19. There’ll be no problem getting your kids to wear their face masks when<br />
they can roar like a lion. Lions, kittens, pigs and eagles ... we LOVE these.<br />
They’re R50 from madambotany.co.za, and can be delivered around the<br />
country. • 20. We are, for the foreseeable future, going to be spending a<br />
lot more time at home. So let’s embrace it – the Nordic way. Hyggie –<br />
pronounced hue-gah – is loosely translated as cosy ... it’s all about people’s<br />
behaviour towards each other, about creating intimacy and contentment<br />
and warmth. In How To Hygge, Scandinavian cook and writer Signe<br />
Johansen shares the secrets of Nordic living and shows you how to adopt<br />
these elements into your everyday life. So besides loads of recipes, there are ideas<br />
on how to enjoy the outdoors, the joy of fika (coming together over cake and<br />
coffee) and how to collaborate to achieve a sense of community. For those who<br />
admire the Nordic stylish design, Signe shows how to achieve Scandi-cool in your<br />
own home, without breaking the bank. R338, and you can order online and have<br />
it delivered from exclusivebooks.co.za • 21. Work. Cleaning. Laundry. Cooking. And<br />
now home-schooling too. Good grief! But we’ve found help in a box. WackyBox<br />
is, quite literally, preschool in a box. It contains everything you need to keep your<br />
pre-schoolers entertained and educated at home. It’s not new – it’s been around<br />
for four years – but my goodness, is it well timed right now! Founder Nicolene<br />
Steyn ensures all major educational milestones between the ages of five months<br />
and six years are covered, with age-appropriate activities and new themes<br />
monthly (think Shapes, African Insects, and By The Sea). It’s an open-up-and-startplaying<br />
experience, with minimal prep. Hugely helpful for busy (or not terribly<br />
organised) mums, as absolutely everything you need is ready to use inside the<br />
box. What’s more, the box is also part of the activities, which means nothing goes<br />
to waste. You can order a one off box (a great gift from gran over lockdown ...<br />
hint, hint), or a subscription. Prices around R395 for a one off order, R1940 for a six<br />
month subscription. Details: wackybox.co.za<br />
