Brown stair and knobless cylinder

After a long consideration, I finally bought the professional version of brown stair(i owned a set of home version) and the knobless cylinder. Olivia was super excited and helped me to unpack them. After that, she can't wait to "hands on" with them. Below is what we did before she went to bed. :)

100 board and bead frames

I DIY a set of 100 board control cards for Olivia to use with the hundred board. Today we learn about odd and even number.

I was in dilemma to buy or DIY. Instead of fork out another £30, I decided to DIY myself. Bought a A1 cardboard from Hobbycraft and get some FREE colour samples from B&Q. 100% self satisfaction. :)

Swindon Music Festival

Today marked a special day for OXT because she won the beginner solo in Swindon Music Festival. We are so proud of her.

DIY 3D music notes ( sew from felt)

OXT is gifted with perfect pitch. Her speed of picking up a song by hearing is much more faster than reading from the music sheets. Sometimes she can play a song by just listen to the CD for few times. In order to help her on sight reading, I decided to DIY a music learning kit for her.

Today I let her learn the name of the basic notes first while I still working hard to complete this DIY Challenge.
