Boys ride an escalator in the subway

We rode up the stairs, got on the train and went back. We got off after two stops and looked - it wasn’t our station!

“We probably went in the wrong direction,” says Vovka.

We boarded another train and went in the opposite direction. We arrive - again, not our station! Then we got scared.

“We need to ask someone,” says Vovka.

- How can you ask? Do you know what station we boarded at?

- No. And you?

- I do not know either.

“Let’s go to all the stations, maybe we’ll find it somehow,” says Vovka.

We started driving around the stations. We drove and drove, and even my head began to spin.

Tuesday: omelet or scrambled eggs

With carrots and peas, with ham and sweet peppers, with zucchini and cheese, and even sweet apple - no child will refuse an omelette for breakfast, especially such an unusual one!

How to draw mom and dad

Now let's try to draw the whole family. Let's depict the children, the mother and, of course, the father next to them. The drawing presented by megamaster.info will be designed for the youngest artists who will undoubtedly want to learn how to draw a dad step by step. For drawing we will use a marker, colored pencils and a sketchbook. If you're ready, let's get to work:

Let's start drawing with my daughter. We mark the contours of the head; they should resemble an oval.

We make bangs using strokes of different lengths. On the sides we depict bows and ponytails. Let's make the girl's eyes round and leave highlights inside. Below we will draw a small mouth.
We draw a short neck under the head. We add a collar of semicircles to it. Now let's design the dress. We draw long stripes and slightly widen them at the bottom. Draw a rectangle in the upper part of the body. We will draw the lines of the arms on the sides of the body; they will be hidden behind the back.

We depict small details, such as a bow under the collar, folds on the skirt. We finish drawing the girl by adding legs. Using lines we will highlight shoes and socks on them.
There will be a boy nearby. In our case, he will be shorter. Draw the contours of the head, add small ears. We depict hair using short strips. We make the eyes, like the girl’s, round and with highlights, place small eyebrows above them, and place a smile at the bottom of the face.
We draw the boy’s torso, make the shoulders round, and draw sleeves and arms from them. At the bottom you need to place short pants, legs and shoes.
It's time to draw the head of the family. Dad will be very tall. Decide where best to place your head. We draw its contours. We draw the hair; at the bottom it can be decorated using zigzags. Let's add glasses to the face. Make two circles and connect them with a line. Let's draw eyes inside the circles; they are drawn in the same way as for children. Draw the eyebrows and mouth in the form of an arc. We add a neck to the head, starting from it we depict a tie with a collar.
Now we need to depict the torso and give meaning to the dad’s position. We add a hand to the left so that it goes behind the back. Let's draw the lines of the second hand so that it lies on the daughter's head. Under the shirt we mark the belt and trousers.
All that remains is to draw my mother. As in the previous steps, we start from the head. Please note that here the outline of the head below has a slightly pointed shape. Add eyes and mouth inside. We put ears on the sides so you can display earrings on them. Mom's hair will be wavy.
All that remains is to depict a beautiful dress, but your mother may be wearing something else. We put the legs at the bottom.

The drawing is ready. Color it with different colored pencils.

Wednesday: pasta (pasta) or milk noodle soup

Yes, and pasta too. After all, we remember that carbohydrates for breakfast are the main source of energy for a preschooler.

Almost all children love pasta. In order for them to be beneficial and not harmful, choose pasta made from durum wheat and do not overcook it - proper pasta should remain hard. Buckwheat or rice noodles can be an excellent option for replacing classic pasta.

The good thing about pasta for breakfast is that it can be prepared completely differently every week. It goes well with cheese, eggs, and vegetables. If you don't have time, you can simply boil the pasta and sprinkle grated cheese on top. Periodically on “pasta” day you can make your child milk soup with noodles.

Milk vermicelli

Small vermicelli (spider web) - 1 tbsp.
Milk - 200 ml.
Butter - 5 g.
Sugar - to taste

Preparation:

Pour vermicelli into boiling water and cook until half cooked, about 3 minutes.

