I have no lobang to buy reasonably price items but yet in a hurry to teach my DD2. thus I bought quite a few thgs fr enrighten too. Actually I did some comparison on e pricing but unfortunately i can't compare e quality as i have not ordered fr overseas yet. Thru e current workshop, a lot of us mummies r scouring e internet to do some comparison. Esp for e more ex items like the golden beads. :moneyflies: Sad to say, tis is e MOST IMPORTANT maths material to me so have to spend a bit. We mummies r consolidating our requirements & have not ordered yet.

MOST IMPORTANT?
In a hurry? :frustrated:
Dun fret. I'm coming to your rescue now. :hugs:
Here are other quick alternatives. :imanangel:

Here's the link for the base ten set from Growing Fun. Best bargain, babe. $29.90 nia!

You can DIY, you can purchase a thick green felt material & line
your columns with fabric paint, big enough to work the base ten set
from Growing Fun. The thicker ones at Spotlight can work fine too cept'
won't be able to roll it oni.

Here's another link of a set of blue linking base ten starter set
from The Learning Store for $66.90.

I thought the shop has a cheaper China made version of the beads? The colour of the beads is more yellow than golden.

Which shop? Enrighten's wan oso yellow. Montessori beads of poor quality have sharp finish at certain edges. Watch out for those. I dun quite fancy those with the wires sticking out on both ends. Looks unsightly especially for the thousand cube but of course still can use laa. I have the Growing Fun base ten set, the actual golden beads and also the wooden ones. Kiasu anot arh?

I have a serious fetish. Buying too many materials.
But they are sooo good & i love all of them. :please:

Serious problem hor.

Hi there,

I noticed you visited Whitelodge. Did you like the school? I am thinking about sending my 18 months old there but not sure if it is a good choice. Hope to hear some thoughts from you.

Hi buds,


The shop is enrighten lor. I did not get becos my fingers did not like the feel........

I know it's silly and I will suffer aching fingers...........I did not buy the foam sheet to make LMA......

It's my itchy, curious fingers' fault. I went to purchase it, then the itchy, curious fingers had to peel open the plastic, very carefully, and touch the foam. The fingers sent msg to brain that they did not like the feel,
the brain command the feet to walk away.... :faint: I sealed the package to the original state.

I wandered to the paper section and found coloured hard cardboard. My fingers fingered the board and think it felt like thin wood and liked the finish on the board..........sent signal to brain and brain decide to select one to try................. :faint: paper from wood mah :rotflmao:

But since the cardboard rather thick and \"solid\" , I went to buy a pair of big scissors :faint:

so silly and itchy backside right??

Btw, if you have 10 ppl interested to get the base ten set from Growing Fun.. one of you can sign up membership to get discount. Find out details from the respective stores/outlets. I used to frequent the ones at United Square and Suntec City. Find that the Suntec outlet in-charge gave me a more welcoming feel. Somehow twice when i came, they managed to guess i was a teacher and asked if i was a member so that i could get better prices for the products i purchase for centre. :please: Nice.
