With Tokyo's public places closure requirements lifted, the Tokyo Tower will open again tomorrow 🗼
However, in order to reduce close contact and infections, lifts are only open to the elderly and the disabled, others will have to take the outdoor staircase with 600 stairs
In addition to preventing the disease, it can also make everyone exercise, and have a chance to witness the poster of EVA's new movie poster in person. It's better than taking the elevator 😃👍
Are you ready for the motherload?
WE ARE ON DAY 18 of self-quarantine and still really like each other! Here are some of our favorite play ideas that we've loved doing as a family and independently.
WE GOT THIS, MAMAS!!!
***
SENSORY
***
Oobleck (cornstarch + water)
Playdough (recipe saved under my highlights on ig @rachealkwacz)
Simple dough (flour + water)
Slime (recipe on ig!)
Organic slime (psyllium husk + water heated up)
Ice (add water, add salt, add food coloring, freeze it w a toy inside, the list is endless!)
Baths (bubbles, bath bombs, "swimming", use your sand toys, kitchen tools, etc)
Sily putty
Blutak
Clay
Mud (soil and water)
Clean mud (shredded paper + soap shavings + water)
Shredded paper
Newspaper
Jello
Rice
Barley
Beans
Lentils
Shaving cream
Sand
Salt
*Food sources are a precious commodity at the moment (we haven't been to a grocery store!) so we've really been conserving all our dry goods for however long we might need to quarantine for which means we're really rotating between just a few things (water, soil, slime, etc) so don't worry about having to come out with something new everyday. They are honestly happy to play with the same medium, it allows them to come out with different creations and explore deeper!
***
MOVE
***
Dance party
Yoga
Zumba
Stretch
Hide and seek
Treasure hunt
Obstacle course
Balls
Balance board
Bubbles
Jump rope
Bicycle

Stairs
Jumping on the bed

ARTS & CRAFTS
***
Coloring - there are a ton of cool printables including a very fun one from sereni & shentel
Paint
Paper mache - glue w paste made from cooked flour and water
Markers
Cards
Stickers
Glue
Cutting
Different textures of paper
Cardboard painting
Honestly, Ella Grace has a little art table so she really just leads this. We just make the materials available for her and she comes out with some gems! My best advice however is for painting or anything that's "messy", let them paint in the shower! We strip her down, she paints on the glass to her heart's content, the clean up and hosing it down is part of the fun then a shower after! No stains on clothes, no worrying about wet paint or where to hang all the artwork later and best of all, minimal clean-up!
***
ROLE PLAY
***
The sky is the limit on this one and honestly, the world (or anything she can find within our four walls) is her oyster
Dress-up
Costume jewelry
Blanket - she has a soft bamboo muslin wrap from when she was little that she uses for everything. It's probably her most used toy in the house she plays w it so much - cape, hat, skirt, scarf, etc
Forts - use flat sheets or blankets and pillows and see what you can build with what you have!
Cardboard - build a robot suit or an entire landscape!
Restaurant - there's an instruction leaflet from a game that Ella Grace likes to use as a "menu" which again goes back to…use your imagination! You don't have to have a "kitchen" to play cooking!
Salon - hair, facials, manis, pedis, even daddy gets to have a go!
Construction - one of our favorite things to do is just build. We recycle old egg cartons, boxes, packaging materal, magnatiles - Bueno Blocks has an incredible selection of open-ended toys!
Real life - honestly this the best and total win-win! She helps me cook, cut, prep, mop, sweep, vaccuum, make beds, wipe, clean, etc and is actually a really big help!!
***
ETC
***
Reading (she does a lot of this both independently and together as a family)
Writing/activity books - this is really optional. Our ethos is play is learning and learning has to come from within so we don't push "school" at all. She has a bunch of workbooks gifted from various places that she likes to take out and work on whenever and we just allow it to be part of free play and because it's not a "chore" she loves it
Pretend cooking show!!
Podcasts (refer to previous post for our extensive list of favorites!)
TV time - she has set tv time while I make dinner and her favorite programs are Hi-5, The Wiggles, Fireman Sam, Paw Patrol! We also do movie night once a week and it includes snacks and lots of cuddling!
Gardening - grow a little patio/balcony garden. We planted some cilantro roots and sprouted onions!!
Friendship bracelets
Make a jumprope!
Learn a new language or skill
Picnic on your balcony if you have one or a pretend picnic in your living room!
Balls - seriously, there are so many things you can do w ball! Ella Grace had an entire afternoon of fun and made-up games by herself with just a little wooden ball and basket.
Mostly, just remember this. It's okay if they get bored. In fact, allow them to be. Remember the ball and the basket story? She had so much fun because we've actively allowed her to just explore, be creative, be bored, use her imagination, and not micromanage or set up all her play for her. The key to surviving and even thriving(!) isn't to plan out every second of their day, the key to surviving MCO is to trust her and allow room for adventure and fun. Be flexible. Freedom within boundaries, mama.
