Las actividades, de atención plena, creativas y fáciles de realizar, las disfrutarás tanto como tus hijos. Las hay cortas, largas, ruidosas y silenciosas. Laura Brand las ha puesto en práctica mientras criaba a sus dos hijos, menores de dos años, y comparte con nosotros su experiencia en cada uno de los ejercicios. Este libro te ayudará a inculcar a tus hijos lo importante que es no dejar de jugar nunca, les inyectará diversión, fomentará su atención plena y les proveerá de todo tipo de retos y manualidades para la hora del baño, las tardes lluviosas, los viajes largos o los momentos lúdicos. Y, cómo no, será tu mejor aliado para que resistan (tanto como sea posible) la tentación de pasar mucho tiempo frente a una pantalla. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION by Laura Brand showcases fifty engaging activities for creative, everyday playtime to encourage a connection to nature, sense of joy and bonding with your kids, while nurturing your own inner child too. The activities are mindful, creative and, crucially, very easy things to make and do with children that you will enjoy as much as they will. From moon sand to flower soup and nature wands there are short, long, loud and quiet activities to take you from morning to evening – each with a focus on the risk factors: volume of effort vs child engagement and mess. Laura Brand has been testing these while writing and raising her two-under-two, and shares the happy accidents and road blocks she’s hit along the way in honest, open and often funny introductions to each of the exercises. This beautiful handbook will help you to inject fun, mindfulness and craft into bath-times, rainy afternoons, long journeys and play dates and to resist (as much as possible!) the temptation to succumb to screen time. Chapters take you through the seasons, with indoor, outdoor and on-the-go activities that are easy and fun every day. The Joy Journal will arm you with a variety of fun, focussed activities made with store cupboard and easily foraged supplies that you can turn to time and again. All activities are suitable for toddlers, pre-schoolers, grown-ups and everyone in between.
