If we were wizards

Hopefully.

When you live near kids then
 you will believe that everything is possible.

Eg than if everybody has the same dream

 at the same time surely it will be real.

Hopefully.

CELEBRATION OF PEACE
by Damaris Gelabert


If you had the magic of a wizard 
the bullets would be flowers
the rifles as trombones and bassoons
and the thunders as love poems.

If you had the magic of a wizard
the appetite would be wheat 
the cannons as giant binoculars
and the tanks as Ice cream trucks.

If you had the magic of a wizard 
the soldiers would be clowns
the lieutenants as paper birds
as ballerinas or towers.

If you had the magic of a wizard
the mines would be the dice
the bombs as the juggling
and the crows as doves of peace.

You can also work lyrics
helping you with images as proposed 

by School Empúries de L'Escala

If it were that easy to redraw in the real world like in the virtual

then it would suffice the art and the genius of the animators.

Hopefully.

The worst enemy

Sometimes the worst enemy is your own fear.
Life teaches you but it's hard to explain in words.
This great animation can give you an intuition.

if the protagonists had guns that were lethal.

Translation  Icelandic Song by Sigur Ros

"Blue Night Over The Sky"

Blue Night Over Me

Dis-appeared through the window

with my hands

hidden under my cheek

I think about my day

yesterday and today

I put the blue nightdresses

go straight to bed

I pull the covers over Soft

Close My Eyes

I hide my head under the covers

A Little Elf stares at me

runs to me, but does not move

Location - Same

A Elf Looking

I open my eyes

Take exit crusts

stretch and check (if I have)

turned over and all is well

still missing something

as all the walls

Your reflection in the mirror and your spatial orientation

If you play with a mirror can have fun with your image.

Curiosly your image in the mirror does the same as you.

This will help you have a good mental awareness of your body.

If you are lucky enough to play together surely will be a moment
 to be remembered like in this cute video.


Espejos from Daniel Hayek on Vimeo.

It can be very entertaining if you also use 

dresses and hats that you find at your home.

This is a way to practice to dress yourself.

Also note that your image moves to the right when you move the left,

and vice versa, your image moves to the left when you move to the right.

Your image is a bit naughty and can joke with your laterality.

Do not be fooled by the mirror.

In this great video you can see a thousand chances to play with the mirror.


El Espejo tiene 1000 Caras from Juan Pablo Zaramella on Vimeo.

If you do not have a mirror you can play "the mirror friend".

  It is played between two, one moves and the other

 must copy because it is his reflection.

  It is important to focus on that when you move your right arm,

 your reflection must  move left arm and vice versa. 

Thus  your laterality and your spatial orientation
 improve in a fun way.

The Human Body

You can make a human body craft with cardboard and paper.
Your imagination and good information
will be your best orientation.

There's a handmade "demo video" for Tinybop's Human Body App
 which teaches kids about how body systems function.

It's really funny if you draw yourself.

Someone can mark your body 

   while you are lying  on the floor above a paper.

Making soap

Our crab has learned to make soap and wants sharing it.

If don't throws used oil in the sink then you helps to nature a bit.

Just needs a good strainer to spend the oil after cooking.

Then mix in a bucket with liquid caustic soda helped for an adult.

You must use gloves and mufflers because soda is  strong.

Now you can stir with a wooden paddle until to have right texture.

The mix should be like a good mayonnaise.

You can pour into the mold and let stand until the next day.

Making soap from FLYKIT on Vimeo.

 It is very efficient as a detergent. You could also add scent drops.

If you will not recycle the used oil take it to a suitable location.

In this video from Belgium is clearly explained the situation.

Dandelion song

The dandelion is usually the favorite plant  of children.

 TRANSLATION   "DANDELION"

I saw free bird flying in the blue sky below

No one can tell me how vast the world

I am leaving the wind to go the distance like a flower clouds

I am leaving the wind to leave this familiar place

I was the strongest wind in my flying dandelion

Sunlight can reach places I could grow

I want to fly like the wings of the wind is my flower clouds to go the distance

I want to fly the wings of the wind I leave this familiar place

Oh direction toward the spring sun light dancing across

Oh happy and like a flower so I stopped at the most beautiful place
