Despite the lack of artsy activities at home, I'm happy to report that her school still gives her opportunities to channel out her creativity through regular arts and crafts sessions. These activities are the teacher's way of gauging their motor skills and they're usually being rated on how well they'd cut, paste, apply glue, color within lines, if they can hold crayons and scissors properly, pick tiny glitters and eyes.
Now that she's in kindergarten already, the art projects have become more complicated. But I'm really happy to see that the kid showed huge improvements every time she'd take home one finished project after another. It makes me feel like all those bonding sessions every weekend doing nothing but art was all worth it. Well, not that I was really counting on it coming in handy later on. Those were still moments I deeply cherish with or without the benefit that we are reaping of late.
Anyways, moving on. Let me just share with you a couple of projects I managed to document. In Maia's school, we are often required to provide the materials (the teacher sends us a note a week before the activity) since they were not included in the school supplies list that we have to complete during the opening of the school year.

| learning addition is fun! (cutting and pasting exercise using construction paper) |
 |
| Christmas activity (cutting and pasting) (wreath made from paper plate and christmas wrapping paper and silk ribbon) |
 |
| Everytime there's a note that says bring tissue paper roll, my heart gives a silent jump for joy. My hoarding of paper tubes is justified. This particular activity was a test of painting, brushing, drawing, and gluing. |
