Although au pairs are clever and resourceful ladies with plenty of ideas on how to amuse and educate their host kids, there are days when they scratch their heads and wonder what else they can do to keep things interesting.

One place to turn to for inspiration is APIA CALENDAR

http://www.aupairinamerica.com/resources/calendars/

which is chock-full of colorful tidbits about world events, famous people, fun games, recipes, etcetera… etcetera.

JANUARY 2014 alone offers info and additional links to subjects as varied as:
National Soup Month
United Nations
Pineapples (and Pineapple Upside Down Cake)
Winnie the Pooh
and Benjamin Franklin

“If you would not be forgotten, as soon as you are dead and rotten, either write things worth reading, or do things worth the writing.” ~ B. Franklin

Check it out and, as always, have fun!
