Schueberfouer vs Kids

As Schueberfouer has arrived the city, a lot of fun for everyone comes along, as well as loads of people in and around the fair spot – Glacis.

So, to help parents the Grand-Duchy police introduced the campaign ‘Enfant Perdus – Schueberfouer’. This action consists in giving each child a badge for identification in case of getting lost. To apply for it, the parents should go with the child to the police temporary station at the main entrance of the fair.

New clowns in town

Have you already seen the funny little clowns around the city acting as water fountains? I already spotted them at the “Castle” Playground, the “Pirate Ship” park and the Capucins new playground. What about you? Have you seen them in other playgrounds?

Summer in the city!

Are you here during the summer? If so, I believe you’d like to know there are some very good and free initiatives around the city:

– New playground (spillplaz) in the centre, right next to the Theatre des Capucins (rue des Capucins). Good to know if you are shopping in the city and the kids need a little break 🙂

Spot Review – Let’s play with Poneys

Today we had a lovely morning at ‘Zoly Poney‘, a cozy little farm near Arlon, where kids between 2 and 6 years old can learn more about these so sweet animals.

It’s literally a family business, where you can find quite a variety of farm animals: rabits, chickens, goats, vietnamit pigs, poneys and horses. They all seem very well treated by people who really love animals.

As for the activity in itself, the kids started to learn about how to take care about the poney regarding their daily routines. Then, they helped the owner to prepare the poney for the riding and finally, they started the play activity. It consisted on going around a small playground, with some challenges for each kid: the one riding the poney and the one who’s responsible to teach the poney on what to do.

It was simply great as the kids loved it! Education with a lot of fun!
