Chicken Little

A modern adaptation of the classic tale: What happens when a completely normal chicken believes everything he reads on the internet? This story is written in the present tense, because it's a good thing to learn.

The Bird and the Whale

Our first ever original story, about a bird and a whale and their shared love of little fish. Inspired by a song by Tom Waits, and an episode of Adventure Time.

The Three Little Pigs

The classic tale of shoddy building materials, DIY folly, and the perils of emparedados de tocino (a.k.a bacon sandwiches). No pigs or wolves were harmed in the making of this story.

Goldilocks and the Three Bears

Why you should probably lock your door when you go out for a walk, even if you live en medio de un gran bosque. Why are the three bowls of sopa different temperatures when they were poured at the same time? Science, is why.

Little Red Riding Hood

A deeply troubling investigation into what happens when you let your children walk somewhere alone: Caperucita Roja eats fresas, picks margaritas and talks to el Gran Lobo Feroz on the way to Grandma's house. (Warning: Contains highly improbable medical scenes.)

Stuck at home for the next few weeks with nothing to do? Here are over 80 free science ideas, including 7 games you can play over and over, to get you through - no strings attached!

Over the past ten years, we have shared loads of free science activities, free printable science games, and free science-teaching tips. Many of these use simple household materials, so they are easy to whip up on a moment's notice to fill that "I'm bored" space you now find yourself dealing with.

Here is a complete list, separated by subject.

Many of these activities will share a short mini-science lesson about the subject before you get started. All of them include an explanation of the science behind the activity.

These activities do require a few supplies, some of which you might not have sitting around your houses, such as an owl pellet or Borax. We have listed the supplies after the link (except for the round-up posts) so that you can see right away if you do have what you will need at your house.

If you see an activity that you really want to do but you don't have all the supplies, check out the following article for tips:

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The coronavirus pandemic has closed schools worldwide. Most schools are catering for home learning so that children can continue with their education despite the necessary measures. Let's take these difficult times as they come and try to focus on the positive rather than negative. Spending time at home allows you to spend some quality time with your children, which you may not have otherwise been able to have.

Below are some ideas of screen-free things you could do with your kids, during this time. Staying indoors to keep safe and healthy is imperative but it doesn't have to be boring or detrimental. After your children have finished with their e-learning tasks, read on to see what you could do with them.

1. Homemade gifts. Encourage your child to make a gift for someone or a greeting card. There are many ideas and instructions online, start searching!

2. Get baking. Bake some cakes or biscuits. Have them help you in the kitchen! Who doesn't need a great helper?

3. Reminisce. Sort through old photographs, make a scrapbook of memories. It might sound a bit old fashioned but it's so therapeutic and you get to spend quality time with your kids.

4. Organise. Get your child to sort through their belongings and throw out what they don't need. Ask them to organise their room.

5. Draw or create a family tree. Why don't you even make an art gallery at home and show of your child's artwork?

6. Chat. Let your child spend time with their friends on Skype or phone. Teenagers especially, truly feel isolated if their aren't in contact with their friends.

7. Treasure hunt. If you are lucky enough to have a garden create an exciting treasure hunt with clues and home-made treasures for your kids to find.

8. Get gardening. Show your child how to take care of plants and let them garden, too. If you live in apartment, go to your balcony plant some flowers in pots.

9. Movie time. Having a family 'film day' is a great way of spending time together watching favourite movies. To make it educational, ask your child to write a film review or draw a movie poster.

10. Show time. If your children like performing, go through carnival/halloween outfits and help them to put on a show for the family. They can even work on some literacy skills in a fun way by writing a play script and act it out.

11. Puppets. Make finger puppets and help them create their own puppet show. Make a theatre out of a box and get creative.

12. Read. Start a family book club. Discuss what your favourite characters and what part you liked best and why.

13. Picnic time. Have a family picnic indoors, on the balcony or in the garden.

14. Create. Make potato stamps, stamp paper or even a shirt.

15. Adventure time. Go camping in the garden or the living room.

16. Sports. Make your own mini-golf course in the living room. There are many online ideas you can easily recreate.

17. Homemade games. In the evenings get the kids to design a game that you can make the next day - give them ideas to keep it simple such as a paper boat race in the bath or homemade skittles using a tennis ball and empty toilet rolls.

18. Origami. All you need is paper and instructions which can be found online, will keeps kids amused and they will learn a new skill.

19. Theatre. Encourage the kids to put on a play or a magic show. They could even use the dress up with clothes and props from around the house. If you have a camera, you can even film it to watch later or for some great memories.

20. Games. Play board games and card games, I'm sure there are some lurking somewhere in the house.

Like and share this post to spread the ideas! ❤

Journal Writing Tips for Kids- See and explore ten tips guaranteed to hook kids' attention and interest in journal writing!

Journal writing helps kids to process the myriad of thoughts, feelings, and emotions they experience. It is also an excellent form of creative self-expression. But, when faced with a journal full of blank lines or with the task of remembering to write each and every day, some youngsters are simply overwhelmed and unmotivated.

