First Day of School Cone (Schultüte) : How to Make in 7 Easy Steps
Living in a different country than where we grew up surely made hubby and I more modest and accepting to the traditions that we're not used to. As long as its not compromising to Bible beliefs, we allow the kids to participate. One of those we're used to having are school ceremonies like graduations and recognition days to mark a child's milestone in the academic aspect of his life. We don't have those here, but there is one important routine that kids look forward to. That is, receiving their Schultüte or school cone (sometimes also called Zuckertüte or sugar cone). While not a requirement, it is a fun routine that not only parents, but also grandparents, kindergarten pedagogues, ...
12 Essential Things To Do On Long Trips With The Family To Avoid Boredom
Whether you travel by plane, by train, by bus, or by car, you should consider boredom as one of the things that might hinder a smooth and fuss-free travel. This is especially true to toddlers and younger children, who have shorter attention span than bigger kids. Hunger, toilet time, the time and length of travel and also the weather should be factors to be considered, too. But bigger kids get bored too, they might have good attention span, but sitting for long hours would make them look for things to keep their hands and minds busy. You can use the long hours to teach them a thing or two - not only with being patient, but also things like bible books and characters, counting, addition, ...
Earthlings Can Reach The Moon: A Tribute
As an engineer, I'd like to give a little tribute to the first man to step on the moon, Neil Armstrong, who recently died (August 25, 2012). When I was a child, I am dreaming to become an astronaut. I ever wander what's on that moon. Wandering if there's a dragon or any creature there. I thought that humans can never reach the moon. But as I learned history, there's already a proof that humans can reach the moon. Neil Armstrong is the first proof. Thanks a lot Neil Armstrong. ...
Dear Daughter on a Theater Gig – Performing at the Akademietheater
So after her dance performance with her friends and classmates, daughter said she wanted to try theatre. Coincidentally, a friend sent a message saying that someone is looking for a kid to perform for a role of an orphan child for a play at the Akademietheater. We went to audition, and they actually took 3 kids to alternate for the role. The play would start at 8 in the evening and ends up at over 9. And there would be three performances a week. The play was called Wastwater (by Simon Stephens). While the title refers to Lake District's deepest water, the play tackles the dark side of humans and is rather not for children as it is about child-trafficking and other related sad ...
Kids Learning How To Bike, 5 Essential and Best Things to Consider
During last year's summer biking post, the little boy couldn't bike by himself yet. He joined us by riding in the bicycle trailer attached to dad's bike. He enjoyed coming with us just seeing things from the trailer, but he was surely wanting to bike on his own. We did practice with his bike that has training wheels back then too. We've been out a lot these past days so he could learn how to bike, and all those paid off as he can finally ride now. While he did stumble some, there weren't major wounds gained. ;) We've been extra careful and made sure that he is properly geared to avoid any injuries should there be untoward incidences. While we're no experts, here are some things you can ...
