She said that there are 2 sides of the paper plate. 1 side curve in, the other side curve out. The paper plates will be used to make craft of owl. Small plate for the head and big plate for the tummy. Paint the small plate brown on the side that curve out. Tot to tear newspaper, glue the side of the big plate that curves out then paste the newspaper tot tored on it. If tot doesn't want a certain color, ask tot to pick newspaper of that color out.
3. Before start working on the craft, parents had to tell the tots what to do then ask tots what to do eg paint on big or small plate? Paint on the side that curves in or curves out? Do you want to paint first or do collage first? Png Png answered all the questions correctly and he wanted to paint first.
Png Png still doesn't know how to tear paper in the correct manner. He pulled the paper apart instead of tearing the paper. Shirley said have to hold the paper with fingers of both hands close to each other in order to tear. Png Png managed to tear int he correct manner a few times after a few tries.

Waiting for mummy
Png Png took part in 2 games - Flag race and step ballons
Excited and ready to go
Step ballons. I was worried of Chen Chen in the step ballon game as Chen Chen is scared of ballons but he seems to outgrow the fear. He merely covered his ears during the game
The toddlers can't burst the ballons. Parents burst the ballons tied to their leg. There was no exception for me
