Sprunki

It’s really hot recently so Sakura and I are spending a lot of time indoors. In America and Japan there are characters from a game called Sprunki that has become super popular. My daughter loves them and it has made her very interested in playing music. In this game, when you choose a cute character they make a sound. If you have many of these cute characters their sounds become music. My daughter always ask me to teach her how to play these sounds on the piano. So she will make a song with her Sprunkis, then will try to teach her it on her mini keyboard. Sprunki can be scary sometimes, but the music they make is always very interesting and I think this game is a fun way for Sakura and I to spend time together indoors.

Happily,
Eric
