In November of last year we put up this velcro wall hanging “activity center” in a very small and unused half wall near our reading bench: <img class=”alignnone size-large wp-image-2108″ src=”http://hafuboti.wpcomstaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/beforewall.jpg?w=584″ alt=”” width=”584″ height=”855″> It was used<em> a lot</em> to the point of letters being torn and the whole thing began to come apart in a…
