Making : Horse on Stick

This year for Darren’s birthday, we put up a skit with a cowboy theme.  So, Bren wrote the script and each actor/actress in the family designed our own props to fit our roles.

Personally, I love this involvement because it is not only educational but the outputs often bring about much laughter and sense of fulfillment and we get to see the creative flair of our boys.

and….

I am glad that our boys echoed my thoughts.

As the notorious cowgirl for this celebration, I had the idea of making items like a horse, a whip and a cowboy hat. The birthday boy, who has always been creative in designing decorations for all our birthday celebrations, was certainly fast to embrace the idea.

and…

not forgetting our effort to “go green”, after getting some ideas from the web, I recycled some unused socks, some left over cloth, ribbons and strings and we started assembling a “horse on stick”.

pic12I didn’t have velvet cloth (thicker material and hence can have a pair of stiff ears) at that moment or I could have sewn them on as ears and eyes.

Involve your kid in the making because the process is easy and our birthday boy was already galloping around with his horse the first day it was ready:)

Enjoy another of this parent-kid bonding project!
