How to keep your kids occupied

Posted by Bogdan on February 19, 2010 | 3 Comments

It is told that everybody loves kids. Who doesn’t like kids, it’s probably because they drool, and poo and spit their food. I personally don’t like kids for the reasons I mentioned.  Once they past that disgusting period, I start to like them. For certain reasons, of course: they tell things that you wouldn’t expect from a small creature like that. Things that you discovered so recent in your .. 20, 30, 40 years of life.

But once they know they can get your attention by saying a lot of things, that you mind find interesting, they won’t stop. FOR NOTHING!!! They will talk with you all day long. They will ask you questions about tv producers, how they were made, the difference between girls and boys etc. You’ll buy them a lot of toys to keep them occupied, but it won’t last for long: soon they’ll ask you how the toys were made and why the soldiers are green and why boys wear blue and girls pink.

Stand Up SwingI found recently that a good way to keep them occupied, for a longer time, is to install them a swingset.  If you have a garden and you can set up a small space for your kid, go to a playground equipment store, or consider viewing an online store, where you can choose from a large number of swing sets: porch swing, stand up swings, gliders, buoy ball swings. If you don’t have the necessary budget, you can do one yourself: get an old tire, hook it up to a large branch with a solid chain and there you go: you just made a tire swing.

If you get jealous with your kids, don’t worry, you can always find bigger ones for adults.

        Urban benches with multiple functions

        Posted by Bogdan on September 6, 2009 | No Comments

        Created by international designer Alfredo Häberli for BD Barcelona, The Swiss benches series is a collection of public benches that are offering extra functions (besides seating).

        The are five types of benches:

        • El Poeta (the poet) for people who want to eat or write;
        • there is El Banquero (the banker) where you can stand at one side (as bankers do all day) or quickly eat a sandwich;
        • for people who need quiet and visual calm, but not alone so they can chat is El Filosofo (the philosopher);
        • El Solitario (the loner) is for people who prefer to be alone;
        • for couples it’s La Pareja (the couple) where you can stay with that special person without anyone having a chance of sitting between you two.
