Every Saturday, participants post photos based on a theme. The theme for this Saturday, January 26, 2008 is OLD-FASHIONED.

In this modern day and age, it is still important to have children play games that are fun, inexpensive and unplugged. Or in a few words: No Batteries Allowed.

Paper boats.

Objectives: paper folding involves following instructions and listening. Playing of paper boats include blowing to learn about wind as a force in making things move.

Origami. The Japanese old-fashioned art of paper-folding.

In our home, a significant amount of time is spent in front of the almost outdated pc, whether for working, for gaming or for blogging. Blogging somehow is an interest that is starting to grow with my two older children and I gave importance to internet precautionary measures as well as online ethical standards. Below is Julian, in not so clear photos, short of a few days before turning 6, writing his first post in this blog.

Julian testing his balance and stretching his body on a Thera-band Exercise Ball. He still needs to do these without holding on to something else. When on his own, his body becomes flexible but when I hold his legs for support, his body becomes as rigid as tree branches 😀

Fold some paper to make paper boats. Blow a little air and off go the paper boats on water. This is fun! We love to play!
