Rubber Bands, Jigsaw Puzzle, Spaghetti Slots

Malaysia, being one of the world's biggest producer of natural rubber, uses or rather distributes 'Rubber Bands' for quite a number of uses.

Naturally, Little One should be allowed to 'test drive it' and see for himself it's many usefulness.
Needless to say, he found it very entertaining.

Along with this Paper Towel Roll barrel...

What's that luv?
Hey, it's a Fish. An Octopus and a Turtle!
And done in such a way, that it's also a jigsaw when put together created by Mummy Dearest.

My boy's love for all things to do with fish has no bounds... While many will want to watch a certain cartoon over and over again, give him documentaries on Fish, and he'll sit down quietly...

So naturally, quite a number of his teaching aids ... follow this interest! :P
Here is an extension of Spaghetti Slots. In this case, he's supposed to slot in those Spaghetti into those holes...
But it's hard to stop him from eating it as he enjoys Spaghetti... more so during his time in Geneva.

And that's my boy fixing up that track...
The End.

Spaghetti Poking, Piggy Bank, Opening and Storing

Hmmmm, what's this?
Oh? Am I supposed to poke this into ... here?
Wow... would you look at that!
Or rather, why don't you just let me play at how's it supposed to be played? :P
Next up: Spoon feeding...or rather scooping up the ball biscuits with the spoon from an ice cube tray. In this case, it's his OXO tray that we used a long time ago to freeze his baby food.
Mmmmmmm... Yummy!
Teaching him to be financially independent!
Actually, it's more for putting in/slotting in coins...

And it's certainly something he loves doing. A lot! Must be all that money going ... ka-ching!
Hmmmm... what am I supposed to do with this?
What's up Mummy, Daddy?
It's got so many compartments!
What should I do??? So many to open and close!
No, he's not praying...
Rather, he's trying to figure out what to do with it!

Right my boy, these are the items Mummy and Daddy want you to learn today...
There's this bunch of small containers that screw one on top of another. He figured them out in no time...


Unzipping caused him a little grief - of which he decided he'll just get Mummy and Daddy to handle it for him! :P


The End.

Of Chuggington and a Lego Tunnel

We had a lot of  Lego Duplos around and since Little One or rather Toddlers his age love tunnels, yours truly decided to make his own tunnel.
Add them to his Chuggington track, this is the result. Needless to say, it kept his curiosity going for a good 45mins...



After which, he got bored and decided to be the Monster that he is and destroyed everything... :P

The End.

Of Kinetic Sand and Boxes...

Oooooh. What's this?
If you can't go to a beach, then let the beach come to you!
It's called Kinetic Sand. A little bit wet and sticky like wet beach sand, but non of the messiness like real beach sand either!
And so, we filled a container box with it, and let him enjoy himself. The cookie cutters came from Daiso.
As you can see, he loved it!



The best thing about this Kinetic Sand is also the fact that it's been chemically treated which makes it a little sticky to itself. So, if and when you have it spilled out, just bring the 'sand' together into a clump...
Other assorted toys / accessories came from Jelly Moulds and Children's Baking Spoons, etc.

Did he enjoy it? Yes, immensely. So where did we get it from? From this company called Kids.MY

Some time after that, we introduced boxes to Little One. The concept was for him to arrange/sort according to sizes or ... free play to stack how he felt.
Mummy dearest had accumulated all those boxes from her office for him to stack. But I guess he's idea of stacking is a wee bit different.
Like so...


Ah well, that's my boy for you!
The End.

Gyeongbokgung Palace, National Palace Museum of Korea & Going Home

Just before heading home, we visited this site: Gyeongbokgung Palace. Unfortunately, while it looks nice and sunny, it isn't! It...
