Babel School in Taiwan

- How did you like like the exhibit? - I asked my 7-year-old. - A lot! - was her answer. - What did you like the most? - EVERYTHING!

Unfortunately she was too small to watch the Smurf movies when they were in the cinemas. Smurf with Pearl Milk Tea  Smurf with chopsticks There is even a large playroom with a few fun games for the kids: Here kids can watch Smurf cartoons:  There is also an interesting part of the exhibit about the French creator of the cute blue creatures, Peyo.

Each book is full of stories of famous women from different times in history. ✫ Another book from the "Usborn...

Kilka lat temu Zosia zrobiła z Jasiem "sweet sushi": A w zeszłym tygodniu pomogłam Ani zrobić "słodki ramen": Instrukcja wykonania była jedynie w języku japońskim, gdyż przywieźliśmy tę paczkę z Japonii. Na Tajwanie można również kupić te zestawy i mają one wtedy przepis po chińsku. Ciekawa jestem czy słodkie mini-dania dotarły już do Polski. Może wiecie? W paczuszce znajdujemy plastikową tackę, którą należy pociąć na mniejsze pojemniczki, 3 torebeczki z różnymi proszkami, pustą plastikową torebkę, widelczyk, wykałaczkę i paczuszkę czegoś, co okazało się rozpuszczalną gumą do żucia. 1. Wyrabiamy gumę do żucia i oddzielamy dwie małe kuleczki i dwie większe. Małe kuleczki mają być wielkości małych kółek na pustej torebce plastikowej. Większe należy rozpłaszczyć by były wielkości dużego koła na tej torebce. 2. Wycinamy foremkę do pierogów. 3. Na foremkę kładziemy okrągły pla...
