Homemade snow

Handmade mug holders or glass mats

Hi everyone!

 Although this would have been a great idea as a Christmas gift, we actually just made the mats for fun, as I had the woden mats around for some time and was trying to find an amusing way for Aleksandar and Pau to use them.

 Vam comprar les bases de fusta en un basar, a molt bon preu. Crec que feia prop d'un any que les tenia per casa sense fer-les servir.

 Els reis ens han portat pintura i pinzells nous, o sigui que un més un, i let's go!

 Basics such as playdough ( plastelina), paint ( pintura), scissors and paper, are a must at our house. Stickers and bits and pieces are always welcome, and will eventually find a way to be used.

Aleksandar choose to paint one colour each mat. 

Pau on the other hand, was happy to experiment and mix!

L'únic que ens falta es potser posar una capa de vernís a sobre les bases per tal d'allargar la seva vida útil.

 As the weather gets a bit cold, and we tend to stay at home more often, I will be posting more indoor activities.

 Have fun and enjoy!

Family excursion - Poblet and La Roca de l'Abella

 Hello everyone,

  Last week we went on a little excursion, to a nearby picnic area called "La Roca de l'Abella", just a few kilometres away from Poblet, and near Riudabella. 

 It is a beautiful place, although due to the hot and dry weather, we were not able to see much water around, so we will be back in the autumn for more!!

 It is a short walk ( less than 1 km) which makes it easy to do with little children. Both our boys loved picking up LEAVES (FULLES), BRANCHES (BRANQUES), STONES (PEDRES), BLACKBERRIES (MORES), MOSS (MOLSA) and FLOWERS (FLORS). We will show you next week the activity we have planned to do with all this. It will be our MOUNTAIN JAR.

Here you have some pics 

 The reason we chose this excursion was because two years ago I discovered a great newsletter/web/blog managed by a family and for families. It has this wonderful newsletter, with all kind of useful and interesting ideas and suggestions about what to do and see with children in our local area, Tarragona province. It is called EXPLORA TARRAGONA and it has also been publishing some fantastic books full of excursions, not only in the Tarragona area, but also in other areas such as the Ebre and central Catalonia. Please visit and subscribe, they have info in Catalan, Spanish and English, and regular updates.
