Plastic Detox on vacation

Packing suitcases for the holiday season – or rather enjoying your vacation at home on the balcony and by the lakeshore? No matter how you spend your summer, the abundant sunshine and long evenings invite you to spend time outdoors.

So get out into the woods, become explorers together – you and your child! Stacking stones by the sea or splashing in the stream, playing soccer or building bows at summer camp. Night hikes and sitting by the fire also provide beautiful moments. Summer is a great time – more adventures are not possible.

How about taking advantage of the outdoors time with your child and giving up all the “indoors toys” for a while? Keep them stored away in the children’s room. You can always take them out together again in the fall when it’s rainy and rediscover some treasures.

You will be happy that there isn’t so much to take on vacation.

Of course, the favorite cuddly toy, pens and paper for drawing, and a few books fit in every holiday bag. And who, of course, cannot be missing, is hörbert – because he accompanies your child everywhere, that’s for sure.

We promise you, less is more. We call it “detox” when we do without something for a while. Like our mobile phone, for example. By the way, it’s a great idea. Without toys and smartphones on the beach and in the forest – leave it all at home. Building sandcastles, climbing trees or going on a bike tour: Together, you explore nature, have fun, and enjoy valuable family time on vacation. Become an explorer ?!

This is important because sensory experiences like the scent of a summer meadow or the strenuous paddling over a canal stimulate your child’s brain. We remember experiences better because we can smell, feel, see, and hear them. In contrast, everything we watch on TV or on the phone is like fast food for the brain. Hard to digest and it doesn’t nourish us.

And when your child is tired from playing and romping around a lot, it’s time for relaxing moments. Maybe cozy on the terrace or in the tent at the beach. Even then, hörbert is there for you. In peace, your little whirlwind can listen to favorite songs or eagerly experience the adventures of royal children or Robinson Crusoe. This way, it can handle quiet times well. And when your sweetheart is ready for more wild adventures, just bring hörbert along! He is mobile, enduring, and always ready for action – not only on vacation.
