We found cicada shells also this year. Since my second 3y/o daughter completely forgot about Japanese summer, she reacted as she saw the cicada shell for the first time. The first time, she scared them, but soon she grabbed them and looked…

My second daughter started to try Origami. She can make only tulip, the easiest one. She prefers to fold the Origami into sticks. She folds even the paper that she drew something. I don't know why, but all her drawings are folded, so arran…
