Try peppermint oil. It's toxic and very unpleasant to mice. Buy a few small bottles and leave them open around the place. The mice will find your...
Some things, like maths, are mostly done with workbooks and therefore need to be at a desk or table. But things like nature study, spelling,...
Ooh, I'm green with envy! The only question remaining really is... what can't be bound? I'm sure you'll push it to the limit!
I spend far too much time on this sort of stuff, but it feels so good somehow! I know exactly what you mean.
That's wonderful! And it must make your son feel so proud, too! I hope it helps him enjoy reading even more :)
