LITTLE TREASURES II

Here's my second collection of Orange's drawings. I have observed that she is drawing events that recently happened in her life like her recognition day; recent episodes of her favorite TV show, "Indio", http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6sR24r0JLc ; and the episode of "Tropang Potchi" in Baguio City last Panagbenga 2013 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropang_Potchi. 

RECOGNITION DAY, March 2013

My 3 y/o little miss just had her recognition in Day Care last month. According to her these are her classmates Franchesca and Ana Marie in their recognition dress. They are also wearing crown. (But during the recognition day they are actually wearing white graduation cap)

GMA 7 INDIO

Orange had watched on TV that the main character of this show, Malaya/Simeon, reunited with his father (Baba) and mother (Eloi). I saw this drawing in her sketch pad.

Baba, Malaya, and Eloi

The lines connecting their hands, according to my daughter, manifest that they are holding each other.

CHARACTERS IN INDIO

"Malaya"

"Malaya with his top"

"Esperanza"

Feet are covered with her long dress

"Rosa"

"Magayon"

The letters on her arms and lines on her legs are tattoos =)

"Lihangin"

But looks like Lidagat or Dalikmata to me. Lol =D

"Ubo Simeon"

Orange loves Indio so much that she even asked me to send this drawings to Simeon (Sen. Bong Revilla), lol =D The triangular thing on his head is a hat; used by Simeon when he went back to Ilawod.

TROPANG POTCHI

Orange saw the Panagbenga episode of this children's TV show. She was so amazed when she saw the street dancing participants in their Igorot costume. She said that they dressed like the little Indio (Malaya). Then, I found this drawing in her pad paper.

She said this is an Igorot Ka-Potchi.

"Miggy, Potchi, Sab, and Len-len"

The kids in tropang Potchi were wearing hooded shirt in Baguio City, that's why the kid on the left has that striped thing around his face.

OTHER DRAWINGS

She drew these dresses when Mama was sewing her recognition dress.

She also copied her toy castle in this drawing.

She was awarded Best in Arts, Best in Storytelling, and Most Thoughtful in her recognition. Yey! =D

SUMMER TREE

Summer tree will be a traditional activity at home. We started making summer tree last year. It is like a Christmas tree but we used a tall ornamental plant and we hanged DIY drawn ornaments such as sun, fruits, and anything that has something to do with summer. Here's a picture of our summer tree this year:

MATERIALS:

An ornamental plant

For the ornaments:

Fabrics of different color (can be leftover ones)

Transparent folder

Glue

Ribbon

Marker

PROCEDURE for making the ornaments:

1. Using your marker, you need first to draw any summer-y objects on the fabric. You can also put words on it or the names of your family members. I wrote some verbs so my little girl will get to know some English words. She's already fluent with our native dialect Ilocano and national language Filipino because these were the medium of instruction in her school. She can speak a little English mixed with the two dialects.

2. Glue a ribbon on the transparent folder. This will serve as the string.

2. Paste the object that you have drawn then cut according to its shape.

Other ornaments I made:

The star was supposed to be a starfish but my daughter insisted that the star in the sky. So I wrote twinkle instead of swim.

Kite and Bird

Cloud and Watermelon

Flower and Leaf

Valentine is over but my little girl wants to include "Love". Oh, the lips was my idea, LOL. =D

Here, Orange enjoys decorating our Summer tree.

HAPPY SUMMER! (*-*)

ORANGE'S CIRCLES

When I was in 4^th grade my best friend Melody taught me a game out of scribbles. She would scribble endless lines curving and circling and would ask me to decipher as many images as I can from her scribbles. This I applied to my daughter’s drawings of circles when she was 1 year old (now aged 3).

 This is so much fun and my daughter Orange loves it too! =)
