Zoomoo’s Pinecone Turkey Craft Activity
Our favourite channel Zoomoo channel 619 on Astro is celebrating Christmas and Thanksgiving the crafty way. We get to make some pinecone Turkey craft that is now sitting in our Christmas tree. Thanks Zoomoo for two sets, so my boys don’t have to fight for it. Josiah my little artist couldn’t wait to start doing this craft. As soon as he saw it, he said he won’t go out but just want to stay home doing this. The power of crafts huh.

This December school holiday, we will sending Josiah to his first ever sleepaway camp, not for one night or two nights but for 5 days 4 nights! Camping and staying overnight away from home was never something strange for me. I came from a family of 4 girls and my parents used to always send us to our aunts’ and uncles’ houses during school holidays. I guess now it was because they needed a break from us! I even remembered having sleepovers at my friend’s house when I was really young and had my first rough camp at 14 with just sleeping bags on bamboo floors back in Sarawak. I continued going…
