7 propuneri pentru vacanta

Pentru ca deja stiti ca Vlad este in vacanta, mi-am luat niste timp si am incercat sa pun cap la cap un program cat mai interesant si variat pentru el, asa cum va povesteam ca am in plan intr-o postare trecuta. Am mers pe la muzee – partial pentru ca e distractiv pentru el, insa, recunosc, partial pentru ca era o activitate ideala pentru o zi caniculara, cand nu era o idee buna sa stai afara. Dar azi va recomand si altfel de locuri interesante de vizitat cu copilul, plus cateva jocuri care i-au facut deja Perfectului meu vacanta mai interesanta.

 

EN: You already know Vlad is on vacation, so I took some time to put together an interesting and diverse schedule for him, like I already told you I intend to in a previous post. We went to museums- because it’s fun for him, but also because it’s an ideal activity on a hot day, when being outside isn’t a good idea. But today I recommend some different places to visit with your child, plus a few games which already made my Perfect One’s vacation more interesting.

Am descoperit de exemplu magazinul Livada cu Jucarii, care vinde o multime de minunatii din lemn. Jucariile din lemn sunt fun, arata ceva mai rustic, deci cand sunt insirate prin toate cotloanele casei sunt mai dragute decat cele din plastic, si in plus sunt sustenabile si au un impact mai usor asupra mediului. Pare pompos cand spun asta, insa avand in vedere cat de multe jucarii exista acum si cate le cumparam copiilor nostri, aceste detalii conteaza.

1. Am luat acest garaj acum ceva timp si este unul dintre cele mai interesante joculete pentru Vlad, isi petrece ore intregi jucandu-se cu el. Noua, ca parinti, ne place ca aceasta parcare etajata e foarte stabila si ca nu se desprinde in mii de bucatele micute la orice atingere. Pentru parintii traumatizati de talpi goale pe jucarii micute, este un avantaj incomensurabil.

2. Am gasit si cateva idei interesante pentru copii ceva mai mici, precum un set de construit format dintr-o multime de bucatele. Nu as putea sa spun ca unele jocuri sunt pentru fetite sau pentru baietei, pentru ca mi se pare o oferta destul de unisex. In plus, cred ca mai degraba parintii sunt cei care aleg in aceste cazuri, pentru ca la acesta varsta copiii de multe ori habar nu au daca o jucarie este de fetita sau de baietei. Pentru ei este o jucarie. Vladut avea acum un an un set de bucatarie care i-a placut la nebunie. Clar se pregatea sa  ajunga masterchef! Acum pare mai degraba ca se pregateste sa lucreze la un service auto….

3. Tot de la Livada cu Jucarii are si acest puzzle cu figurine (pietoni, biciclisti, masini), care se pot “plimba” prin oras. Grafica e foarte draguta si, stand alaturi de el, construim impreuna tot felul de povesti interesante. Iata puzzle-ul despre care vorbesc:

4. Ca activitati in afara casei va recomand Oraselul Cunoasterii, care este distractiv si pentru adulti, nu doar pentru copii! Exista peste 80 de jocuri tip experiment in care copiii trebuie sa contribuie activ, asa ca e un loc care in mod sigur merita bifat in acesta vara. Vlad incerca aici “The Marilyn Monroe Effect”…

5. Noua ne-a placut la nebunie Ferma Animalelor, de unde am facut ieri si un live pe  pagina mea oficiala de Facebook. Copiii pot hrani animalele domestice, pot merge cu poneiul, dar se pot si juca in o multime de locuri special amenajate cu trambuline gigantice, tobogane sau platforme de catarat. Unele dintre ele sunt la umbra, deci puteti petrece acolo multe ore din zi. Au si un bufet de unde puteti cumpara inclusiv mancare gatita, dar sunt si multe mese la umbra unde puteti manca in regim de “picnic” pachetelul de acasa. E genial locul! Regret doar ca nu l-am descoperit mai devreme.

6. Avem in plan sa mergem si la “In picioarele goale”, un loc recomandat de o alta Dana, prietena a acestui blog. Numele suna grozav pentru Vlad, care adora sa stea in picioarele goale, dupa cum ati vazut si in pozele noastre de vacanta. Este un loc de joaca perfect pentru petreceri aniversare ale pustilor sau pur si simplu pentru o zi de stat in aer liber si a exersa activitati fizice celebre pe vremea copilariei noastre: Tara-tara-vrem ostasi, Ratele si Vanatorii sau V-ati ascunselea. Daca nu aveti gasca de copii, nicio grija, probabil o veti gasi acolo! Indicat este sa sunati inainte, ca sa va asigurati ca spatiul nu este deja rezervat pentru vreo petrecere.

