Now that spring is coming, our windows could use a boost! If we can make our windows more cheerful together with the little monsters, even more fun. We immediately grab our kite paper block and a glue stick, so we can immediately start folding after school (after tea of course!). The little ones fold the tulips and we fold the stems, a good division of this fun job!
