Bugali x Namaki: a creative collaboration for screen-free children’s activities

At Namaki, we love colorful adventures, free play and worlds that stimulate the imagination. So when Bugali, the screen-free interactive and immersive consolesIt was an obvious choice for us to work together. To mark the release of their new sound and touch cards, which transform every moment of listening into a sensory exploration, we've combined screen-free, fun and creative children's activities. From magical make-up to family DIYs, here are four workshop ideas inspired by Bugali cards for afternoons full of laughter and color... and without a tablet in sight!

Awakening curiosity by exploring the solar system

The "To infinity and beyond" card: immediate boarding for the stars

Zoom Pack for ages 5+ includes a space-themed map. Bugali offers a fascinating journey through the planets, stars and mysteries of the universe. It's an invitation to a cosmic journey, without the blue light, and with a wealth of knowledge for curious little ones and great explorers alike.

Celestial make-up idea: ready to reach for the moon?

Plunge into a beautiful summer night by creating a gradient of colors on the forehead: from blue to black if you use the water-based blushes from blue to glittery purple if you prefer jumbos pencils. Draw stars with the help of a fine white pencil. On the cheek, add a crescent moon, a cosmonaut or Pierrot. As fast as a rocket, the tattoos Intergalactic Worlds ephemera in vegetable ink add a more colorful touch.

DIY tutorial: building Mercury and the sun

Ready for a trip into space? We've got your very own Sun and Mercury! To create the Sun, take a cardboard plate and paint it yellow... or any other color you like, because in space, the Sun is actually white! Then cut out rays from a sheet of paper, color them in and glue them all around the plate. Remember: the Sun is much, much bigger than Mercury! For the planet, draw a small circle on cardboard, cut it out (with the help of a large person if necessary), and color it gray, with small circles to represent the craters. And that's it! Now all you have to do is rotate Mercury around the Sun.

Relive a classic tale with fun

Bugali's Little Red Riding Hood: a tale revisited for listening

The "Once upon a time..." card in the Pack Kezako by Bugali brings this classic tale to life with immersive sounds, voices and effects. From the age of 3, children can follow Little Red Riding Hood's adventure through the forest, with a hint of suspense...

Make-up idea: Red Riding Hood or wolf?

For fans of Red Riding Hood, it's time to discover the make-up range. A little pink on the cheeks, glossy lips and a little heart in the corner of the eye... You can count on the eyeshadow palettesthe gourmet lip balms or gloss for a pretty, fresh face... and a very appetizing one for a naughty wolf! For easy wolf make-up, take inspiration from our tutorial.

DIY tutorial: make a small basket and a wolf puppet

For story time, here are two creations for children:

• The wolf puppet: take a grey sock, glue on two moving eyes, a black pompom nose and felt ears. Grrr!
• Little Red Riding Hood's basket: cut a 10 cm x 10 cm square of cardboard to create the bottom of the basket. After cutting strips of kraft paper, glue them to the cardboard square. Then take a strip long enough to make the top of the basket. If the bottom measures 10 cm x 10 cm, it should measure 4 x 10 cm. Glue the ends of the small strips together. Glue a final strip from one side of the basket to the other to create a handle.

 

A great way to bring stories to life in a different way, through activities that develop children's fine motor skills.
