LOCKDOWN DAY 3: I recorded
my first video for our YouTube Channel on 24.03 and *clap clap clap* to all the
YouTubers out there. What an effort it
took! Here's the link : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBZ1wlakQfE
I don’t have the right equipment for recording videos, so I used a
selfie stick propped into a vase and the vase was supported by a book (the vase
kept swaying under the weight of the selfie stick). I struggled with lighting
and the background. I applied fresh nail paint before recording the video, changed
my shirt twice (the first one wasn’t fancy enough for social media and the
second was crumpled) and finally ended up wearing a full sleeved woollen shirt in this heat !!! Pheew! Skip and mamma gave
some constructive criticism which I pretended to appreciate and Amroo and Teju
have given some tips which I forgot to jot down.
Skip and I are being polynarritivus (reading multiple books at
once). We were running out of bookmarks and I noticed Skip was using rolls of
newspaper as bookmark. 24th was the date set to make a bookmark and
I recalled a photograph that Teju had sent of a bookmark that Ro had made for
his school exhibition (Ni and Ro are Teju’s children who besides being lovely
kids are also very artistic). I looked it up on YouTube and the tutorial was so
simple that Skip (who is 7 years old) made it all by himself.
We didn’t have craft or origami paper, so we used a regular sheet
of paper. If you don’t have colourful paper, paint the craft work once it’s
done especially if you plan on using water paints else it gets difficult to
work with the paper.
I have used a 15*15 cms sized, square shaped paper. The size of the
paper doesn’t matter BUT it does have to be square in shape.
Please refer to the YouTube video for instructions.
Make the experience more fun by drawing on the bookmark or
decorating it the way you like.
If you have any art and craft ideas to keep these little ones
occupied, please do drop in a comment. Please do subscribe to our YouTube
