Here is what Anaic, Kasimir's mother, has said, "Yesterday, Kasimir made another Land Art suddenly. After some time, he called me and said, 'Come and see my man of snails'. When I came to see his man, the snails were going away, slowly, of course, but surely! So, we replaced them again and I took photos”.

Cakes for Children: recipe of a birthday cake
At the beginning of May Soniya had her 2nd birthday. And what birthday, especially, the kid's one, without a cake?! But I did not want to buy a cake in some store (as recently I've been coming across articles and TV progs about the products which can do harm to our health) Читать дальше…

Modeling with Kids: “Rock Paintings”
As an epigraph: when I am thinking over what art (craft) we will do with Soniya (24 mo), first I try to show our daughter some unknown way of using her favourite things.
It is a period of dandelions in Soniya's life now. She is looking at them through the window, picking them up when walking. They are the only flowers I allow her to pick up in the city.
Once I brought home a piece of nature for Soniya – dandelions. And the most interesting activity started:

The Contest of Children’s Land Art Works Has Started!
I've realized in practice one more attractive aspect of creating land-art works. Imagine, you're making some picture from cones, sticks and flowers and the thought that soon someone will accidently see the created picture/sculpture, literally, takes your breath away! Will see, get surprised and, hopefully, rejoice and smile.
Recently Soniya and I were in the Kremlin again. The number of pine cones on the grass had grown because of the winds blowing for weeks on end. The initiator to "build a house from them" was Soniya (23 mo).
It was she who decided to add some sticks to our creation. The constructor of geometric figures was me and Soniya played the role of a witness and silent admirer 
The Competition of Children's Land Art Works
Richard Shilling was very happy to learn that we are conducting a contest devoted to children's land art works! Let me quote him a bit: "I see that you are now having a competition, what a great idea! I am so happy to see you and your blog readers are embracing land art and seeing how fun and educational it can be!" As it is not a real competition in the full meaning of the word (the winners will be chosen by a drawing and not by some special jury), Richard has suggested to specify, "The Festival of Children's Land Art Works".

How to Celebrate Baby’s First Birthday: a mother’s experience
The baby's first birthday is an important landmark in the child's his parents' life. We try to make the little one happy and to organize everything in such a way for the event to be a good memory. Though Soniya's and Arseny's first birthdays are left far behind, it's always interesting for us to learn how this holiday is celebrated in other families. Here is what one of our friends, mother Olga, has told us:
"The season of first birthdays has come to the yard of our house (where all the mummies walk with their babies). We've got about 20 kiddos of the same age, most of whom have got birthdays in April. So, 8-11 mummies with babies are gathering now from time to time at someone's apartment to celebrate this important date.
The First Birthday of Little Olga
From Olga's first birthday I remember: Читать дальше…
