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.

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.

Hi buds,


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

Same here.. but it is honestly fine for homeschooling use for non-fussy parents. So... guessin' you and i are quite fussy then uh?

SAHM_TAN:

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??

:yikes:

Thick cardboard actually won't give ya aching fingers darling..

It'll give ya BLISTERS! :nailbite:

The thick cardboard does give a woody-ala-Montessori feel..
BUT, they are extremely tedious to cut especially for the curves! :faint:
The colours fade with time. They get wet easily, even for sweat stains. :hugs:
Foam is waterproof, biteproof, tear-proof, brighter coloured, won't fade easily..
And most importantly way easier to cut. I mean we are talking DIY-ing what..
Like mebbe 5 consonants for 21 of the letters... and 3 vowels for each of 5... :idea:
It's a LOTTA work especially if one may not be used to doing craft work...

(I sure hope you are, my friend.. )
