Digital art of a singer by my then 7yo daughter:
She loves to tinker with the MS Paint, experimenting here and there until she knows what the tools are for. I don’t think I can do this myself. Can you? ๐

Science portfolio project of the eldest child. She did some tinkering and made some unusual presentation, like that closed paper for the teacher to open.
This portfolio was used in the Science exhibit. School is closed now and they are enjoying being bored at home, ๐

Drawing done by my youngest child using a computer (machine). Not sure is she used MSPaint or GIMP since this file is in hubby’s netbook (which I’m using now) where both programs are installed.
She draws well by hand too: Sonic Hedgehog, colorful sun and little boy. She even stays up late when she is in the mood to draw.

The kids, especially the younger daughter, love Foldabot.
This is a Foldabot Dinosaur that the younger daughter made without help.
Here is the Foldabot Dinosaur at another angle.
Paper folding is one important aspect of child development that seems forgotten these days, with the children busy with their hand-held gadgets and online games.
Children should be good with their finger dexterity for fine motor skills necessary for cutting, pasting, tearing, folding, coloring and writing later on.

For the children’s university week, celebrated every February, the grade four field demonstration was Sayaw sa Bangko.
Sayaw sa Bangko or Sayaw ed Tapew ng Bangko is a folk dance from Pangasinan, a province from the northern Philippines. Performers dance on wooden benches, changing places with each other and at times jumping on and off the bench.
The son is wearing shoes, the pair of slippers which was prepared earlier was forgotten, ๐
Balance and helping each other to stay on the bench is important for the two dancers on the bench.