Drain the pasta in a colander (do all the steps clearly and quickly so that they don’t have time to stick together). Let the milk boil and add boiled vermicelli to it. At the end of cooking, add sugar to taste and a piece of butter.

Pasta – 300 g.
Cheddar cheese – 150 g.
Milk – 600 ml.
Butter – 1 tbsp.

Of course, the father is not always strict, he loves children and therefore in the next drawing we will try to convey this love. Let's learn how to draw a dad for children on his birthday. We will use a felt-tip pen for the sketch; if you are drawing for the first time, it is better to use a pencil. We will paint the picture with watercolors. Let's get started:

First, let's draw the head of the family. At the top of the sheet we draw two arcs.

On the left, we add zigzags to the arcs. And on the right, don’t forget about the missing part of the hairstyle and leave room for the ear.
We outline the contours of the head. We make a line at the bottom that will show the position of the neck. At this stage you can begin to design the face. We draw the eyebrows and immediately fill them in. We also draw the nose, depicting it as long and uneven. We will make the eyes using arcs. Let's draw a mouth that will be stretched into a wide smile.
We drew daddy's beautiful face. Now let's add the children's faces. On the left we draw a circle. We draw a line approximately in the center, indicating the position of the ear. We draw the nose, eye line and smile in front. Let's draw a ponytail at the top of the head, so we have a girl. Add a handle that reaches towards dad's neck. Starting from it, we will draw the contours of the body. You need to add the fingers of dad's hand to the girl's back.
On the opposite side we will draw a boy. We depict our son’s hair with wavy lines. Leave room for the ear. We draw a nose, small eyes and a smile. He will hug dad, so we make a neat little hand. As in the previous step, we need to draw the contours of the torso and father’s hand on the child’s back.
So that the drawing does not seem empty, we will add a chair in the background. We mark the rounded back behind the back. Let's add a visible armrest on the left side. You can start coloring.
We dilute the brown paint to obtain a light, beige shade. We paint over the faces and hands. For dad's hair we use a light brown shade, and for the children's hair we will make it a shade darker. We dye the girl's clothes red, and use the same color for the elastic band on her hair. Let's make my son's T-shirt yellow and dad's sweater blue. All that remains is to paint over the chair, we will make it green.

Saturday: dumplings, lazy dumplings

Most children will not refuse to enjoy this dish in the morning. Homemade dumplings with fruit or curd filling can be made in advance and stored in the freezer, using as needed. And lazy dumplings are easy to make right in the morning.

Brown sugar – 1 tbsp.
Salt - to taste

Preparation:

Place the cottage cheese in a large cup and add sugar to it. Add one chicken egg and stir the mixture. Grind the curd mixture in a blender. This is necessary so that the protein contained in the cottage cheese is better absorbed and digested. When heated during cooking, the protein in the curd thickens. And at the same time, the consistency of the mass improves significantly, the cottage cheese becomes airy and homogeneous.

Add wheat flour to the resulting mass and knead the dough for lazy dumplings. If you have limited time, you can roll the dough into a sausage and cut it into equal pieces. Press the center of each piece with your finger. This action can be entrusted to a little assistant.

Place a saucepan of water over high heat. When the water boils, be sure to salt it. There is no need to overdo it so that the dumplings don’t get overcooked. After the water has boiled, carefully lower the dumplings into it.

When the dumplings appear on the surface of the water, it means they are almost ready. After this, let them cook for about 5 minutes, no more. Otherwise they may boil over. Carefully, so that the dumplings do not fall apart, use a slotted spoon to remove them from the water into a bowl. Let them cool a little. Add a little butter or sour cream to the dumplings. To decorate the dish, you can put a berry in the center of each dumpling

Dumplings with cherries

Wheat flour – 400-500 g.
Chicken egg - 1 pc.
Kefir – 1 glass
