort to ordering the books from kinokuniya.. at this stage they want repetition.. and yes.. not nice to damage library books..

need to sort out her room to accommodate a little bookshelf. i normally give her her cloth books to keep her occupied when i take a shower.

 

[lenny_susanty]

[missycandy]

pseed - cn help me get the block crayons 1 box of 8

 

[pumpkinseed]

Alternative wax crayons from The Better Toy Store which generally sells very good quality toys. Not sure of the materials used and how babysafe compared to the Stockmar ones. Definitely more affordable at $8.90.
http://www.thebettertoystore.com/product_info.php?products_id=1234

 

[pumpkinseed]

Those who want the Stockmar crayons, please call them 64697865 (tomorrow 1pm-7pm) and reserve under your name but tell them I will be picking up on Friday lunchtime on your behalf. Please have cash ready ok? We get 10% discount. I may not have enough exact change. I don't have time to follow this thread tomorrow thanks!
