We love screen time, you know that. We believe screens are a great tool when it comes to learning. We’ve said it before, we say it now, we’ll say it again in the future. (more…)
It’s time we stopped the war on broccoli. Let’s leave behind all those fights over eating all the greens. Let’s try to make our kids love veggies as much as we do.
But… do we really like veggies, though?? (more…)
You struggle with sending your kid to sleep every day? You are not alone. At all. Personal experience moment: before having a kid, I used to look at my cat sleep and think “so boring… my cat is always sleeping, I want to play with him”. Now I have a child and I just wish he were a bit more like my dear cat.
Anyway, let’s start off with the basics… (more…)
As we’ve said before, kids like to express their most creative selves in many different ways. Some of them are OK, some of them are a bit of a pain in the neck inconvenient, like painting on walls.

You’ll just need one thing: chalkboard paint. (more…)
Let’s start off by explaining what active learning and passive learning mean, and then we’ll move onto what’s best for your kid. Simple, to the point. So unlike our other posts. (more…)

Toddlers and kids love making things with their hands. That’s a fact. Whether it’s something harmless like making shapes and “snakes” out of playdough, or something a bit more inconvenient, like expressing “their deepest thoughts” by grabbing some paint and using the walls as canvas –something we will talk about very soon, by the way –. Since we’d all rather they picked the former option, we’ve thought it would be cool to share with you this super easy homemade playdough recipe.
In most cases, kids learn to walk, jump and run without much encouragement needed. We could say they learn to do that without giving us enough time to assimilate it. One day they crawl, the next day they are running like crazy with their nappy around their head and chocolate all over their face. (more…)
