(That was just one of those cute moments that I had to take a shot of, he doesn't know how to play at this age, two.) I am no expert in child psychology but I think it wise that kids must not be let early on to play video games, not earlier than when they can read or write. Sure there are a lot of educational games for kids but there are instances that you cannot monitor what they are doing on a game console. I bet you'll agree that kids nowadays learn much faster than us when we were their age...and I speak from experience. I had to ask my then 4-year-old (in photo, he's 5 now), how to record on my iPhone. :D He gets to tinker with the recorder a lot because he loves to sing and records ...
Kids at Play
Playmobil Funpark, Germany, Big Fun With The Big Stuff
Playmobil, is Lego's counterpart created in Germany. (The former being Denmark's brainchild.) Just like Lego, Playmobil figures and sets - which could be assembled and disassembled help kids develop creativity thus widening their imagination. Playmobil figures are dressed up according to the profession they represent; doctors, nurses or construction worker...the list goes on. Each figure is 7.5cm and easy to put together...having no names, kids are entitled to give them one and create their own figures. We visited Playmobil Funpark recently...a 3rd time for my two older kids and the first time for the little boy. He was surprised with the gigantic figures that were to be seen everywhere. ...
Fishing Fun – 5 Important Things to Prepare For and 4 Top Things Kids Learn
An activity that doesn't come by so easy for us is catching fish. Fishing fun, as the kids would say, happens (may or may not because of the weather) when we go to Germany to visit Oma and Opa. Aside from the thrill of actually catching fish, the trip to a river in itself is exciting. It's a good thing, all 3 kids like to be outdoors, be out in the sun, play in the fields, and I hope they stay so for long. As mentioned, this is an activity that we seldom do, so there really isn't much to say except maybe the things you learn from the experience. But before we tackle those, let's also include some tips to do before you go. Things to do Before Fishing Fun Before heading off, check ...
Angry Birds Plush Toys
My husband and kids enjoy the Angry birds game...I tried playing it too but I promised myself I won't get hooked with games anymoreso I did play just to know how it goes. ;) Photo above was play-edited by hubby...he doesn't want the pigeons around our balcony so he bought that rifle to shoo them.. So while at the city of Nürnberg we passed by a comic shop...the kids saw some Angry Birds plushies and asked dad to buy them...Daddy can't say no - he always wanted these and has been looking for them online...good thing that they cost lesser here than in Vienna. :D We got 2 for 20 - the red bird is nowhere to be found so we'll have to look for it again... So this is what happens when you ...
Freebies – Alvin and the Chipmunks
The good thing about Happy meals would be; the toys that come with it. ;) I am not too happy with the kids eating fries, chicken nuggets or burgers...but the toy comes only with Happy meals so I'd often order salads along. Sometimes you can buy them...but for 2€ a piece? No, thank you! This Alvin and the Chipmunks set is one of the many toys they got from McD's. I saw this photo from my iPhone which was setup and taken by my older son. I have lots of such photos. ^_^ Here's a related story about the movie. -- for: ...
Boating Time
We went on a bike tour around the Danube island and a boating trip round the Danube (even on a cold summer day, weird!). Above photo would be hubby and I (accidentally looked away), dawty and a younger friend. We went in two groups so all my photos include the other boat, #41 --- their photos have mostly ours- boat # 52. Despite the cold, there were lots of us boating, sailing and pedal boating. I usually would just take shots of these sails the past months from the train - driving by. So I took photos to my heart's content - the water, the view, the sky, all the sails around and swans. So that's boat #41 - white, ours is red and both teams really had fun. Wondering where my two boys ...
