Bulldog clips add a weight to the wire and will cause it to hang down, consider this in your measurements.
We have a french theme in Kalia’s nursery, so I spelled LOVE YOU with these French vintage designed flashcards.
Kalia loves to point at the cards, I oblige (she has me trained well) and read the words to her- and she HYSTERICALLY laughs. I say the words all silly and probably definitely wrong, and I think she knows and I suspect she is laughing AT me, not with me. So I have to say, the French was a great choice for our family!

It seems that the French flashcards are no longer working… Do you know of any other way to access them? Thank you!
The link to the last one is not working. Do you happen to know the name of the source website?
