I found a great and simple site where my daughter (nearly 4) can do what she really likes: coloring.

Coloring is a very simple site where you can find a lot of interesting and beautiful drawings to color. Coloring is done by choosing the color we want and then pressing the area we want to color. It’s excelent for small kids because the coloring area is already defined and at a distance of one click.

Although I don’t want her to spend too much time only due to her young age, I let her color once in a while. She already has control of the mouse and can change the color of a zone if she doesn’t like to result.

Saturday it was the big party. Many things were prepared the night before and Saturday morning I just had to prepare the table with all the necessary things for a a kids party. I bought some thematic plates and napkins, WWE for the boys and Hello Kitty for the girls.

Pizza was a “must” in the table and well appreciated by all kids. Jelly, cakes, sweets, lollipops, fruit salad, etc. etc. etc..

There were 26 kids in the house, they behaved quite well (not mentioning the water balloons bursting on top of some of them), the overall result was a positive one. Although some of them where kind of “violent” while playing, no one got insured. As the house is big they were able to split themselves among the rooms, some where in the computer, some in the PS2, some in the living room watching TV and others in the play room. We had a sunny day so they were also able to have some fun outside.

Here is the photo of the cake:

Again a picture from the same soccer club but with one player.

He received many gifts, from clothes, books, toys, PS2 game, etc. Here is a picture of some:

The kids had a great time and my son had a really happy day. I’m glad for that.

This is the Portuguese version for the game: BUZZ Jr.! Jungle Party Bundle

This game is absolutely funny and is good for all family member. My husband is not very fond of video games but he has already played it.

Usually we prepare a sofa for Dani, Catherine and myself and the three of us have a great time playing the game. I give Catherine a little help once we have to have fast fingers and we always laugh a lot specially when the monkeys receive with a coco or a electric shock. It’s really funny.

These are my son’s favorites. These are what we call “Tennis with wheels”. He can walk with them but he can also use the wheels and it seems he is on top of a skate. He can move really fast with them.

Imagine when we go to a coffee shop or the supermarket and he just rolls along the corridors leaving us behind.

He had ones once two year ago but we were too afraid that he could fall and we hide the wheels…where we don’t know. This years he was always talking about them and my SIL and BIL offer them to him as a Christmas gift.

My daughter’s most used present is this one:

dscf0015.JPG

This is a multifunction table with a small stool. All items you see were included in the package:

  • Color pencils
  • Wax pencils
  • Several color inks
  • Rulers with numbers, letters, images
  • Several cups with Play-Doh in several colors
  • Puppets to play with Play-Doh
  • blank sheets to color

If you lift the top of the table you will find a kind of drawer to put blank sheets and other items you want.

This was really a good choice and worth the money.

This Chalkboard or a similar one is probably one of the presents I will give my daughter as a Christmas gift. Besides the chalkboard, it also works as a dry eraser board and since my daughter loves to draw and paint this will be a good choice.

This chalkboard is made of wood, has a paint try with cup holders in several colors , a tray to put eraser, clips or chalk. Everything will be in the right place and the kids can have fun painting as many pages as they want.

The easy load paper is not included as well has the paint cups.
