Insects sensory bin 🐞🦗🐝

Today we discovered many insects and bugs in our sensory bin. JJ thoroughly analyzed them with a magnifying glass 🕵️‍♂️, while Eli played with the dirt (aka threw the beans all over the balcony 😂).

After that we checked each of the insects and read interesting facts about them… did you know that bees have 5 eyes?!? 😅

Egg pattern matching puzzle 🐣

JJ is not a big fan of puzzles, but he enjoyed this activity 😍.

Some of the egg patterns are similar, increasing the difficulty level 🧐, but having only 6 made the challenge attainable 🎯

When in lockdown… grow some salad 🥬✅

This is day 5 of total lockdown in Shanghai (not allowed to go outside the apartment/ no deliveries)…

We found some salad seeds from last year and decided it was a great time to plant them. The best time would have been a month and a half ago 😂.

JJ loved to dig the dirt and water the seeds and wants now a bigger garden 👨🏻‍🌾. Let’s see about that 😅.

An activity that JJ enjoyed: collage / vision board 😆

First he cut some pictures from a magazine, then he picked the ones he liked the most and glued them to a piece of paper. Of course he also wrote his name and I helped him write CAR 💯.

We spent a good 20 minutes on it and considering how little he usually concentrates in crafts/arts/painting activities… this was a super long timeframe 💪🏼.

What is your kid’s favorite sit down activity? 🤔

🏴‍☠️ The good pirates’ ship 🏴‍☠️

We are in pirate mode these days.

Today we built from Duplo one pirate ship and a normal ship. JJ is very found of the idea of pirates but doesn’t like that they are actually bad guys and they are stealing 😂

So in our game, after the pirates stole the gold, they invited the poor guys over for a coffee and a hang out 😂

JJ, you kind soul ❤️

This morning I’ve received 3 “mărțișoare” from my 3 boys 🥰.

Mărțișor is celebrated in Romania on the 1st of March. It’s name comes from the Romanian word for March: Martie.

The mărțișoare are the white and read silk threads tied into a bow, from which little trinkets, mostly symbols of spring or good luck are tied.

The mărțisor is received by women or girls from family or friends and are worn onto clothes (attached with a pin) in the first week of March, to bring luck, health and prosperity for the following year.

This is one of the Romanian traditions I love the most. ❤️

La mulți ani de Mărțișor!!!

Also… where is my husband hiding his stash of mărțișoare?!? 🧐

Negative printing of door decorations for Chinese New Year🏮

We are one week away from Chinese New Year! Shanghai is already beaming in red decorations, so it was time we also had our door decorations done 😊.

For CNY, people usually decorate the sides of the doors with couplets, good wishes for the next year. This was our attempt of the traditional black writing on the red paper.

To make this activity kids friendly, I’ve cut out the characters from pieces of paper, then I’ve fixed with sticky tape the cut out paper on top of our red craft paper. Using a wide brush, JJ helped paint the characters 👨🏻‍🎨 (he did almost one 🥳).

After the paint dried out, I’ve removed the white paper and… success! ☺️ our new year wishes are on the door 🤩

Year of the Tiger bring it on! 🐯

This was thought as a painting activity to draw circles… but as most of our other art activities… It was all about mixing those colors 🤪. More creative, right? 😅 ___ JJ is 3 and a half here ___ #activitaticopii #kidsactivities #shanghailockdown2022 #happyplayfulkid #kidspainting #kidspaintingactivities #toddlerlife #artactivityforkids #kidsartactivities #learningthroughplay #learningathome #playfullearning #momofboys

Baby puzzle time! 🧩 All the peg puzzles that we have are for bigger kids… so we created our own 💪🏼. Made from cardboard and some pom poms (for easier grip), it was a good excercise for those little fingers 🤏🏼🧐. More practice is needed, but was fun 😁. ___ Eli is 11 months here ___ #activitaticopii #kidsactivities #babyplay #babyactivities #diybabyplay #diybabytoys #happyplayfulkid #learningthroughplay #finemotorskills #finemotoractivity #shanghaifamily #shanghaikids #cardboardtoys #recyclecreateplay #recycleandplay
