A new collection of 50 healthy, fun recipes for parents and
children ages 2 to 5 from "celebrity chefs" Elmo, Cookie Monster,
Grover, and the beloved Sesame Street gang Sesame Street has been
entertaining and educating young children and their parents for 45
years with its irresistible, brightly coloured "monsters." In
recent years, Elmo, Cookie Monster, and the gang have appeared with
chefs and on TV to teach kids about healthy eating. Studies have
even shown that Elmo helps kids like broccoli. In April 2014,
Michelle Obama announced a national "Eat Brighter" campaign that
will feature Sesame Street characters on food labels. Sesame Street
Let's Cook! furthers this new effort in cookbook form. It features
a visual "ABCs of Healthy Foods," plus 50 simple, healthily recipes
for breakfasts, main meals, and snacks. There's a colour photo for
every recipe, Kids! steps, nutrition tips, and clever sidebars that
teach young children ages 2 to 5 skills such as counting, matching,
learning the alphabet, and more. This is a fun, practical book to
help parents and their kids make simple meals, enjoy time together
in the kitchen, and learn about healthy eating.
Greenbank Primary: First Aid Brought to Life is a narrative
non-fiction that tells a story. It tells a story of a town called
Humphrington, a school called Greenbank Primary and the Matthews
family engaging with family, friends and teachers. The main theme
throughout the book is 'what can you, as a 10-12 year old person,
do to give first aid in a medical emergency?' What are the simple
key actions that you could take to help someone recover from a
serious asthma attack, seizure, severe wound, broken limb and even
drowning and cardiac arrest? Given that success rates in the UK for
survival outside of hospital for cardiac arrest are below 10% there
is a need for knowledge especially at a young age. In countries
that invest in training young children in life saving skills,
survival rates are far better than the UK. This book aims for
improvement.
This book features over 100 fun activities that kids will love,
with magic tricks, food to cook, plants to grow and games to play.
All the projects use easy, safe materials and equipment you will
find around the home. Among the many items to make or paint are a
feather headdress, wooden spoon puppets and a printed T-shirt. For
budding scientists there are simple experiments that will answer
children's questions about light, sound, electricity and water. It
offers clear stage-by-stage photography for every project and
lively finished pictures to inspire and delight. This brilliant
book is packed with exciting ideas that combine crafting fun,
learning and play. Young musicians can make their own instruments
and discover a whole new range of sounds to explore - a cardboard
tube easily becomes a kazoo and a bottle xylophone can be created
in next to no time. Children will also be tempted into the kitchen
by an imaginative collection of easy recipes, from funny face
pizzas to a wobbly dessert pond. And when it's time for a party,
here are all the ideas you will need for games, decorations and
teatime treats.

part of family life, whatever that looks like for you.' - Rohan
Gunatillake, Creator of buddhify This inspirational and timely
guide is about how mindfulness helps children, why it's becoming
more popular and how to do it. It combines practical exercises that
children can complete alongside their parents/carers with a fun and
engaging commentary on the theory and science behind the practice.
Uz takes you through the day, from waking, eating, learning and
appreciating to sleeping, including exercises for how to cope with
exams, how to deal with the screen culture and what mindfulness
practises you can do in holiday time. Together, this gives the
reader an enjoyable and accessible path into the practice of
mindfulness for children. Many schools are not able to include
mindfulness in their curricula and educators and parents alike are
eager to have more guidance on how to support children. This
current era of rising levels of child mental health, with the
pressures in schools as well as the increasingly fast-paced,
digitized and image-obsessed world is having a really negative
effect. Mindfulness for Children is a positive and practical tool
that will give children the skills to manage their feelings,
increase their confidence and concentration levels as well as
aiding their transition to secondary school. And it can help
parents and caregivers, too, by promoting happiness and relieving
stress.
