Finally, I discovered another bookstore that has English books. While walking around Knez Mihailova, I discovered  PLATO. They have a few books which I plan to buy for Maverick in case we already have a budget.  English books are so so so expensive here!! A simple children's book would cost around 10Euro, and to think that it's about 6-8 pages only!  It makes me want to go back in the Philippines where you can buy a book for less than 1Euro... Booksale has a lot more in-store for Mavi!

Anyway, I was also happy that this week, I finally got to introduce watercolors for our hand painting activity! Plus, I found a nice kitchen set at Pertini Toys which I will also be using for our fine motor skills activites.
