In the beginning of year, the Primary 3 art club children participated in an activity organised by the National Heritage Board. There are different tasks assigned to each of the five professions and children are to complete any three tasks belonging to the profession to earn a badge. One of the tasks require the children to design a tote bag on paper but we managed to have the real thing so the children tried painting using puffy paint and fabric markers. The downside of using puffy paint is..though the packaging instructions state that hair dryer will increase the volume of the paint, it will take a loooong time. I was glad that I had a heat gun at home as it decreases labour time significantly and my colleague, Humaira had to use the heat gun on all the students' work. The results are stunning if the children are patient when applying the puffy paint!
