As a bonding activity with my daughter, I bought an arts and crafts activity kit from Toy Kingdom the other week. For around 300php, my daughter and I were able to make cupcake-shaped refrigerator magnets last weekend.
The kit inlcudes the following:
- 2 packs of plaster of Paris (1 pack good for 6 cupcakes)
- Paint (not sure what kind) - pink, blue, yellow, white, and violet)
- Paitbrush
- Magnets
- Pins (in case you want to make cupcake pins instead)
- Cupcake mold
Here are some pictures of our bonding activity:
The Mould and Paint Cupcake Kit - packaging is very cute and eye-catching. One of the reasons why I bought it.
Phoenix smiling at the camera before we opened the kit.
With all the tools laid out before her.
The tools, like I mentioned earlier.
After we are done mixing the plaster and pouring it into the mold. You need to mix one pack of plaster with 50-70ml of water.
Waiting for the plaster to dry. Takes around 30 minutes to an hour.

Enjoying herself.
Another shot of her painting.
And ta da!!! The finished cupcakes! Phoenix did most of the painting (except for 2 cupcakes wherein I couldn't resist and did all the coloring) but I did the edges and fine details for her. Aren't they lovely? :)
Overall, I would recommend this kit for moms who want to do some bonding activity with their kids. I believe that they have a lot of other sets that you can choose from. My only complaint is that the paint peels off easily. Good thing that a facebook friend recommended that I use clear acrylic spray on the finished product so that the paint can hold up. I already bought the acrylic spray but I haven't used it yet. Will post pics of the cuppies once I'm done coating them with clear acrylic.
Anyway, two thumbs up for this kit. Highly recommended!

My baby had her major field trip last October. It was her first time to go on a field trip since she was sick when her class had it last year. Though it was raining for most of the trip, I felt that Phoenix really enjoyed herself. We visited 2 places: Nayon Pilipino and Zoocobia Zoo in Clark, Pampanga. We were also supposed to go to Duty Free shops but due to the torrential rains, we had to cancel at the last minute since the school staff was worried about the trip home to Manila.
Here are our favorite pics from the field trip:
Nayon Pilipino
Overall a tiring but VERY enjoyable and fun day. Special thanks to my sister to coming with us. :)
