The song from one of Hannah’s favourite Mickey Mouse Clubhouse episodes played in my head when I carried out a stamping activity with Hannah recently. Our girl got inspired to do ‘art and craft’ at home after watching this particular episode. She enjoys using the paint brush to ‘draw’ on her drawing board whenever she gets the opportunity. An idea came to mind when we were doing ‘art and craft’ today. I went into the kitchen to dig out my vegetable cutters (aka cookie cutters) and made some potato print blocks (I have unused potatoes in my fridge anyway). It was quick and easy. 10 minutes tops.<\/p>\n

Once the print blocks were ready, all Hannah had to do was to wet the print surface with water, press it onto a poster colour cake and start stamping away on her drawing board. She was quite engrossed in the activity until I told her that we had to move on to the daily routine of taking her bath.<\/p>\n

It just so happened that the size of the cut out shapes on the print blocks fit exactly within the poster colour cakes. So random and yet so perfect :)<\/p>\n
