Bookmark That Thought!

The little one’s down with flu. While she was home with me, we played, rested, studied light and did some Art. Faye requested I came up with an Art lesson for her since she would have missed her Art class in school and at Da Little School House. I decided to work on some home-made bookmarks since we are always in need of them. It was a therapeutic activity and we both loved it a lot! 



Ewan came home, saw what we put together and squealed, “Oh so cute! Can I colour in the hedgehog? And can we make more?” It was just Mr Shadow [my son named him] and his book on the blank sheet of paper at first. After he coloured the hedgehog in, he asked me if I could draw a tree in the background. To make it as though Shadow’s leaning against it to read his book! Sure can do! 

The books all have titles and Faye was the one who named them. 

According to her, the Believer the Beaver needs a guide to lead him to Trees and the Randy the Racoon would probably be interested in Trash Cans cause city racoons now look for food in trash. It was satisfying to put all these together with the kiddos using up-cycled ribbons and paper. 

The son then suggested we started a company called “The Bookmark Makers” so that all of you have access to hand-made bookmarks made by Ewan, Faye and May! 

“We can sell it at $1.50 each! Pay mommy $0.50 and we earn the $1 to fund our trips to Popular bookshop!” He added with excitement sparkling in his eyes. 

They really do love books. 

Faye interrupted in disbelief, “$1.50? So little?” 

“But it doesn’t seem as though it is worth S$2.” Ewan countered, “We use only recycled materials you know? They are not expensive. Or we do like what the shops do to make it look inexpensive but still close to $2. ONE NINETY NINE!” 

The Bookmark Makers *giggles* love it that my big boy is actually digging this! 

Well, looks like we know what we are going to do for Teacher’s Day this year. The kids couldn’t wait and will be gifting one each to their form teachers tomorrow!