The only way through is to do it together and sometimes that means having her play by herself while I work and the other times, it means really checking in, being present, and playing along with her!
That's the secret.❤
Share the love with your mama tribe! xx
迷樣山城😍😍有看過這樣的九份嗎？
今天，我要搭乘台灣觀巴，去一個非常迷人的山城－九份！
Today, we are using the Taiwan Tour Bus to go to a stunning town up in the mountain called Jioufeng.
2016-2017 Episode 17 Taipei Cultural Antiquities Walking Tour (2) 九份走透透(新北市)
Transcript 影片文字稿：
九份是瑞芳區的一個小聚落，西元1893年發現黃金之後，最多高達三、四千戶人家居住在這裡。為了就是來這裡淘金。
Jioufeng use to be a small gathering area for the people of Rueifang. In 1893 at least 3000 to 4000 people gathered here once gold was found in this area.
這裡開採黃金的坑道共有10個，每個相隔海拔100公尺，這是第九個坑道，叫做國英坑。
There is a total of 10 tunnels dugout during the gold rush. Each 100 meters apart. This is the 9th tunnel called TaiYang Ninth Tunnel.
這座山城當年因淘金熱而興起，曾經有過一段璀璨的黃金歲月，這些廢棄的坑道，現在都已經封閉了，遊客只能在外面拍拍照，想像當時的盛況。
This village created by the gold rush was very prosperous but now these abandoned tunnels are all restricted areas, tourist can only take pictures outside and wonder what it was like during the rush.
雖然圓不了黃金夢，但我們可以來吃吃〝黃金球〞，其實，這是九份最有名的小吃，叫做芋圓，黃色的是蕃薯口味的...嗯～ＱＱ甜甜的～
No golden dream for me, but we can have some “golden balls”. This is actually the well-known snack in Jioufeng, its called taro balls. The yellow one is sweet potatoes flavor. Hmm, its sweet and chewy.
九份是國外觀光客來台灣，必到的景點之一
Jioufeng is a destination that all visitor stop by when travelling Taiwan.
這裡非常不錯，充滿人文氣息
It’s very nice area,It’s full of culture
我們喜歡嘗試不一樣的體驗，感受新鮮的人事物，這裡的感覺不錯
We will try some different stuff,it’s traditional stuff, really nice
對，真的很棒。
Yap, It’s good
除了品嚐好吃的小吃之外，穿梭在巷弄之間，也是一個非值得推薦的玩法，可細細感受這個山城的魅力。
Other than tasting all the wonderful snacks, exploring through the lanes and alleys is an exciting way to see the beauty of this town.
在這裡，你不用怕迷路，因為最主要的道路只有三條，橫的是基山路和輕便路，最有名的豎崎路，貫穿在這兩條路之間。
You won’t get lost here because there are only 3 main roads. The Jishan street and Qingbian Road are parallel to each other while the well-known Shuqi Road cross these two roads.
沿著豎崎路往上走，濃濃的復古風情，彷彿時光倒流般，讓人回到四、五零年代的台灣。
Walking down Shuqi road you will pass by an area vintage area, soon it will feel like you are following the footsteps into the 40’s and 50’s.
礦業沒落之後，九份幾乎變成一座空城，直到「悲情城市」這部電影，讓它再度起死回生。
After the mining declined Jioufeng became a dead town until the movie “A City of Sadness” brought it back to life.
「悲情城市」是由侯孝賢執導的，這部電影曾在威尼斯影展，獲得金獅獎的最佳影片，也帶動了九份地區的觀光，讓這個沈寂已久的山城，再度繁榮了起來。
“A City of Sadess” is directed by Hsiao-Hsien Hou and this movie lead him to win the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival. This movie gave Jioufeng its tourism drive and set this silence town back to prosperity.
喜歡冒險的人，可以來體驗一下「穿屋巷」，出發之前要記住一點：只要往前走就對了。
Adventure junkies can come walk through the Penetrating house alleys. Just remember one thing, keep moving forward.
這裡好黑呀!
Oh! It is so dark in here!
因為九份的房子依山而蓋，為了節省來回行走的時間，於是有了這「穿屋巷」來當作捷徑，發展出這種特殊的建築藝術。
The houses in Jiufen were all built on the hills. There are many small alleys connected to the main streets to save time for the residents to walk from one street to another. This becomes an interesting artistic architecture.
前面是一座樓梯...現在怎麼辨呢？沒錯！不要懷疑，走就對了
There is a flight of stairs in front, what should I do? That’s right! Don’t hesistate, just keep going!
充滿了神祕感的九份，吸引了很多藝術家，在這裡落地生根，他們隱居在巷弄之間，如果不注意的話，很容易錯過。
The mysteries of Jioufeng has attracted a lot of artists to settle here. They live in their privacy among the alleys. You might just bump into one.
你知道這位藝術家是如何作畫的嗎？
Do you know the material this artist uses?
是用瀝青耶
It’s asphalt.
邱老師可以為我們示範嗎
Mr. Chiu, Can you Show for us?
好的
OK!
