Christmas tree at home in Singapore

We bought a synthetic Xmas tree that looked like the real tree from Carrefour five years ago. Carrefour is no longer in Singapore.
-
We also bought ornaments for adorning the shoots and leaves. However, we have never got anything to decorate the apex of our Xmas tree.
-
Our first Xmas with the tree was when we had our daughter. She was 1 yo then and couldn't yet appreciate the tree. We had the tree out every Xmas since.
-
This year, our girl is going to 4 yo. She was very excited when I got the Xmas tree out. She helped mummy decorated the tree. We had everything except the ornament/star at the apex.
-
Getting a decent and beautiful star from shops is easy, we wanted to try something that will be more meaningful. We helped our girl to DIY the star for our Xmas tree.
-
She was excited and helped to color the star. When it was placed at the top of the tree, she was so proud of herself. Most importantly, she was ecstatic.
-
Here is her work.

DIY Star for the apex of our Xmas tree

Game: Sorting beans and relativity

Sorting beans and relativity

How this game is played? First, have four types of beans (or more), and then count the number of each type, e.g. Adzuki bean (red in colour) at 5 beans, mung bean (green in colour) at 10 beans, black turtle bean (black) at 15 beans, soy bean (yellow) at 30 beans, or other beans of different shapes and sizes.

Mix these beans together and put in in a plate or a flat surface. Allow your kid to sort out the beans as according to appearance. Once this is done, as him/her to show which cluster has the least beans and which has the most beans.
