On connecting with loved ones…
If you too have a kiddo that can’t easily connect with far-away loved ones over Zoom…
A-s beloved gestalt right now is “____ is turning”. Long blue bus is turning. Amma is turning.
So I decided to make a Pictello where each page is a 3 second video with a loved one making a short video of themselves saying “Patiamma is turning!” or “grandpa is turning!” And then they spin around on the spot.
So far we’ve got about 10 little videos and A- is loving it already! It’s a warm way for him to connect with his people, doing something he loves.
