Mestre Mandou – This game can be a lot more fun if in the presence of the parents. One person will remain as a master and give orders that must be carried out, as the “master ordered somersault”, all participants must obey the order. This game can be done through drawings too, being the master’s order to draw what he asks for. That way the imagination will go far, just use your creativity and have a good laugh.
Drawing with noodles and wool – Give a sheet of sulphite to each person, spread noodles of various shapes and wools of various colors on the table, of course they will need glue to make. Make drawings on the sheet and cover with the material. This game, besides helping in concentration, will stimulate the child’s creativity and can put the imagination into practice.
Tic-Tac-Toe – On a paper draw a #, each participant must choose whether they want to be O or X, the intention of the game is to mark a sequence of their symbols and whoever gets it first wins. This game stimulates the child’s logical reasoning, making him pay attention before making the drawing in his turn.

My name is Dr. Alexis Hart I am 38 years old, I am the mother of 3 beautiful children! Different ages, different phases 16 years, 12 years and 7 years. In love with motherhood since always, I found it difficult to make my dreams come true, and also some more after I was already a mother.
Since I imagined myself as a mother, in my thoughts everything seemed to be much easier and simpler than it really was, I expected to get pregnant as soon as I wished, but it wasn’t that simple. The first pregnancy was smooth, but my daughter’s birth was very troubled. Joana was born in 2002 with a weight of 2930kg and 45cm, from a very peaceful cesarean delivery but she had already been born with congenital pneumonia due to a broken bag not treated with antibiotics even before delivery.
