Ice Painting with the Kids
by Cheryl Golangco on Aug 28th, 2011
When doing art with kids, one thing we need to remember is that the LESS structured it is, the MORE their creativity shines! As Teacher Tom once said, "It is not our job to be creative, it's the kid's" This line stuck with me and I always remember this when doing an art activity with the kids. - Last year, I came across this ICE PAINTING activity while browsing some blogs. There were several blogs with this activity and I felt really curi...Read More » Tags

Miles for Smiles: Run for Cleft Care 2011
by Cheryl Golangco on Aug 24th, 2011
Life is beautiful. Amidst all the stress or problems that come by, I can still smile and say that life is beautiful. For most of us, it takes the least amount of effort to turn our frowns upside down and show off our beautiful smiles. But for others, it takes a team of doctors and a lot of caring people to help give them the smile they deserve. Before I decided to read more about it, I thought that having a cleft lip was just a physi...Read More » Tags

Run and Help – For the Cancer Warriors Foundation
by Cheryl Golangco on Aug 22nd, 2011
Cancer... what exactly is it? We hear the term several times, we know it is a deadly and life-threatening sickness and we might even know a person or two with the sickness, but do we really understand it? - What causes cancer? "Cancer is ultimately the result of cells that uncontrollably grow and do not die. Normal cells in the body follow an orderly path of growth, division, and death. Programmed cell death is called apoptosis, and when...Read More » Tags

Magical Circles with Crayon Rubbings
by Cheryl Golangco on Aug 15th, 2011
Kids love magic, and the fun thing about teaching toddlers is that you DON'T need to know the difficult tricks 'coz it's easy to get things pass them. Now with art, there are also TONS of magic tricks you can do with the kids. A lot of which they can do by themselves! - One favorite is the CRAYON RESIST activity. We did this a year ago and the kids were totally amazed! We drew a boy/girl using a white crayon without the kids knowledge an...Read More » Tags

Lacing Red Apples
by Cheryl Golangco on Aug 12th, 2011
Lacing is a very difficult task to do, especially for the little ones. No matter how many times you explain it to them, they still have difficulty understanding the concept. But that's okay, because at their age, it's their EAGERNESS TO LEARN that'll get them far! At first, the kids feel frustrated with lacing activities. Because they can't understand it, they refuse to continue doing it. But eventually, they get the small idea that all you ne...Read More » Tags

ANCOP Global Walk: Changing the World ONE Child at a Time!
by Cheryl Golangco on Aug 7th, 2011
Before anything else, what exactly is ANCOP? The acronym actually stands for "Answering the Cry of the Poor". Just that itself already caught my attention. The number of homeless people and poverty stricken areas in our country is not going down, in fact, the number just keeps rising every year. Be the change you want to see. We have NO RIGHT to keep complaining over our country's situation if we aren't doing our part in helping out. - To f...Read More » Tags

Stylish Newspaper Hat for the Kids
by Cheryl Golangco on Aug 7th, 2011
While trying to come up with another craft activity, I remembered how the kids loved wearing all those funny and silly hats. We wanted them to make their own and tried to come up with a simple way to make one. We already tried paper folding (the one that can also be made into a boat) and eventually came up with this. - What you will need: Newspaper Tape Glue Cut outs or craft punch (for decorations) - What to do: Step 1: ...Read More » Tags

Finger Paint Cherry Tree Pop Art
by Cheryl Golangco on Aug 3rd, 2011
Another school year just started for us and we wanted to introduce paint to the kids by starting with the finger paint. I have had experience with kids in the past that cried when we tried to make them paint with their hands! They just didn't like the idea of getting their hands dirty! So finger painting is actually a small step for the child to slowly understand that it's okay to get some paint on their hands. Besides finger painting, we were...Read More » Tags
