Springfield Kindergarten's curriculum was very interesting. The teachers didn't just force the kids to learn, they focused more on enlightening the kids' abilities.
For example, the first two weeks of learning how to write. After the teachers taught the kids how to write the strokes, they asked the kids to go home and study how to write their names with their parents.
It was this kind of exploration that allowed the kids to understand the structure of words. In the future, they didn't need the teachers to teach them word by word. They could learn how to write other words by imitating them.
Of course, this writing lesson was just a beginner's lesson. It was not suitable for these half-grown children to lie on their desks and crawl all day long. After the teachers had enlightened their basic writing skills, they started other more interesting lessons.
For example, this week's handicraft class was held. Although it was held to enlighten the kids' hands-on skills, it was very popular with the kids. Xi Xi liked it very much. Almost every day after she came back from kindergarten, she would look forward to going to kindergarten the next day.
Under the guidance of Ms. Shen, who was good at all kinds of handicrafts, Xi Xi and the other kids seemed to have entered a new world.
On the first day, Xi Xi brought home a heart made of folded red paper. This was even "plagiarized" by the despicable dad — Yang Yi took a picture of it and sent it to Murphy. He didn't even tell Murphy that it was Xi Xi who folded it!
On the second day, Xi Xi brought home a big cardboard. On the cardboard, there was a pattern of trees and flowers made with colored shreds of paper and a watercolor pen.
On the third day, Xi Xi brought home a handmade phone that Ms. Shen taught them to make with two paper cups and a cotton thread to play with. Xi Xi, who didn't understand the principle behind it, was very happy to show her mother the magic of whispering!
On the fourth day …
Yesterday, it was finally the weekend. Ms. Shen demonstrated to the kids in class and gave them the instruction manual. She also gave the kids and their parents a parent-child assignment: Mom, Dad, and the baby have to make a doll out of the discarded fabric at home!
Fortunately, it was a small assignment. Otherwise, Xi Xi would have pestered her dad to go to kindergarten to play with Ms. Shen on the weekend.
Mo Sansui, on the other hand, was very interested in Xi Xi's handiwork. He had been preparing the materials in high spirits since last night.
She found the bib that Yang Yi had bought for Xi Xi, but Xi Xi wasn't a one-year-old child, so she didn't need it. It was made of 100% pure cotton and felt very comfortable to the touch. Furthermore, it was light pink and the color was pure and elegant. It was suitable for making dolls.
As for the cotton wool used for stuffing, Murphy didn't want to use medical cotton. She directly opened Yang Yi's pillow and took out a handful. She even snickered and ran over to Yang Yi to ask him if he knew where she got this ball of cotton.
Left with no choice, Yang Yi could only serve her according to the family rules …
Without a pillow, the two of them could only sleep on the same bed that night. Yang Yi slept on Murphy's pillow, and Murphy slept on Yang Yi's body … Cough, cough!
It was worth mentioning that Yang Yi didn't have a needle and thread at home. Although he was an artistic killer who could embroider in his heart, he didn't really know how to embroider.
Spiderman and Haibian King knew how to make clothes for themselves, but Yang Yi didn't … Usually, when his clothes were torn, he would just throw them away and change them. Why would he ever think of sewing them himself?
Therefore, his pillow couldn't be mended. The next day, he had to find a place to buy needles and thread for Murphy and Xi Xi to make handiwork for them.
Yang Yi really didn't know where to buy needles and thread for mending. Fortunately, he had Ding Xiang, who lived frugally and continued to wear clothes after they were torn, to consult him.
"Brother Yang, is it because Xi Xi's clothes are torn? Give them to me. I'll go back to the dormitory and bring them back for you. " Taking advantage of the fact that there were many customers during the weekend, Ding Xiang, who came to open the shop early, kindly wanted to help Yang Yi save money. "You don't need to buy needles and thread. You don't need it anyway. It's such a waste."
After knowing the real purpose of Yang Yi's purchase of needles and thread, Ding Xiang wanted to give her needles and thread to Yang Yi, but Yang Yi politely refused this kind girl.
He didn't want needles or thread. He just wanted to know where to buy needles and thread …
After a lot of trouble, Yang Yi finally bought back the needle box, pink thread, and his new pillow that Murphy wanted in the afternoon.
…
Finally, it was time to start making handmade dolls. Yang Yi looked at the excited Murphy and kindly reminded her, "Murphy, you can't do all the procedures by yourself. This is a parent-child task. You have to let Xi Xi join in."
The little girl, who had been squatting by the side and looking eagerly, nodded quickly. She blinked her big eyes and said, "Mom, I want to play too."
Xi Xi wasn't the only one who wanted to play. Seeing the balls of cotton wool, the three kittens raised their tails and circled around with interest. They watched the reactions of their owners and looked for opportunities to sneak in and touch them.
However, Murphy was very vigilant and drove them away. She spread out the manual, pointed down step by step, and said, "Xi Xi certainly wants to join in, but Xi Xi, Mom has to tell you that you can't touch needles. The sewing work must be done by Mom or Papa. You can help Mom and Mom, okay?"
"Okay!" Xi Xi answered happily. No matter what she did, as long as she could join in, it was fine.
"I don't need to, right? I'll help you drive the kittens away. "Yang Yi hurriedly waved his hand.
Wasn't threading the needle something that the girls and Dongfang Bubai played with?
There was still a way to deal with Little Gray, Dodo, and Little Guai. Yang Yi took out the catmint dolls that he bought a few days ago. In fact, they were just small dolls with bags of catmint stuffed in them. There were exactly three of them in a set, and Yang Yi threw them all out.
When he threw them out, the British Shorthairs didn't pay attention. Only the active Little Gray turned its head to take a look, but it didn't seem to be as attractive as the balls of cotton wool!
However, Dodo's sensitive nose seemed to have smelled something. It ran cheerfully to the nearest doll and sniffed.
Suddenly, the two pupils of Dodo's eyes turned from slits to big round beads. With a meow, Dodo's two paws pounced on the doll, and then started to bite.
It didn't seem like it was dealing with an enemy. After biting for a while, Dodo twisted its body and used every part of its big round face to rub the catmint doll hard.
In a short while, the three catmint dolls found their respective partners, and then they were brutally ravaged by their partners. The filthy scene was simply unbearable to watch.
In any case, the three little fellows didn't have the energy to disturb Yang Yi and the others for the time being.
However, Murphy still arranged a task for Yang Yi.
"No, Mr. Shen said that he wants parents and children to make this doll together. Yang Yi, how can you not do your homework?" Murphy looked at Yang Yi's flustered look, chuckled, and said, "Come, take this bib and cut off the bumps on the edges."
Yang Yi had no choice but to sit down as well. Fortunately, he was only using scissors. He could play with anything related to knives. Grabbing the center of the scissors, he moved the scissors in a circle. The raised parts were all cut out, leaving only an oval piece of cloth.
Murphy wasn't idle either. She rolled the cotton wool into strips, and Xi Xi followed suit. Then, according to Mr. Shen's instructions, the strips were stacked together and rolled into a sturdy and beautiful ball.
"It's a bit too big. Mr. Shen said that the diameter is about three centimeters. Ours is a bit too big, but it's okay. Let's make a bigger doll!" Murphy smiled at Xi Xi, who was curiously poking the ball.
"Okay, make a big one. I like big dolls!" Xi Xi replied happily.
