Spending time with your children is as valuable as it is important.
But sometimes you may not be able to think of what to do when you’re together.
For those times, the PLOM team (consisting of a wild child, two well-read horses and a sculpting seagull) has come up with 12 things you can do.
You don’t have to do them all.
But if you want to, you can! 1.
Plant something together.
You can go buy the seeds, or you can also plant a bone from something you’ve eaten. 2.
Interview each other (or each other).
Make a record of it. 3.
Teach your child something you think is important: the names of the fingers, the planets, how to boil an egg, what movies to watch if your child’s heart is broken one day…whatever. 4.
Go to the supermarket dressed incognito (sunglasses and scarf around your head, for example).
Use code names. 
5.
Try dancing in front of him.
Preferably, to the sound of a song “of your time”.
Challenge him to resist without dying of embarrassment.
(Attention: the degree of filial shame increases with age). 6.
If you are outdoors, you can do a John Baldessari: throw a ball in the air and try to photograph it so that it is in the center of the photo.
He made 38 attempts.
( We refer to his work “Trying to photograph a ball so that it is in the center of the picture”.
Maybe this sentence of his will inspire you: “Contemplate the object as if you had never seen it before. Analyze it from every angle. Draw its outline in the air with your eyes or with your hands and let it fill you”).
7.
Take a long walk.
It’s free and better than many other things.
You’ll see new places and faces, you’ll chat, you’ll come home relaxed. 8.
Take a piece of paper and a pen.
Write on it the seven days of the week.
Next to each one: a weather forecast.
Hang it on the refrigerator.
(You may discover a hidden talent). 9.
Set up a tent indoors with chairs and a large sheet (finally you have someone to do it with!).
At night, you can light it with flashlights, or table lamps. 10.
Do you know your Chinese horoscope?
Do you have a pen?
You already have something to tattoo on your arm! 11.
Make a list of possible names for abstract paintings.
For example.
“Tummy ache after eating cereal with milk n.4” or “I’m called ____ and it’s cold today but I love dogs.”
Whatever. 12.
Discover a series or show you watched in your childhood.
With Youtube it’s easy!
We hope that some of these will help you, or, better yet, that you don’t even need it!
And if in spite of everything, you still don’t know what to do, remember that you can come with them to our Kid’s Room: Seneca Street 31, Monday to Saturday, from 10:00 to 21.00h.
We promise that our little corner will delight them….
