I am writing to you for the first time (I have commented on couple of your blogs though ), my name is Usha and I have a 1 year 10 month old daughter. I have started doing arts and crafts with her to keep her busy on weekends, and I have bookmarked your website for ideas. I have already done quite a few arts based on your ideas and thought you would like to have a look. I wanted to thank you for sharing your ideas, my creativity is almost zero, so wanted my baby to take a liking for arts and crafts. Since she is still very young, I have stuck to hand prints mostly. I wanted to write this on your wall, but didn’t know how to upload these pictures of crafts that I have done with my baby. So sending you an email instead. I hope you like them!
A big fan 🙂
Usha
