Fada Moranga loves Thumbelina!
Thumbelina
There once was a woman who wanted so very much to have a tiny little child, but she did not know where to find one. So she went to an old witch, and she said:
"I have set my heart upon having a tiny little child. Please could you tell me where I can find one?"
"Why, that's easily done," said the witch. "Here's a grain of barley for you, but it isn't at all the sort of barley that farmers grow in their fields or that the chickens get to eat. Put it in a flower pot and you'll see what you shall see."

The Very Hungry Caterpillar!
“With many of my books I attempt to bridge the gap between the home and school. To me home represents, or should represent; warmth, security, toys, holding hands, being held. School is a strange and new place for a child. Will it be a happy place? There are new people, a teacher, classmates — will they be friendly? I believe the passage from home to school is the second biggest trauma of childhood; the first is, of course, being born. Indeed, in both cases we leave a place of warmth and protection for one that is unknown. The unknown often brings fear with it. In my books I try to counteract this fear, to replace it with a positive message. I believe that children are naturally creative and eager to learn. I want to show them that learning is really both fascinating and fun.” Eric Carle

Fada Moranga loves chicken!
Once upon a time there was a little boy who had a green dream.
In his dream there used to live a chicken.
A very big chicken!
He started drawing... trying to make this dream come true.
One day, the green chicken was born.
His beloved bird had taken on a face, a shape, a place and a function:
a rocking chair!

Follow your Star!
Once upon a time there were three wise men.They were astrologers and studied the sky.
One night, they saw a very bright star.
It was twinkling much more than the other stars.
This was a different star.
Suddenly, the Star moved... and stopped.
And again, it moved... and stopped.
The three wise men had been studying for many years,
and so they knew that something special was happening.
Baby Jesus was born!
They were very excited and decided to followed this playful Star. It would lead them to the Baby.
The three wise men travelled a long way on camels,
carrying precious gifts for the Baby.
One night, the Star stood still.
Bright as ever, it was pointing the spot... the manger
where baby Jesus and his parents were staying.
The three wise men ran to meet the Baby and stood in adoration. It was a magic night!

Each January 6th, we celebrate these three wise men, who studied the sky, and call it Astrologer's Day. They have taught us that great blessings come to our life if we follow what we believe in. Have faith and follow your Star!

A tree named Trad!
click to enlargeTrad 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.

Learning the Chakras!
Chakras are our energy centers. A Chakra is like a spiral of energy, each one relating to the others. Chakra (pronounced sha-kra) is the Sanskrit word for ' wheel '.
If you can imagine the main chakras / energy centres as a set of cogs/wheels, they are rather like the workings of a clock or an engine; each cog /wheel needs to move smoothly and at a similar speed for the clock / engine to work properly.
Thus good health and well being is achieved by a balance of all these energies (or the smooth running of the cogs/wheels). Click here and here to learn more about the chakras.
Chakra Energy Yoga Game

Learn the name, location, color, and symbol of each chakra and how it relates to you in your life.

Celebrating the world of Teletubbies!
(click to enlarge) The Teletubbies have been around since 1997! They live in a magical world where they have everything they need. They love each other very much and love to share Big Hugs.
Teletubbies love their house (it is called the tubbytronic superdome, but Teletubbies can't say that). The Teletubbies' house is full of tubbytronic technology making all kinds of funny technological noises. The Teletubbies are "at home" with all the tubbytronic technology in their house and operate it with a joy and confidence.
Just as real children relate to other children the Teletubbies love to watch children playing and their television tummies are a gateway between the two worlds.
