I want to go mushroom picking and mentioned to a friend that it's hard because of my 2.5 year old. My friend got surprised and said "surely, she must be able to walk in a forest?!", but no, she can't. The forest is brutal, it is morain all over with lots of roots and rocks of various sizes, some vobbely, many sharp. Even on the trails, she struggles due to rocks, roots, fallen branches, pinecone (the kind that are like stepping in marbles). I too struggle with walking in a forest, partly because of the nature but largely due to my own bad balance, so I hadn't thought about that it would be unusual or strange that my kid can't. I've tried taking her berry picking and such, but she really doesn't like being off track. She wants to stay on the broad maintained paths and does not like the small ones (like the ones animals use) and even less walking in the wild.

I don't know if I should be concerned? Can/could your kids go mushroom hunting with you in this age?

Till personen som hittade mitt tappade betalkort och lämnade in det i kassan på Ica city igår. Spärra sitt kort är inte vad man helst gör dagen innan man åker på semester, lättnaden och tacksamheten jag kände när jag fick tillbaka det var obeskrivlig. Önskar dig alla kantareller du kan drömma om och må du aldrig trampa barfota på en bit lego! ❤️

I'm looking for traditional Swedish folk songs, like Tula hem och tula vall, Du skåning du skåning, or the two linked below. I grew up in a place where folk music was very present and normal, but once I moved away, I realised that this was a rather unusual thing. I didn't play or sing folk music at the time so while I remember some songs, I can't find the gems that speaks to a child. I'd like to make a playlist for my daughter so that she too can grow up with it and feel like it's part of her culture and not just some kind of relic you hear on midsummer.

Kling klang klockan slår (the song linked above) is currently her favourite, she wants to hear it over and over.

Var inte ledsen min lilla Lotta is another favourite (possibly due to the lyrics...)

Hi fellow toy camera enthusiasts! I have a toddler, soon 2.5 years, and I'm hoping she'll enjoy photography as much as I do. I have a Diana for myself (in addition to my non-toy Nikon), but I have been thinking about letting my kid have her own camera, which would be a toy camera in a very literal sense. I don't expect cameras for kids to take perfect pictures, but it would be nice if they would produce more than a blur. Hence, my question: is there any toy cameras out there that actually take somewhat acceptable pictures? Like toy camera level good? I'm thinking specifically of the Zoo Friends camera from the zoo family, which is so cute on the outside but seemingly has no pictures from it uploaded anywhere on the entire Internet (as far as this parent is able to find at least).

Ideally, I would like the camera to be cute and durable and easy enough for a toddler to handle, but with the photos being charming enough for me to use it as a toy camera once she has outgrown it.

Any experiences or recommendations?

I den osannolika händelse att någon här bor i lilla Vänge, drick inte vattnet!