You can help encourage the healthy habit of daily journal writing by your child. Simply use the following journal writing tips especially for kids.

They're guaranteed to engage a child's imagination and bring enthusiasm to their journal keeping!

Journal Writing Tips for Kids

Journal Writing Tip #1 - Silence Your Inner Critic

It's your journal and your words and however you write them down they are valuable, NO MATTER WHAT!

You can break all the rules of grammar and spelling (or follow them if you prefer). It's your choice! Either way, there is no such thing as right or wrong when journaling.

Take some time and tune in to how you feel. Do you feel like writing a lot or simply feel like writing one word? Believe it or not, even writing ONE WORD across the page IS considered journaling! When you go with the flow, your journal writing comes easily and feels great.

Choose a place where you feel safe, happy, and secure and where you feel inspired to lose yourself in your journal writing.

Use stickers, colored pens, magazine pictures, drawings, or photos to jazz up your journal. Being creative with your journal keeping makes your writing experience more colorful, exciting, and fun.

If your journal writing begins to feel like a task you must accomplish, scale back or take a break. Just remember that your journaling experience is always more enjoyable when it feels spontaneous.

Ask yourself if you like to use only words (no pictures or stickers) or if you prefer to combine writing and drawing. Maybe poetry dominates your journal or maybe your preference is to break all the rules and simply free write.

You can create a dream journal, a wish journal, or a journal of family, friends, and best moments in life. Be creative in choosing themes and if you run out of ideas you can always research new journal writing ideas online.

Celebrate, vent, accentuate, complain... it's up to you what goes on to your journal pages. Please remember though to always, always, be kind to yourself (because cruelty hurts and it makes you sad).

If it's not fun and fulfilling, chances are you'll quit writing. So jazz up your journal by giving yourself permission to try new journaling techniques. AND keep it fulfilling by focusing on a wide range of topics (not just sad or bad ones, but happy and exhilarating ones as well).

Journaling Tips Summary

All the journal writing tips in the world can only guide you, and, in the end, you must choose your style based on what works best for you.

Daily journal writing is a wonderful tool of expression for preteens and teens but they must feel invested in their writing. The best way to get them - and to keep them - invested is to encourage the free expression of their uniqueness and creativity.

Let them choose the journal writing style that best suits their personality and unique tastes and you are guaranteed that they WILL start (and continue) journaling!

Until next time, write on...

Virtual art tours through museums!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Going into a self-quarantine can have many complex issues and complications beyond having enough food and supplies for two weeks. In terms of entertainment, it also probably means you're in for a lot of boredom, a lot of Netflix, and a lot of browsing the internet.

But there is a way to get a little culture and education while you're confined to your home. According to Fast Company, Google Arts & Culture teamed up with over 500 museums and galleries around the world to bring anyone and everyone virtual tours and online exhibits of some of the most famous museums around the world..

Now, you get "go to the museum" and never have to leave your couch.

Google Arts & Culture's collection includes the British Museum in London, the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, the Guggenheim in New York City, and literally hundreds of more places where you can gain knowledge about art, history, and science. This collection is especially good for students who are looking for ways to stay on top of their studies while schools are closed.

Take a look at just some of Google's top museums that are offering online tours and exhibits.

British Museum, London

This iconic museum located in the heart of London allows virtual visitors to tour the Great Court and discover the ancient Rosetta Stone and Egyptian mummies. You can also find hundreds of artifacts on the museum's virtual tour.

Guggenheim Museum, New York

Google's Street View feature lets visitors tour the Guggenheim's famous spiral staircase without ever leaving home. From there, you can discover incredible works of art from the Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, Modern and Contemporary eras.

National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.

This famous American art museum features two online exhibits through Google. The first is an exhibit of American fashion from 1740 to 1895, including many renderings of clothes from the colonial and Revolutionary eras. The second is a collection of works from Dutch Baroque painter Johannes Vermeer.

Musée d'Orsay, Paris

You can virtually walk through this popular gallery that houses dozens of famous works from French artists who worked and lived between 1848 and 1914. Get a peek at artworks from Monet, Cézanne, and Gauguin, among others.

National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul

One of Korea's popular museums can be accessed from anywhere around the world. Google's virtual tour takes you through six floors of Contemporary art from Korea and all over the globe.

Pergamon Museum, Berlin

As one of Germany's largest museums, Pergamon has a lot to offer - even if you can't physically be there. This historical museum is home to plenty of ancient artifacts including the Ishtar Gate of Babylon and, of course, the Pergamon Altar.

Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam

Explore the masterworks from the Dutch Golden Age, including works from Vermeer and Rembrandt. Google offers a Street View tour of this iconic museum, so you can feel as if you're actually wandering its halls.

Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam

Anyone who is a fan of this tragic, ingenious painter can see his works up close (or, almost up close) by virtually visiting this museum - the largest collection of artworks by Vincent van Gogh, including over 200 paintings, 500 drawings, and over 750 personal letters.

The J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles

European artworks from as far back as the 8th Century can be found in this California art museum. Take a Street View tour to discover a huge collection of paintings, drawings, sculptures, manuscripts, and photographs.

