Making Cakes with Aunty Shan
Join Aunty Shan and her two enthusiastic nieces, Emily and Jake, on a delightful baking adventure. With an important birthday cake to make, the trio faces challenges that test their courage and creativity. Can they overcome the obstacles and deliver a delicious surprise?
Emily and Jake were excited to bake a birthday cake for their dad with Aunty Shan. But there was one big problem: none of them had ever baked a cake before! They needed to create a perfect cake, but they didn't know how. The birthday was only a day away, and they didn't want to disappoint their dad. " - How hard can it be?" Jake asked nervously. " - We'll need to be brave and try," Aunty Shan assured, adjusting her glasses.
Their first obstacle came quickly when they realized they were missing key ingredients. The flour jar was empty, and they had no eggs! " - What do we do now, Aunty Shan?" Emily asked, worried. " - We'll have to go to the store," Aunty Shan decided. The three of them bundled up and ventured out, hoping the store would have everything they needed. " - Let's hurry, we still have a cake to bake!" Jake exclaimed.
Returning from the store, they faced another challenge: the recipe was more complex than they thought. " - We need to follow the steps carefully," Aunty Shan explained. As they mixed and measured, flour spilled, and eggshells fell into the bowl. " - This is harder than I thought," Jake mumbled. " - It's okay, we're learning," Emily encouraged. They kept trying but mistakes kept happening.
After a series of mishaps, Aunty Shan felt overwhelmed and considered giving up. " - Maybe we should just buy a cake," she sighed. But Emily and Jake looked disappointed. " - We wanted to make it special," Emily said softly. " - We can't let dad down," Jake added. Aunty Shan realized how important this was to them. " - Maybe we just need a new plan," she suggested, trying to lift their spirits.
Aunty Shan remembered her friend, a professional baker, who might have some advice. " - Let's call Chef Mia," she proposed. Chef Mia was delighted to help and shared a simpler recipe over the phone. " - We can do this," Aunty Shan said confidently. " - Let's start again!" Emily cheered. With renewed determination, they followed the new recipe step by step.
This time, everything went smoothly, and the cake turned out beautifully. " - We did it!" Jake exclaimed, clapping his hands. The cake was decorated with colorful icing and sprinkles. " - Dad is going to love this," Emily smiled. Aunty Shan was proud of their courage and teamwork. They learned that with patience and a little help, they could achieve anything!

Un'Avventura Natalizia Incantata
Una notte, mentre la neve cadeva soffice come piume, Diego Amendola, Ariana, Mattia e tutti gli altri bambini – tra cui Amelia, Alessia Tamara, Raffaele, Eleonora, Samuele, Leonardo, Diego di Verde, Athena Jolene, Hanine, Tyler, Alessio, Melanie, Safae, Zara, Traian, Filippo, Luca e Luigi – si ritrovarono magicamente trasportati in una slitta volante che sfrecciava tra le stelle. Con grande stupore, si accorsero di essere diretti verso il Polo Nord. "Dove stiamo andando?" chiese Diego Amendola, sfregandosi gli occhi. "A casa di Babbo Natale!" rispose Ariana, eccitatissima. Quando arrivarono, furono accolti da un'atmosfera magica. Le renne pascolavano tranquille, gli elfi correvano qua e là tra le casette di pan di zenzero, e l'odore di biscotti appena sfornati inebriava l'aria. Babbo Natale, con la sua lunga barba bianca e gli occhi scintillanti, li accolse calorosamente. "Benvenuti, bambini! Avevo proprio bisogno del vostro aiuto. Quest'anno la lista dei desideri è più lunga che mai!" Così, ognuno trovò un compito da svolgere. Mattia e Filippo aiutarono a imballare i giocattoli, mentre Amelia e Alessia Tamara decoravano gli alberi di Natale con palline scintillanti e nastri colorati. Diego di Verde e Athena Jolene si occuparono delle renne, spazzolandole e dandogli da mangiare delle carote. Hanine e Tyler prepararono dei deliziosi biscotti al cioccolato, mentre Samuele e Leonardo costruirono delle casette di pan di zenzero. Raffaele e Eleonora, con le loro voci melodiose, cantarono canzoncine natalizie per rallegrare tutti. Safae e Zara disegnarono bellissimi biglietti d'auguri, mentre Traian e Alessio costruirono delle slitte giocattolo. Alessio, in particolare, era molto bravo a costruire e la sua slitta era la più veloce di tutte. A un certo punto, si accorsero che mancavano alcune luci per illuminare la fabbrica dei giocattoli. "Come faremo a vedere quello che stiamo facendo?" si chiese Melanie, un po' preoccupata. "Potremmo usare i nostri poteri magici!" propose Leonardo, l'amante della scienza. "Se tutti insieme concentreremo la nostra energia, potremo creare della luce!" E così fecero, mettendo le mani sulle pareti e immaginando una luce brillante. All'improvviso, la fabbrica si illuminò di una luce magica, creata dalla loro amicizia e dalla loro immaginazione. Babbo Natale, sorpreso e commosso, disse: "Avete visto cosa siete capaci di fare? La vostra amicizia e la vostra creatività hanno creato una magia speciale. Ricordatevi sempre che ognuno di voi ha un dono unico e che insieme possiamo fare grandi cose". Prima di tornare a casa, Babbo Natale chiese ai bambini di preparare un regalo speciale per un bambino che non aveva molti giocattoli. I bambini, commossi, si misero subito al lavoro. Disegnarono dei bellissimi disegni, scrissero delle lettere affettuose e prepararono dei piccoli doni fatti a mano. Luigi, ad esempio, che era bravissimo a costruire con i Lego, creò un piccolo castello per il bambino. Tornati a casa, erano felici e orgogliosi di aver aiutato Babbo Natale. Capirono che il vero spirito del Natale è donare e condividere con gli altri. E ogni volta che guardavano l'albero di Natale, ricordavano la notte magica al Polo Nord e l'importanza dell'amicizia.
