Aksara Reading Rainbow featuring "Kutakatik"

Come to Aksara Reading Rainbow featuring Kutakatik! Thanks to Adinda and Aksara Kemang to give us (me and my sister) the opportunity to have a small art & craft class.

So basicly we'll read them a book, and we'll ask the children to use their creativity and imagination to make something from the book. Isn't it fun? where books and art meet :) 

 And this week's book is one of my favorite chidlren's book, "Lines that Wiggle" by Candace Whitman, illustrated by Steve Wilson. This creative collaboration explores the many different ways that lines are used around us.

Let's do this :)

Medina is trying to make line for horse...

Aila is making lines for monster...

Max is making lines with the monster's eyes and ice cream sticks...

Making lines with the dots ribbons...rainbows and flowers...

Makig lines with ribbons to make rainbow...

The horse's tail can make lines too (just like in the book)...

Making lines to make soccernet...

Bare Necessities :)

This one from The Jungle Book never fails me (ˆ⌣ˆ)

Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
Old Mother Nature's recipes
That brings the bare necessities of life

Wherever I wander, wherever I roam
I couldn't be fonder of my big home
The bees are buzzin' in the tree
To make some honey just for me
When you look under the rocks and plants
And take a glance at the fancy ants
Then maybe try a few

The bare necessities of life will come to you
They'll come to you!

Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
That's why a bear can rest at ease
With just the bare necessities of life

Now when you pick a pawpaw
Or a prickly pear
And you prick a raw paw
Next time beware
Don't pick the prickly pear by the paw
When you pick a pear
Try to use the claw
But you don't need to use the claw
When you pick a pear of the big pawpaw
Have I given you a clue ?

The bare necessities of life will come to you
They'll come to you!

So just try and relax, yeah cool it
Fall apart in my backyard
'Cause let me tell you something little britches
If you act like that bee acts, uh uh
You're working too hard

And don't spend your time lookin' around
For something you want that can't be found
When you find out you can live without it
And go along not thinkin' about it
I'll tell you something true

The bare necessities of life will come to you

"Kutakatik" Art & Craft for kids at The Goods Department

Thank you to Elda and Anton, "Kutakatik" got invited for a showcase at The Goods Department.

 The poster is from Whiteboard Journal

Some of them were sewing...

Some of them were making dolls...

 And some of them just love making cameras :)

It's nice working in a nice shop/store with good food and good music :)  

The Goods Department is located at Plaza Indonesia extension 4th floor. I recommend you the Portobello Mushroom Burger and the Coffee Bailey's Milkshake...oh so nyummy! :p

Mango orange honey popsicle

I just love colors on food...and especially with their natural colors. I made this mango orange honey popsicle, it's nyummy :) It's healthy too and you can have it for your kids too. 

 Easy peasy, all you need...

- 6 cups mangos (diced...)

- 2 cups oranges

- 2 tbsp honey

(everything depends on your taste...you can change how many cups you want to use...)

You just have to blend them all (with a blender of course). Taste it, if it's already perfect for you, then it's ready.

You can drink it as a smoothie, for your morning breakfast perhaps :)

As for the posicles, divide it into the ice-pop molds, put the sticks in. And freeze it until solid 4 - 6 hours (or more).
 And voila...look at those orange sunny color...hmmmm :)

Enjoy :)

Ooow, maybe you can try this strawberry yoghurt ice pops too.

Another DIY camera :)

This is Olivia, she's 4.8 y.o. This is her kind of camera :)

And this is Andy, 4.8 y.o

All I did was helping them with the sellotape. All ideas were from them :)

Simple things that makes me smile ♥
