Best Alphabet apps for babies

These are 2 ipad apps my baby love.

1) Endless Reader by Originator Inc.
It's nicely animated, easy way of learning simple words and how they are applied in sentences.

 2) The Lonely Beast ABC
So interactive and fun, this is one of our favorite apps for babies. The app is based on Chris Judge's children's book The lonely beast.

DIY : kite themed 1st birthday

Over the past week, I helped a friend of mine to create a kite themed party setting for her son's first birthday. She decided on the theme and colours. We created pinwheels pinned on the eraser head of pencils and simple paper kites. I actually had to cute out the letters for the name by hand. Luckily I have my handy Slice cutter, that let me draw and cut out the letters precisely. Slice is a precision cutter, I like how it feels on the grip, and it really make easy on the cutting. There is a trick though. Since I used a slightly thicker paper for the letters than normal printing paper, I have to make sure I pushed the tip of the Slice cutter all the way through before I start to pull on it to make the precise cut. It took a few practice before I am confident to make the final cut.
