Fada Moranga loves SamSam!

Meet SamSam,

the smallest of the superheroes!

He lives in SamPlanet

and flies his own SamSaucer into space.

He also deals with dirty-rotten monsters!

Okay, he doesn't quite yet have super powers.

Sometimes he does need a little help from his cuddly SuperTeddy, his friends, SamMummy or SamDaddy.

THE CREATOR
Serge Bloch

"What amuses me, is amuse everyone else.

I am an amuser.

I want to make people smile with pleasure more than roar with laughter.

Creating means preserving the child in yourself.

Children are born creators, and drawing is a natural means of expression for them.

When I was small, my brothers and sisters played music.

I drew. They said I drew well."

Celebrating Charles Darwin!

Once upon a time there was a little boy who collected birds' eggs and sea shells, beetles and coins, moths and minerals. He wasn’t a very good student, school just bored him. He had some difficulties in memorizing but he never tired of studying the details of the natural world. He was born in Shrewsbury, a rural town in England and he spent hours watching birds and lying under the dining-room table, reading.

As a teenager, he was thrilled by chemistry, biology, botany and geology. His father wanted him to be a doctor. But as he studied at the University of Cambridge, his teachers recognized his potential. Finally, his true talent for natural history blossomed.

One day he was invited to join a ship called Beagle for a trip around the world. It was time to follow his dream! He went as the ship's naturalist and for most of the next five years, the Beagle surveyed the coast of South America. He was free to explore the continent and islands, including the Galapagos and he filled dozens of notebooks with careful observations on animals, plants and geology, and collected thousands of specimens, which he sent home for further study.

Darwin later called the Beagle voyage "by far the most important event in my life," saying it "determined my whole career." By the time he returned, he was an established naturalist, well-known in London for the astonishing collections he had sent ahead. The Beagle voyage would provide Darwin with a lifetime of experiences to think about and the seeds of a theory he would work on for the rest of his life.

Charles Darwin was born on February 12th, 1809 and this week we celebrate his 200th birthday!

A tree named Trad!

click to enlarge

Trad is not only a storage system, Trad is a shelter, a personal space where children carry out their fantasies and games. A place that allows them to feel safe, to learn and to imagine. That enchanted wood where one can dream of heroes and princesses, witches and dragons... and live a thousand and one adventures.

The tree, as an icon for wisdom, shelter and playground, symbol of life and growth. Approach to an increasingly absent nature, as a comeback to traditional games, towards imagination development, with no artifices, as a basis for the growth of the child's personal world. Designed by Josue Gamonal and Vicente Porres from Madrid, Spain.