7. Si pentru ca Vlad era invidios pe Dixit, Activity si alte jocuri de-ale noastre, de curand i-am cumparat de la Carturesti (dar se gaseste si online pe mai multe site-uri) Brain Box – un joc de memorie, contratimp, pe care il jucam doar noi doi, dar si cand se aduna toata familia la noi acasa. Tragi la sorti un cartonas si, intr-un anumit timp, trebuie sa memorezi cat mai multe detalii de pe el. Apoi trebuie sa raspunzi corect la o seri de intrebari de pe spatele cartonasului. Ca jocul sa fie echilibrat, singura departajare pe care o facem e ca pe Vlad ii lasam sa se uite mai multe secunde la cartonas. Pot sa zic ca m-a surprins, are o memorie foarte buna.

Voi cum va mai tineti ocupati copiii in aceasta vacanta? Alte sugestii? Mi-ar folosi sfaturile voastre, ca iar incep sa raman fara idei!

EN: For instance I have discovered the shop Livada cu Jucarii, which sells plenty of wooden toys. They are fun, they look a bit more rustically, so when they’re scattered all around the house they look cuter than the plastic ones, and they’re also sustainable and have a lighter impact on the environment. It sounds pompous when I say this, but considering how many toys there are nowadays and how many we buy for our children, these details make a difference.

1. We bought this garage a while ago and it’s one of the most interesting games for Vlad, he spends hours playing with it. We, as parents, like that it’s very stable and that it doesn’t crumble to thousands of tiny pieces every time you touch it. For parents who are traumatized by sore feet due to tiny toys, this is a huge advantage.  

2. I also found a few interesting ideas for smaller children, like a building set. I can’t say that some toys are for girls and some are for boys, I find the offer is pretty unisex. Plus, I think it’s mostly parents who make such decisions, because at this age children usually have no idea if it’s a boy or a girl toy. To them it’s just a toy. A year ago, Vladut had a kitchen set which he really loved. He was clearly preparing to become a masterchef! Now it looks more like he’s preparing to work in an auto workshop….

3. Also at Livada cu Jucarii you can find this puzzle with figures (pedestrians, cyclists, cars), which can be “walked” through town. The graphics are very nice and, sitting by his side, we build all sorts of interesting stories together. Above you can find the puzzle I’m talking about.

4. As activities outside of your home I  recommend Oraselul Cunoasterii, which is also fun for grown-ups, not just for kids! There are over 80 experiment like games to which kids have to contribute actively, so it’s place worth visiting this summer. In the picture above, Vlad is trying out the “The Marilyn Monroe Effect”…

5. We really loved Ferma Animalelor, from where I went live with you on my  official Facebook page. Children can feed the farm animals, they can ride the pony, but they can also play in plenty of spaces equipped with trampolines, slides or climbing platforms. Some of them are in the shadow, so you can spend there as much time as you want. They also have a cafeteria where they serve cooked food, but there are also plenty of tables in the shadow, where you can have a picnic with your packed snacks. The place is brilliant! I just regret not having known about it earlier!

6. We also plan on going to “In picioarele goale”, a place recommended by another Dana, friend of this blog. The name sounds great for Vlad, who loves being barefoot, as you could see in the pictures from our vacations. It’s perfect place for anniversaries or just for being outside and practicing famous games from our childhood. If you don’t have a group of friends with kids, don’t worry, you’ll probably find one there! You should call in advance, to make sure it’s not rented for a party.

7. And because Vlad was envious on Dixit, Activity and other board games, we recently bought him from Carturesti (but you can also find it online on many sites) Brain Box – a timed memory game, which we play among ourselves, but also when the whole family is coming over.  You pick a card and you have to memorize as many details as possible from it. Then you have to answer a series of questions from the back of the card. To make it even, the only favor we do Vlad is we let him look at the card longer. I can say I was surprised, he has a very good memory.

How do you keep your children entertained this vacation? Any other suggestions? I could use your advice, because I’m already running out of ideas!
