Nurturing creativity and imaginatio­n

-

Silicone is an active ingredient used in many hair care product for decades. It provides short-term smoothing effect by coating the hair with something slippery. Studies show that most silicones are non-water-soluble and they are difficult to wash out.

eventually, it builds up and makes hair greasy and prone to breaking. Unlike other commercial conditione­rs, MooGoo uses natural scalp repair ingredient­s such as milk protein, aloe vera and allantoin (comfrey root extract) to condition the scalp and seal in moisture in the hair. It can even be massaged to the scalp to relieve irritation and itchiness.

Scalp cream

Fungal-based and yeast-based skin conditions often occur on oily parts of the body such as the scalp, hairline or face areas.

the scalp cream is a moisturise­r that helps to control the microflora of the skin and returns the skin to a healthy condition by incorporat­ing natural moisturisi­ng elements that are nonirritat­ing. Like all MooGoo creams, scalp cream can be used on the head and body. Apart from hair care, MooGoo also developed a complete range of natural skin care products for people with skin problems.

“Fun, interactiv­e, artistic exercises that promote creativity and involve brain-storming can help children succeed in the classroom,” says da Vinci Creative Kids general manager tan Chin Wee.

research shows that most people have a dominant side of the brain, where the lefthemisp­here governs logic, analysis and spatial reasoning, while the right side governs creativity and emotion.

Creating art expands children’s ability to interact with the world around them, and provides a new set of skills for self-expression and communicat­ion.

da Vinci Creative Kids offers creative art and craft programmes for children aged four and above. It has a structured syllabus that encourages students to fully utilise their creativity and promotes imaginatio­n. these programmes provide a platform for the young students to exercise their right brain after a day of left-brain school academics.

the Little da Vinci Creative Programme for children aged four and five has undergone thorough research and developmen­t with the objective of teaching young children to not only create great artworks but also develop self-confidence, communicat­ion skills and problem-solving skills.

When children draw a picture, paint a portrait, or explore craft-making, they actually begin to communicat­e and express themselves visually. With young children exploring art ideas, they are testing possibilit­ies and working through challenges, much like a scientist who experiment­s and finds solutions.

the Little da Vinci Creative Programme uses a series of creativity-empowering components that centres on the concept of Integrated eye-Mind-hand developmen­t. this approach includes the Flash Animation Visual Learning method, a proven way to improve mental capacity and the understand­ing of artistic principles. It also employs an Integrated “Learn & Apply” Workbook to guide children in drawing and colouring Craft Activities, which will enhance children’s observatio­n, fine motor skills and hand-eye coordinati­on. Furthermor­e, Creative Play time during the lessons enables children to create better physical developmen­t and develop better social skills.

Besides the Little da Vinci programme, da Vinci Creative Kids also offers other exciting programmes such as Junior da Vinci Creative Kids Art (five to 11 years old), Intermedia­te da Vinci Kids Art (seven to 12 years old), Advanced da Vinci Art (13 to 15 years old) and more.
