Fashionkins // Love at the Broad

By Zacha Carpenter, Contributor Leave a Comment

Art has always been a big part of who I am as a person and I have made it a priority to share that love with my kids. We have been exploring different art museums and exhibits around the city ever since they were old enough to know not to touch and destroy. Art has really been a great parenting tool that I love to use when teaching them the importance of individuality and respecting each others differences. Art teaches them diversity and expands their view of the world with each new piece. As we walk around museums I encourage them to ask questions. What do they see? What do they feel when looking at a certain painting. At the end we pick our favorite piece and write down the name of the artist. We then research the artist at home and talk about the type of art they do, wether its similar or different to the piece we liked. The Broad is definitely one of our favorite art museums in Los Angeles.  It has a great open layout for kids to roam freely and not feel so constricted with tons of interactive features to keep them following along.  BABIEKINS MAGAZINE | Love at the BroadBABIEKINS MAGAZINE | Love at the BroadBABIEKINS MAGAZINE | Love at the BroadBABIEKINS MAGAZINE | Love at the BroadIMG_2472BABIEKINS MAGAZINE | Love at the BroadBABIEKINS MAGAZINE | Love at the BroadBABIEKINS MAGAZINE | Love at the Broad

MOMKINS :: Introducing Your Kids to Other Cultures / A Trip to the Brasilian Supermarket

By Gina Munsey, Senior Editor 1 Comment

Introducing Your Kids to Other Cultures - A Trip to the Brasilian Supermarket via the Babiekins Magazine blog

Among the families on our editorial team, many of us have been heavily influenced by countries other than the United States. I was born outside the US and lived for a bit in Europe as a child as well. Our Editor-in-Chief, Priscila, is from Brasil. And as I’ve gotten older, feel more strongly than ever that experiences from other cultures should be a regular part of every kid’s childhood. It shouldn’t be a production or a big deal, it should just be a given! None of us are meant to just live inside our own tiny worlds. It’s so important for children to develop a well-rounded worldview.

While I dream of traveling internationally with my little family someday, until then, there are many ways to experience other cultures right here in our own city. And so yesterday, Aveline and I headed over to Silva’s Market, a local Brasilian deli and supermarket. (Our editorial team is primarily in Southern California, but a few of us live elsewhere — I’m in Orlando, Florida.)

Our friend Priscilla Barbosa — who is from Brasil and who had her camera along — met us at the market. Aveline roamed the aisles with the owner’s daughter, before sitting down in the deli to down nearly an entire helping of pao de queijo. (If there was any doubt that’s she’s two, fear not, she is. I turned around for one second to ogle the selection of sweets, and she plunged her mini GI Joe into a full glass, sending a cascade of water everywhere.)

See, the thing about introducing children to other cultures at a young age, is that it’s not a big deal for the kids. The outing wasn’t something different to her. It was just fun.

And isn’t that the way it should be? 

-xo, Gina

Copyright © 2021 · Babiekins Magazine | A Trendsetting Kids' Fashion Magazine and Online Community for Parents and Children Alike · Since the Southern California birth of Babiekins in 2010, the magazine has grown from into an internationally-recognized print publication with a global circulation and now a thriving online community. We are more than a kids’ fashion magazine. We search everywhere for inspiration, and go beyond trends to bring you fashion, style, decor, design, books, DIY, parties, and playthings. Our readers look to us to keep up with the best and most up-to-date concepts in the children’s market worldwide. We have an eye for quirk. We’re high-fashion, but we value whimsy over tradition. Playful childhood is more important to us than making kids into copycat adults. We believe life is beautiful, life is valuable, and life changes when you see it through the eyes of a child. We seek to transcend skin color, language and zip codes and bring out the real, wild, magical creativity inherent in every child. And behind Babiekins is an optimistic team of mothers-turned-editors, working from home, often with our own little babiekins climbing on, under and around the desks. We want to encourage you, and challenge you to see something different — something special — in yourself and in this world we all share. Welcome to Babiekins!
