The fact that you have children does not mean that you have to reduce the list of holiday options for a few years to organized holidays and apartments surrounded by children's playgrounds and activities specially adapted for the youngest. Holidays, where sand from the sandbox is replaced by desert sand, and pebbles from the coast become rocks on the hill, are not only in the domain of adults, because you can also take children with you to many places.

Nowadays, children prefer playing computer games, exploring apps and sitting in front of televisions rather than social children's games and outdoor children's games.

In order not to forget them, we remembered the games we played as children.
Sometimes the simplest inventions can change millions of lives. And this is, among other things, the goal of shoes that grow. The Shoe That Grows was invented by Kenton Lee, and the shoes can adjust their size for up to five years, enabling children in poor countries not to grow up barefoot.
Of course, we can pretend that newborn photography is all about, well, newborns. But we can admit that there is nothing better than dressing up your little non-innovators as our favorite superheroes. Baby Super Mario and baby Princess Lea? Sold!
