BAAM! ART IN SPINACH - FOR EVERYONE FROM 9 YEARS OLD

"Baam! de l'art dans les épinards", we love not only the title, but also everything in this program proposed by France TV. Playful and very intelligent, Baam! presents in 5 minutes a major painting of the history of art. It links it to its historical context and to an artistic movement. It is very lively and well documented. We advise adults to watch it as well, in order to shine at your next (post-confinement!) dinners.
The topics covered are very varied:

  • Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper
  • Manet and his painting "The Balcony"...
  • the Sistine Madonna by Rafaello Sanzio
  • the portraits of Elisabeth Vigée Le Brun
  • Grant Wood Pioneers
  • etc...

CLASSICAL MUSIC WITH THE PARIS ORCHESTRA

We like the initiative of the Orchestre de Paris... which, in these times of confinement, continues to make the discovery of classical music accessible to as many people as possible, large or small.

FOOD ANTI-SPILLAGE: what about expiration dates!

In this period of confinement and sometimes of food restriction with the stores not always very well stocked, this article of the site Nutrition, makes a summary of the foods which we can consume after the expiration date. Useful when we have to restrict our outings to do our food shopping.


A QUICK, EASY AND ECONOMICAL CHILDHOOD DESSERT: EGGS WITH MILK.

  • For 6 to 8 people
  • 1/2 l milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 75 gr of sugar
  • Flavour (1 teaspoon of liquid vanilla or 1 sachet of vanilla sugar)
  • Cooking time: about 25 minutes in a bain marie
  • Preheat the oven (th. 6 or 180°) . Boil the milk with the sugar. In a salad bowl, beat the whole eggs. Gradually pour the boiling milk while stirring well. Add the perfume. Pour into a porcelain dish or ramekins and put the dish ( or ramekins) in a hot water bath. Cook for 20 to 25mn (as soon as the top starts to take color). Between 6 and 8 individual ramekins for 1/2l of milk.

Small ideas in bulk to get organized at home

  • Early childhood specialists advise us to structure the children's day with a schedule - to be respected as much as possible - (a more complicated one to set up with toddlers)
  • We are in an exceptional and unprecedented situation: offer your children and teenagers the opportunity to keep a small diary or journal. This will be an excellent writing exercise and an opportunity for them to express how they feel about being confined at home.
  • Make a table with activities and tasks Hopefully (let's be optimistic), this will continue after...
  • Let's support independent booksellers (put at risk with this Coronavirus crisis) by ordering our books from sites like lalibrairie.com
