Since we don't have washi tape here, we used the multi-colored paper strips for crafting origami stars. And this is my response to the boys when they asked for a "Surprise" one night: Making a Washi-themed cup!
Steps:
1. Get a used, clean yogurt cup and remove the plastic labels.
2. Cut the right length of washi tape / paper strips to fit the circumference of the cup.
3. Tape or glue the strips horizontally around the cup one by one so that the strips are lined one above the other.
The boys deep in concentration. Zac decide to add some flair and stripe the cup bottom too. To my surprise, Jem boy is diligently neat despite the fine-motor skills needed in the manual pasting! |
TADA!!! ... mummy. |
And after that, a celebration: "YAAAAAAAM....SENG!!" with Dutch Lady Strawberry milk.
Enjoying doing the Chinese traditional toast with each other, and mummy. |
Zac & Jem, mummy loves your cups! And thanks MamaJ for the idea =) |
So give it a try. It Will be fun! =)
