Kids Recipe

Real Choc-Chip Gelato :)

A beautiful vanilla gelato with REAL chocolate chips!

First make an almond cream by blending the skinned almonds with the water and straining through a muslin cloth or nut milk bag.
Rinse the blender and return the almond cream to it along with the Medjool dates.
Blend until smooth.
Deseed the vanilla pod by carefully cutting down it's length and then opening it out, and scraping out the seeds using the back of a knife.
Add the vanilla seeds to the blender and blend again until smooth and evenly mixed.
Stir the cacao nibs into the mixture by hand, and freeze using your chosen method.
Enjoy :)

This is the part of thehappygelateria for all you fantastic kids :)

We at thehappygelateria believe it is important for all of us to be active, to eat healthily and to laugh and have fun; in order to take care of ourselves, each other and our World. We wish to provide a fun, safe place to be encouraged and inspired, and to meet, chill out and have fun! Please check it is OK with your parent or guardian and then, if it is, sign up to the 'Gelateria Lounge' so that you can share stories, poems, ideas, jokes, photos, recipes etc with other children all over the world! When in the Lounge always remember to keep personal information such as your address, telephone number(s) and school details private - this will help keep everyone safe and cared for :)

We have had a lot of fun putting this page together for you and hope that you enjoy it!

Jana has drawn some pictures for you to print out and colour in, and she has personally trialled the games and recipes - with a lot of fun being had along the way :)

We have created 2 sticker sheets with fun stickers for you to print out. Sticky label sheets suitable for this are available in our stores - have fun!

Each week we will bring you a new gelato (Italian type of ice cream), smoothie or healthy treat recipe to try.

Each month we will bring you fab new video clips to view, a fun activity to do, and also a fun daily exercise idea :)

I know that my daughter Jana inspires me all the time to live a more healthy and caring lifestyle. Never underestimate the positive influence you can have.

Take care and have fun!

Each month we will bring you new videos that support what we believe in - mostly having fun!!

Don't Worry :)

We love this most recent offering from those lovely people at Playing For Change :)

Busy Bees :)

A fascinating look into the world of the amazing honeybee

Happy Working Song :)

This song reminds us that everything can be FUN :)

Laugh :)

Laughter truly is the best medicine - it helps us feels great, connects us with each other on common ground, and is fantastic exercise for our lungs!

Join in with some street children in India participating in a 'laughter yoga' class :)

We love and value laughter so much that we invite you to practice some laughter yoga every day again this month, and see how it makes you feel.

Extra Idea: Get together with friends and practice in a group, for even more fun! Remember to get grown ups involved too - we all can benefit from remembering how to laugh for no reason :)

Every month we will bring you a daily exercise idea to try for the month ahead. This is purely for you to do for yourselves, and fun is the name of the game! They will always be simple, and sometimes silly! activities. If you are in any doubt about your ability to do the exercise then ask a knowledgeable adult who can advise you. Always take care of yourselves when exercising, and build up to doing more as you get fitter.

Please let us know about your own exercise ideas. Either email us and we can share them via this page, or share them directly in the Gelateria Lounge :)

This month we are into Hula Hooping :)

We find this a lot of fun, and encourage you to give it a go just for the fun of it! To make it easier for you the best size hoop is one that comes up to the bottom of your ribs when stood up on it's edge :)

Try hooping to music, and also skipping with a hula hoop too!
