I had another request for a playmat... Actually, to be honest, I had lots of requests but I had to turn them down. It takes a lot of head cracking, hardwork and TIME as well as some stretching and some patience when it comes to sewing a play mat. This order was long overdue actually. Since December I think? Luckily it was for a friend and she understood. Plus, the first trimester I had wasn't exactly the same easy going one like when I was pregnant with Chago.
So here's the finished product.
The counting Play Mat.
kind of actually thrilled at the fact that just after minutes of uploading the pictures, I had over 150 hits on my facebook album! Thank you So much for the grand Support! It makes me feel so so special :)
Enjoy!
P/s: Forgive me for the quality of the photos taken...
Chago just couldn't contain himself therefore I had to mind him and the picture taking at the same time!
Customized for Qayyum
An Apple in a basket
A car with TWO wheels
A sandwich with THREE eggs
A Fish bowl with FOUR Fishes
A night Cloud with FIVE stars
A dice with SIX Dots
A bag of Cookies with SEVEN Cookies
A flower with EIGHT petals
A Birthday Cake with NINE Candles
A tree with TEN birds
Now time for the "Play"
Starting with the flowers since they are the most colourful ones on the mat
Took them off, counted, named the colours with mama and fixing them back on :)
Counting stars and humming to "Twinkle Twinkle little Star"
Dice! Count them dots!
Getting the cookies out. Chago said that these were Raisin Cookies!
Raisins makes his world go round :)
Counting as he takes them off
Anymore in there?
Getting the little fishies out.
Here, Chago actually looked at the colour of the fish, the eyes and was making them swim in the bowl
hahaha, too cute!
EGGS!!! Chago loves eggs!
Count them and put them in!
During the making of this mat, occasionally I found myself alone in my bedroom...
Whenever I had to look for him, I would find him sitting on the unfnished mat pretending to eat the egg sandwich :) I could hear him say "onomnonomnom"
Chago named the colour of the apple and said "Only one"
Counting the birds, naming the colours and even counting the feet!
Wasn't expecting him to count the feet
Sang Happy Birthday and pretending to blow the candles
Hahaha, this boy can really entertain himself.
He was counting the candles in this picture
Taking the wheels off and putting them back. He loves cars (don't all boys!)
He even counted the windows!
Here, he found the letter M
Ahhhhh
"Time to relax" was what he really did say :)
Till I sew next :)
