I am happy to share my creations with you,
but keep in mind
that these things take time
so consider please sending a dollar or two.
Anne...I so enjoy your site...you previously had "how to build" your games but now I can't find them. I went and bought all of the supplies so I'm ready to go. Some of the games were: ladybug on the wood frame, star wood, circle of fifths and the wood flower. Thanks for all of your hard work and I sure appreciate the free downloads!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the Teeny Tiny flash cards. I'm using them this week to help my kids practice while my piano gets repaired. http://southpawcrafts.blogspot.com/2013/04/music-monday-practice-without-instrument.html
ReplyDeleteI love the games and always use them with my students. BUT what happened to the old games? The interval garden, the one with the bee (I can remember), spooky intervals, etc? Could someone PLEASE re-post those? I have a friend that wants to use the games with his students, but I can't find the old ones! Help!
