ELF(a) si-a inceput misiunea!

ELF(a) si-a inceput misiunea!

Cred ca tocmai am descoperit rolul care mi se potriveste cel mai bine: cel de Elf. Chiar si Radu, in calitate de regizor, mi-a spus ca am fata de Elf. Era un compliment, fireste. Si uite asa imbracata, m-am gandit sa le fac o surpriza copiilor sustinuti de Asociatia Touched Romania. Am simtit o bucurie in tot corpul, din talpi si pana in varful urechilor ascutite, cand le-am vazut mutrisoarele emotionate si vesele, desfacand ditamai cadoul. Asta e spiritul Craciunului.

EN: I think I just found the part that suits me best: that of an Elf. Even Radu, as a director, told me I have the face of an Elf. It was a compliment, of course. And so I dressed for the part and decided to surprise the children supported by the Touched Romania Association. I felt joy in my whole body, from my feet to the tips of my pointed ears, when I saw their excited and happy little faces, while wrapping up huge presents. That’s the Christmas spirit.

Nu e treaba usoara sa aleg un cadou pentru Vlad sau pentru alti copii. Nu intru intr-un magazin si aleg orice, la prima mana. Incerc mereu sa iau jocuri care sa ii stimuleze sau care sa ii invete sa colaboreze, sa lucreze in echipa. Orice joc, oricat de simplu ni s-ar parea noua, le dezvolta celor mici niste abilitati, pe care le vor folosi inclusiv mai tarziu, in viata adulta: logica, munca in echipa, comunicarea sau imaginatia.

De exemplu, cu noul joc de la Playmobil – Horse Farm, cei mici invata sa fie responsabili in cel mai placut mod posibil. Micutii trebuie sa aiba grija de calutii lor de la ferma, sa ii curete, sa le dea de manacare si sa ii antreneze, ca sa fie pregatiti de… Turneul Anual de Dresaj si de Sarituri! Si uite asa incepe povestea 🙂

Turneul Anual reprezinta o miza importanta. La fiecare astfel de eveniment, ferma trebuie sa fie in stare impecabila. Iar pentru asta, copiii trebuie sa schimbe apa la cai, sa ii spele (da, cu apa reala!), sa le lustruiasca seile si multe alte lucruri care “ii pun la treaba”. Pentru transportul animalelor exista Horse Boxes, un van care are loc de dormit pentru 2 proprietari de cai, si care poate sa transporte si un calut. Astfel, nicio grija, micutii vor putea aduce toti proprietarii la ferma pentru Turneul Anual. Padocul Cailor este locul ideal in care caii isi pot face incalzirea inaintea marii competitii, ajutati de unul dintre copii, in timp ce ceilalti copii pot face o plimbare cu Horse Wagon – un alt vehicul de poveste, care intregeste universul. Nu mai trebuie decat sa se decida calaretii cum vor calari anul acesta: in pozitie clasica, in picioare, stand cu spatele sau chiar stand in maini! S-au hotarat? Ferma e pregatita? Atunci declar deschis Turneul Anual de Dresaj si de Sarituri!

Si iata cum prin joaca si prin poveste copiii si-au dezvoltat vocabularul, motricitatea fina, simtul raspunderii, imaginatia si abilitatea de a lucra in echipa. Voi la ce cadouri v-ati gandit pentru copii anul acesta? Mor de curiozitate sa stiu ce le va aduce Mosul!

Dupa cum o sa vedeti in imaginile de mai jos, cadoul frumos impachetat de Elf(a) a fost un real succes. Zambetul meu era pana la urechile de Elf. Efectiv m-au topit!

EN: It’s not easy picking out gifts for Vlad or other children. I don’t just go into a store and pick out anything I see first hand. I always try to choose games and toys which stimulate them or teach them to collaborate, to work together in a team. Any game, as easy as it may seem to us, develops some abilities of theirs, which they will use later in their adult life: logic, team work, communication or imagination.  

For example, with the new game from Playmobil – Horse Farm, the little ones learn to be responsible in the most pleasant way possible. The little ones must take care of their little horses from the farm, to clean them, to feed them and train them, to be prepared for… the Annual Training and Jumping Tournament! And here’s how the story begins:)

The Annual Tournament represents a high stake. For such an event, the farm must in impeccable shape. And for this, the children have to change the water for the horses, wash them (yes, with actual water!), to clean their saddles and many other things which make them “do the work”. For the transport of the animals there are Horse Boxes, a van which can accommodate 2 horse owners, and which can also transport a little horse. Therefore, no worries, the little ones can bring all owners to the Annual Tournament. The Horse Paddock is the ideal spot for the horses to do their warm-up before important competitions, helped by one of the kids, while the others can take a ride on the Horse Wagon – another storybook vehicle, which completes this universe. All there’s left is for the riders to decide how they are going to ride this year: in the classical position, standing up, facing backwards or even doing a handstand! Have they made their decision? Is the farm prepared? Then I declare the Annual Tournament of Training and Jumps open!

And here’s how through play and stories, the kids developed their vocabulary, fine motricity, sense of responsibility, imagination and ability to work in a team. What gifts did you think of for the kids this year? I am dying to know what Santa will bring them!

As you can see from the pictures above, the gift wrapped up so nicely by the Elf was a real success. I had a big Elf smile on my face. I literally melted!

In the pictures I am wearing: Next sweater, Meli Melo hat, Tex jeans.
