Be Festive, Be Creative | Canon Pixma Creative Workshop

A week before I had an intimate craft party with 4 other lovely mums, I co-hosted the Be Festive, Be with Canon Pixma Workshop at Chef Daniel's Kitchen, Bugis+ {previously Illuma Bugis}. With 70 participants, it was not as "intimate", but definitely just as enjoyable!

It was my first hosting gig and yes I was a little overwhelmed, but thankfully the participants were all very friendly, and there was so much happy laughter going around that I didn't faint from nervousness hahaha.

Parents brought their kids {aged 5-12 years old} and joined us for a lively afternoon where Joanne and I shared our craft tips and taught them how to create 3 different crafts with materials found in the Canon Creative Park website and printed from Canon PIXMA printers. I love the new wireless mobile printing capabilities of the printers that makes printing from smartphones so much easier!

We made personalised 3D Photo Frames, Plastic Plate Clocks {shown above}, and Festive Party Hats.

Some of the lovely mummies and their kiddos. It was great to see dads in the crowd too!

Me and my partner, Joanne. She's a professional host and so very bubbly! I wonder how she manages to keep her energy up to host almost daily. I was quite beat after just this event :P

These are some of the seasonal craft materials from the Creative Park website. They have many other free templates and printables for gift cards, scrapbooks, calendars, origami etc. Just download, save and print! Very convenient and much more affordable than buying from the stores~ You should also check out the Canon Pixma Town website where there are also free printables from famous artists that brought you Tokidoki, Tofu-Oyako and Rilakkuma!

Arts and crafts are really a great way to bond with the kids and connect with them. The only limit to creativity is your imagination and there's a wide range craft activities you can do according to your child's interest. I'm sure they all love the one-on-one time they spend with you creating beautiful art-pieces and memories for life.

Thanks for coming down to the event :) Do keep in contact with me via Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. Would love to continue trading more craft tips and tricks with everybody!

If you like more ideas on creative activities to do with kids, here are some arts & crafts that we did with Lil Pumpkin. A pity she couldn't attend the workshop that day, but we sure had fun trying out the Creative Park crafts at home!
