“We do not teach drawing by drawing, but by providing the opportunity to prepare the instruments of expression. This I consider to be a real aid to free drawing, which not being dreadful and incomprehensible, encourages child to continue.”

1. Crayon & Pensil Warna
STABILO Woody 3-in-1

Jumbo crayon & pensil warna sesuai untuk bawah 2 tahun. Ramai yang guna beeswax based crayon sebab anti-toksin. Stabilo tu cam mahal tapi kira 3 in 1lah. Beli apa pun ikut bajet pun OK, make sure anti-toxin dan warnanya mudah nampak dan terang bila scribble atas kertas.
2. Stamping
Nature Stamp
Guna bahan-bahan semulajadi untuk dijadikan stamp

DIY Stamp
Paling mudah buat beli foam shapes di kedai-kedai stationaries atau kedai-kedai craft, gluekan ke blok-blok yang ada dan walla!

3. Berus Lukis
4. Clay
Saya tak familiar dengan penggunaan clay tetapi Michael Olaf cadangkan guna Plastalina Clay sebab ianya adalah oil based clay. Maybe ada something similar here dan boleh recommend yang mana korang guna sesuai untuk toddler. Biasa di rumah untuk fungsi ‘modelling’ yang sama biasa buat homemade playdough.
Sini boleh baca perbandingan antara penggunaan Modeling Clay vs. Play Doh.
5. Gunting
Boleh baca sequence menggunting di sini.
6. Kertas
Koyakkan kertas ni saya suka guna pelbagai jenis kertas. Kertas tisu pelbagai warna, kertas origami, kertas kirigami sebab coraknya cantik-cantik (beli di Daiso), surat khabar, kertas majalah. Yang mana kertas-kertas yang dah dikoyak ni boleh diguna semula untuk kerja menampal!
Dah kumpulkan semua bahan-bahan ni, bolehlah letak dalam bekas masing-masing yang sesuai dan di letakkan di tempat yang senang untuk mereka ambil sendiri.
Kami punya simpan macam ni.

Untuk yang tak pandai dalam art macam saya ni, aktiviti di Teach Beside Me ni yang senang dan boleh dibuat dengan Hana (4y) dan Haris (8y). Gabungan oil pastel dan watercolor. Boleh terus buat dan cepat siap! Kertas A3 tu lipat 2 memanjang. Lepas tu lipat tiga, dapat bentuk segi empat. Saya gunting sebab nak buat sama-sama dengan Hana sambil demo pada Hana macamana nak buat. Tunjuk dulu pada Hana gambar yang Kandinsky lukis.
Tapi tak cerita pun siapa Kandinsky, cuma just beritahu kita buat macam ni nak? Huhu. Ada juga rancang untuk kenalkan artis-artis. Dalam kepala ni banyak ha plan macam-macam nak buat. Tapi masaaaaaaaaaa

Hana 21 Bulan
Art
Inspired by: Let’s Explore Art Materials by PinkStripeySocks
Haris was not very thrilled doing it. You know how he actually doesn’t like doing art. Dalam banyak-banyak jenis bahan ditulis, dia paling suka paper towel. Hanya sebab lepas tu, I told him to try and drop some water on it. The water spread!
Hana minat dalam apa sahaja. Especially scribbles so made one for her as well. I just love seeing her concentration look. 
And then he asked to do the water paper alone.
Details can be read here: Paper Towel Art by Happy Hooligans
Science & Technology
Sambil menunggu nak pergi Solat Jumaat, I suggest we make stop motion video! Read it awhile back at TinkerLab. Brilliant idea! Haris loves watching Lego Stop Motion Video on Youtube. I showed him how to do it first and did it together.

Dan ini yang dia buat sendiri tanpa apa-apa pertolongan.

Making Lego Marble Maze
Nampak idea ni di Pinterest sebelum, dan tunjuk pada Haris dulu the idea. Lepas tu, he makes his own maze, altered here and there. Yang best sebab dia fikir di mana dia nak guli tu lalu dan adjust lego-lego tu ikut kemahuan dia.
