For the Love of Children Books

Last Friday, I went to Islamic Book Fair (IBF) 2015 in Gelora Bung Karno, Jakarta, with some colleagues. This is the first time I visited IBF, and I didn’t have any expectation.

Tutorial: Colorful Felt Cubes

After a baby comes into my life, I have several toy projects I have in mind. The problem is stealing the time to do them :))

Preparation:

I forgot to mention the scissors. It’s near the drawing pen.