Uffizi Gallery, Florence

This less well-known gallery houses the art collection of one of Florence, Italy's most famous families, the de'Medicis. The building was designed by Giorgio Vasari in 1560 specifically for Cosimo I de'Medici, but anyone can wander its halls from anywhere in the world.

MASP, São Paulo

The Museu de Arte de São Paulo is a non-profit and Brazil's first modern museum. Artworks placed on clear perspex frames make it seem like the artwork is hovering in midair. Take a virtual tour to experience the wondrous display for yourself.

National Museum of Anthropology, Mexico City

Built in 1964, this museum is dedicated to the archaeology and history of Mexico's pre-Hispanic heritage. There are 23 exhibit rooms filled with ancient artifacts, including some from the Mayan civilization.

Sadly, not all popular art museums and galleries could be included on Google Arts & Culture's collection, but some museums are taking it upon themselves to offer online visits. According to Fast Company, the Louvre also offers virtual tours on its website.

To see more of Google Arts & Culture's collection of museums, visit the collection's website. There are thousands of museum Street Views on Google as well. Google Arts & Culture also has an online experience for exploring famous historic and cultural heritage sites.

These days, it's completely possible to stay fit - all you need is an Internet connection and a little living room space (plus maybe a few props here and there). And it's all thanks to these seriously excellent, totally free workout videos.

We've rounded up the best YouTube workouts - we're talking everything from traditional aerobics, to ballet, to high-intensity interval training routines - so you can keep your physique in tip-top shape.

1. Quick Full-Body at Home Workout

This video is proof positive that you don't need to hit the gym - or have a ton of time or space - for a truly killer workout.

3. Luscious Legs Lottery Full Workout

4. Lift and Tone Booty Routine with Katrina

Ever since butt selfies (ahem, #belfies) became a thing, it's been clear that building the best booty is at the top of many fitness wish lists. Solution: this free workout video. Moves like kick-backs and reverse lunges build a stronger, more toned and lifted rear view. #NoFilter necessary.

5. Strong HIIT Workout for Women

The best part about working out in the age of information is that you can find a workout to suit your schedule, like this quick HIIT workout using just a resistance band and a pair of dumbbells.

Shelley Darlington's channel is hilarious, motivational, and she relies on our favorite thing to drive her points home - science. As a personal trainer, she'll work your butt off (or rather, on) and back it up with the latest studies.

6. Total-Body Sculpting Resistance Band Workout

If there's one travel-friendly workout tool, it's the resistance band. Not only does it weigh next to nothing and take up little room in your bag, it's also super versatile.

7. Chair Workout for Legs

If your travels take you somewhere with absolutely zero workout equipment, fear not! Thanks to this video, it's totally possible to work your lower half with nothing but your own body weight and a chair.

Plus, since it's just 10 minutes in length, you can squeeze this in between a rushed red-eye flight and brunch at your aunt's.

8. Full-Body Yoga Workout: Weight Loss & Toning

We're not sure what we love more, these yoga sequences or the gorgeous backdrops featured in each video, from the mountains of Nepal to the oceanside cliffs of Hawaii.

This 20-minute full-body yoga workout from Boho Beautiful proves you can train and travel at the same time - all from the comfort of your own home.

9. Reunite with Your Core Center

If you're intimated by the lingo and movements, take heart. This instructor will break everything down for you. Fans love her approachable personality and soothing voice. So soothing, in fact, you might even fall asleep during Savasana (don't worry, we won't tell anyone).

10. Strengthen Your Core: Yoga Journal to Go

With this video, she takes her expertise outside the dance studio. The 15-minute mat workout will help tone your lower body with graceful ballet-inspired movements like bridge variations.

15. 30-Minute Cardio Latin Dance Workout

16. Reggae Dance Workout by Keaira LaShae

The coronavirus is affecting many aspects of our everyday lives, but one area it shouldn't impact is your home kitchen.

Researchers are still learning the specifics of how COVID-19 is transmitted, but we do know that the disease can spread through droplets that are released from the nose or mouth when someone coughs, sneezes or exhales ― as of now, there's no evidence of COVID-19 transmission through food.

If you stock up on the right foods and the right amount of groceries, a self-quarantine doesn't have to leave you hungry. In fact, if you're healthy, it can be a chance to finally spend a few extra hours in the kitchen and master some baking recipes that you haven't had the time to tackle. After all, now you've got plenty of time to binge-watch "The Great British Bakeoff" and find some inspiration.

Moreover, it's been proved that baking can bring a host of psychological benefits, one of which is stress relief. The stress many of us are feeling right now is related to a host of mental and physical problems, and finding ways to cope with that stress is important for leading a healthy life. Baking can help with that.

Not sure what to make? Look in your pantry ― if you have flour, sugar, baking soda and baking powder, you're on the right path. Your refrigerator should already be stocked with butter, eggs and milk, the fundamentals for so many baked goods.

Now just peruse the 25 most-liked baking recipes from HuffPost Taste's Instagram account and bake away all your feelings. Take care!
