I believe my niece’s heart is into arts and
so our bonding activities are mostly in this area (but her other favorite is
math, she whispered). She loves to draw
and paint. Crayons and watercolor are always
a hit! On her last birthday, she got 2
boxes of 4M Mould & Paint Plaster Fridge Magnets Badges and today is
the perfect day for this bonding activity, just the perfect rainy afternoon for
us.
Kit includes the plaster, mould, pins, paint, paint brush, and
magnet strips. A detailed instruction is
included in the box. Adult assistance is
also recommended because the product contains small parts which may cause
choking. Be warned that this is not for
children under 3 years old. Niece is now
5 but still needs a little help from Auntie.
To start with, I mixed the plaster for her.
I cannot trust yet our little artist’s hands in doing this. In a mixing bowl, I poured
the plaster and added approximately 50-70 ml of water slowly. Remember not to
pour too much water at once as it will make the plaster too runny. Once a smooth paste is achieved, I poured the
mixture into the mould and waited for the plaster to set.
When the plasters are hard enough to be released,
niece started her paint job and Auntie waited to do post prod, adding final
touches.
The colorful fridge magnets added fun to an otherwise boring beige-finished fridge door.
