Children's Handiwork

Very interesting things are 'made' while the kids are at play.

Joash always pretends to make ice-cream for everyone to eat. He uses the balls or the hemispheres of the nested globe to act as the scoop of ice-cream which he then places on the mini cups we bought from IKEA. Not that I allow him to eat such things though. I usually don't let him eat chocolate, sweets or ice-cream except on one occasion when we gave him the permission to try a scoop of ice-cream of his choice at Swensen's since he loved playing at it so much. However, he was instantly attracted to the vibrant purple colour and picked the yam flavour. He didn't quite like it in the end! LOL

The fake vanilla ice-cream

The made-up blueberry ice-cream?

As for Jayna, she picked up things pretty quickly if she weren't too lazy to do it. Despite not intentionally teaching her how to stack the donuts, she did this all by herself within seconds. Not the most accurate but it was an admirable attempt.

Tada!

She has a very strong sense of what belongs together too. This is the family of Doremon characters which she has been migrating from one surface to another. She'll pain-stakingly arrange them nicely and then do it all over again at another spot. She sure understands that family needs to travel together. Hahaha... Seriously, no one taught her that explicitly.

Caught her in action.

She's also quite proficient at scribbling, I must say. This is one of her handiwork and it happens to look like a cross on the rocky terrain. It's totally my favorite. What a surprising reminder to me about the sacrificial work that Christ had done to earn my salvation amidst my mundane life as a homemaker and God used my daughter to do it! Praise God for His marvelous ways!

Can you see what I saw?
