The Japanese Yosegi Art of Parquetry
Instead of using paint, Japanese Yosegi decorations are made out of natural fine grains and textures of wood. First, timbers are cut into rods of desired sections, the rods are then glued together to form a section of geometrical design pattern. The surface is sliced into thin plates of wood, which are glued onto boxes and other handicraft works. This mosaic-like art originated during Japan's Edo Period (17th-19th century) and are still respected all over the world.

Cool Toy Alert: FlowToys: Toroflux Demo
My kid came home from school raving about a toy he discovered in the principal's office. By the miracle of Google, I was able to find it my first try by typing "rings twirl connected toy" and what I found was something worthy of sharing here. It is called "Toroflux" by Flow Toys. One look at a still photo of this toy and it is no wonder that my kid picked it up......and after watching a video of Toroflux in action I understand why he fell in love.

Can we practice handwriting without a pencil, please?
Efficient handwriting skills require some very complex skills that can be developed in some very simple ways. Children seem to know how to hone these skills when they are given the freedom to experiment. That’s called “play,” by the way! There are five areas where children need to be proficient in order to be “handwriters.” I will connect them here with some very simple and inexpensive activities that will create fun handwriting experiences – without a pencil!
