Are you new to Chennai Moms?

-y don't u try paper mash?? can she take the prepared mash to school? if so she can make small cups or plates there and paint them( but it has to dry right?....guess not a gud idea:(

-she can take any pet jar of pepsi or coke, cut the upper half off and make it into a vase, she can paint any designs using  glasspaint.

-she can use small chocolate papers(like that of eclairs) and make a dress for her doll, make a garland using the same

-use newspaper to make a folding fan( lke the japenese fan).

thats all i can think of now!!!

let me know if any of it sparked an idea for u

u can help her make a small fan or a house out of icecream sticks... or.... some art on a cardboad using pistas ... and if u have broken glass bangles u can make a chain like a garland by holding the broken piece to a candle flame and bending it.. like this u can make a chain using bangle pieces...

u hav givn good ideas....smitha , but the child has to do their itself , on the spot..., it's not somthng that can b done at home n take it...

oh is it...

then... i think u can teach her to make a pen stand or something simple like tat out of a cardboard and let her paint it colorfully... and stick something nice and cute stickers on that.... 

Let us know wat she did finally...

good idea smitha...

thank u all for ur inputs...

My son of age 5 's urine is always surrounded by ants. Is he diabetic? Bcoz my father and grandparents are diabetic. I'm not. Please help me.

If your son is otherwise fine, Urine surrounded by ants is no indication that someone is diabetic , this is quite a common feature, but because diabetes runs in families so whenever you visit your paediatrician next do discuss your family history with him so that he/she  can keep a watch.

Greetings Doctor,

Hi Natalia,

No 2 kids are same so u cannot compare him with your daughter, From what you have written, doesn’t looks like there is a problem, some kids start speaking late, so if his understanding of things and hearing is all right,don’t worry, just continue talking to him, reading to him and otherwise stimulating him and just relax and enjoy your babies!