這位國寶級的藝術大師，叫做邱錫勳，他獨創的瀝青畫，不但享譽國際，還曾經被美國總統柯林頓，還有教宗若望保祿收藏。
This national treasure maestro is Xuxun Chiu. His creation of asphalt painting is internationally collected,U.S.A President Clinton, and Pope Saint John Paul were both collectors.
這個是我耶，你們覺得像嗎？
This is me, do we look alike?
入夜後的九份，閃耀著迷人的光芒，彷彿鑽石般，這樣的美景，非常值得你來感受。
After dusk, the lights come up and the light shine like diamonds in the sky. It is definitely worth a visit.
我是林柏妤，享受你在台灣的時光，我們下次見。
I am Poyu Lin, enjoy your time in Taiwan! Chow～see you next time.

- LYRICS -
Step back！
Be careful.There's a trap.
I don't want you to be hurt at such a place.
Come back！
You need a map to go if you really wanna have a good time.
Walking through every single day.
Seems like we're good in every way .
Why don't you stick around for a while.
Come on !!
When you cry, take your time.
Cause you saved my life.
I always be for you.
Take a seat.I'll be a guide.
Go straight to the light.
We all know how to fly.
We all know how to fly away from here.
It's not a fight.
We all know how to shine.
Good job
Oh, watch your step, please.
Not everyone is kind like you.
Keep it up.
Stop thinking about the risk.
Go get yourself another power
“I'll be back”You said it like a movie star.
Give me five!!
Let's freak your darkside out.
Don't waste your time.
We're runnig up the stairs again.
When you cry, take your time.
Cause you saved my life.
I always be for you.
Take a seat.I'll be a guide.
Go straight to the light.
We all know how to fly.
We all know how to fly away from here.
It's not a fight.
We all know how to find what we need.
Live to be free. I will never let you down .
Can you see a piece of me？
I will never give in my life.
These greateful days are one of my pride.
That's the reason why I feel no pain. I don't want any frame.
We all know who we are.
We all know how to start
We all know how to start at once.
Day after day, I've been looking for you.
Your history is still here.
Make a wish.I want you to try to
Dive into the sky.
Trust me I won't lie.
Trust me I won't lie till we die.
- 和訳 -
Step back！
そこには罠がある
こんなところで怪我をして欲しくない
Come back！
時間を無駄にしたくないなら、地図が必要だろ
毎日毎日、歩み続けていく
どうやら僕らはどこまでもでイケてるみたいだ
少しここら辺をぶらぶらしようぜ
Come on！
泣きたい時は、ゆっくり時間をかければいい
君が僕の人生を救ってくれたんだ
だから僕はいつも味方でいるから
ほら、ここに座って 僕が案内人になるよ
光へまっすぐ進んでいくんだ
僕たちは飛び方をわかってる
ここらを飛ぶ方法をね
闘いじゃない
僕たちは輝けるんだ
Good job
でも慎重に
みんながみんな、君みたいに優しくないんだ
その調子でいこう
リスクについて考える必要はないよ
新しい力を手に入れにいこう
「I'll be back」とあるムービースターのように君は言った
さあ手を貸して！
君のダークサイドを驚かしてやろうぜ！
時間を無駄にしちゃダメさ
僕らはもう一度階段を駆け上ってるんだから
僕らは必要なものの見つけ方をわかってる
自由になるために生きてるんだ
君を絶対失望させたりなんかしない
僕の欠片が見えるかい？
自分の人生には負けないから
あの最高の日々は僕の誇りの一つだ
それが理由で痛みも感じないし、名声も欲しくなんかない
僕たちは自分が何者なのかをわかってる
僕たちは始め方をわかってる
来る日も来る日も、君を探しているんだ
君の歴史はそこにある
願いごとを見つけよう 君には空に飛び込んで欲しいんだ
僕は嘘をつかないよ、息の根が止まるまで

Invited to a dance but don't have a fairy godmother to doll you up? No worries! All you need is your makeup box and my instructions and in time you'll look magical enough - just like Cinderella! Let's Start!
Prepare your skin with whatever foundation you would normally apply. For some magic, add glitter gel around your eyes and if you want to look more daring, add some on your glitter on your collar bones as well. Set your base makeup and the glitter gel with powder. I use a light shimmery lavender powder.
Now, on to the eyes.
Apply light blue blush from your eyelid up o your browbone and down to the inner corner of your eyes.
Continue with an ice blue eye shadow up to the crease and down again to colour one third of your lower eyelid.
Again, with that light blue colour you used before, highlight the inner part of the ice blue area as well as your lower eyelid.
For a more dramatic look, brush some light brown along the top of the ice blue eyeshadow and blend well until smoky.
For a cartoonish Disney look it's best to use a thin liquid eyeliner. Line as thin as possibel along your natural eyeline but end it with a thick wing.
To finish off add your favourite fake eyelashes, lip gloss and blush. Now you're ready to go to your ball! But make sure you get there on time! Oh, and take care on the stairs. Booh bye bye booh
