Frequently asked questions.

I guess this my first "real" blog entry. A lot of you have been asking about me. Though this is not an about my life per say, these are a compilation of the most common questions I get on a daily basis. I decided to write everything down and hopefully you find some of this interesting. Hopefully in the future I do want to blog about me :) and why I do what I do, but for now here is a little about me.

as my main languages at home and also
can speak Portuguese, Italian, Some Arabic

I am a bit camera shy, plus I want my channel
to be about my crafts not about me.
in the future perhaps I will have a channel about myself,
Islam, cooking and travel.

16- Why is the video counter different
from the amount of videos?
My channel hosts 3 sites, simplekidscrafts.com,
artsandcraftstv.com and muslimkidstv.com.
because some material is meant for the other

you will see a different count than the amount
of videos that really exists. currently the
counter shows 500+ when in reality there
are over 700 videos.
