Kid's Clock and Help Issues

My daughter had to make a clock as an assignment......And we were supposed to do the clock using a cardboard.

My daughter made this.....and I helped her. The clock hands are movable and I hope it helped her teacher while teaching  ......

I didn't want to help her too much in the process of doing this clock and at the same time I wanted it to be simple enough for my daughter to do it on her own....

BTW can anybody advise me when should we stop helping our kids...

She is 7 years old . I wnt to know how much should we interfere and what are the limitations?

I am scared that if I help her too much she will become too much dependant on me.....on the other hand I cant stop myself from helping her whenever she is struggling either on a craft or any drawing or sometimes playing too..... Sometimes I think that I interfere too much .....

I need serious help here...

We used,

* kundans for decorations

* sketch pens

Abandoned...........

This week's theme in Suzy's Artsy Crafty Sitcom is Abandoned....

I didnt have to search for any abandoned building or vehicle or anything else ...

Last summer when I was visiting my Paternal Grandfather's house, my father took me here...

I like these kinds of places and monuments I took a lot of photos.....

I couldnt decide on any one photo... so I posted these four photoes...

Its a Shiva temple and is said to have build some 700 to 800 years old..........

I did a bit of photoshop on these photoes..... ;)

Hair bands......

Hi All!!!

I know that I have not posted any craft items recently.....

The photoes are not upto my expectations..... but I am very lazy to take photoes again.. (*yawn*)

But it has become a very handy stand for my daughter's hairbands.... :) 

The main things that I have used is 

* an old bottle

* some colourful ribbons

* glue

* a sheet of sponge

* glue 

* fabric of your choise

Here I have used my hubby's T-shirt... 

Well its not really old, since I like grey a lot, I keep on buying grey T-shirts for both of us...

Last time I counted the hubby had half a dozen grey T-shirt... :) and me .....more than that.. ;)

So I decided to use on of his T-shirt   :) ;) :) ;)

I had done this in the last week of November but I didnt blog about it.....

P.S.  Actually I had got this idea from the web... but I dont remember in which blog....I googled a lot .... But I didnt find it... so if anyone knows about a similar craft, please inform me...

Rock!!

I know ....I have not been posting any craft work recently.....:)

Are you interested in Photography or photo editing........

Well I like Photography... and I had taken this photo  from the top of  Char Minar... when we visited Hyderabad in August....

I am posting this photo and linking it to Suzy's   Artsy Crafty Sitcom 

This week's theme was Fine Art...

So I edited it using Photoshop....

Usually I post my photographs on my other  blog ..... But since I have edited it I thought of posting it on this blog...

But I have been a bit laaaazy and have not been updating it regularly.... But I have made up my mind to keep on updating my other blog tooooo..... :-P

January 2012 :)

My daughter finally agreed to do this!!

She does very good drawing but she never draws....

Lately while I was browsing I saw that many of them have posted personalised calendars ....

So I requested my daughter to draw a calendar for each month of this year...

And she is going to design and draw a calendar each month....  :)

I am sooo soooo happy.....

And you can see that she has written some imp dates too....

like her friend's birthday, Republic day and Sankranthi...

And I have pasted it on my Fridge!!

Have you planned some craft project for your kid?

Please share it with me so that we can get inspired from each other!! :)
