Since she kept saying that the Singapore flag (that daddy hang this afternoon) will fall even after we assured that the knots are really tight, I took the opportunity to have a flag making activity.
Materials:
- Ice-cream stick
- A4 Paper or Recycled paper
- Pen/pencil
- Colour pencils or markers
- Scissors
- Glue
- Sticky tape
- Fold the A4 paper into halves 3 times.
- Cut out the excess paper. (for us we use 2 layers so that it is not so flimsy.)
- Fold the paper into half slightly to get a line and draw a line across.
- Draw a moon and five stars.
- Colour them respectively.
- Place the ice-cream stick inside the paper (using the line as a guideline).
- Glue the paper sides.
- Colour the ice-cream stick.
- Use sticky tape to secure the ice-cream stick and the paper (at the white portion) together if the glue is not strong enough.

| sshhhh. Don't disturb me, let me colour the ice-cream stick.... |
And ta-da! Here it is:
 |
| Is my flag nice? |
 |
| Let's wave ~ ~ |
 |
| Don't take my face... |
 |
| hee... nice right? |
 |
| yeay .... |
Actually, I did most of the work - she only cut the paper, colour the flag (only very faintly and I had to touch up) and ice-cream stick. But she enjoyed the process and that mummy is doing something
with her. In the end, I did another flag cos she just refused to share with yr. Sigh....
I should have also mentioned to her what the moon, stars and colour mean, but er...frankly, I can't remember (opps!). So I only explained the significance for flying the National Flag. heh.
