Letter Of The Week - "N" For Newt

This was our first letter after we came back so I wanted to keep it as simple as possible. I did not know how Sophie felt about her craft time after a 2-week break. We could only choose among "N", "V" and "Z" since we had already completed the rest. So, we ended up doing "N" for Newt. Imagine how relieved I was when I found out that a newt is more like a frog than a lizard although they look awfully alike... to me at least.



Did I mention the new set of Crayola Twistables Slick Stix that we had bought for Sophie just before our trip? I am such a utter fan of Crayola now... somehow they have got all the right stuff together. They are as convenient as colour pencils, minus the sharpening and breaking; the colours are brilliant and easy to apply because of the creamy texture. Great for Sophie but not so fantastic for our pockets - $9 per set of 5.



Sophie was rather cooperative, contrary to what I initiately thought. Of course it helped that we used her favourite stickers for this part of the craft. And we stopped to play a little as well.



I noticed that Sophie seemed a little more focused than before. She did not deliberately paint out of the letter and she could work longer. Can she be growing up?



It was such a painless session that I was almost reluctant to end it. Maybe she missed her art and craft routine... we shall see if tomorrow's craft as equally good.

I probably should have picked another background... somehow I always have problem with background colour...
