Run Out of Cleaning Products? Make an Effective Sanitiser in Five Minutes

How to Make an effective sanitiser at home?

The Magikbee team is focused on sharing constructive ideas for families at home while we practice social distancing. Today, following our first blog post “5 Indoor Activities to Do With the Kids”, we are going to look at cleaning products and how you can make an effective sanitiser at home. We spoke with microbiologist Dr Joana Moscoso graduated from Imperial College London about the correct use of cleaning products.

Demand for cleaning products such as hand sanitisers and disinfectants is extraordinarily high at the moment. Supermarkets and pharmacies are churning through stocks of these products. Some outlets have imposed restrictions on the number individuals can buy at once.

You might be wondering if there is anything you have at home with which you can create a disinfectant suitable for protecting your family from the coronavirus. Well, there is, and you need just one common household item: bleach.

Here’s what Dr Moscoso says about hygiene and the virus:

“Everyday we have new information about the new virus, SARS-CoV-2, which is causing the Covid-19 pandemic. Currently, we know that the virus is easily transmitted from person-to-person and that it can persist in the environment from a few hours to a few days. For these reasons, and to stay safe and prevent the aggravation of the existing health crisis, it’s important to:

Practice social distancing and clean regularly our hands and all types of surfaces.
For our hands, the best solution to kill the virus while protecting our skin is to wash them thoroughly and regularly with soap for at least 20 seconds.
For our clothes, a normal washing cycles should be used as far as detergent is added.

Soap and detergent are effective because the coronavirus is involved in a fat layer that is destroyed when it comes in contact with soap or detergent. For fast disinfection of surfaces, research studies and the WHO recommend the following magic lotions: either 0.1% solution of sodium hypochlorite (bleach), 70-80% solution of alcohol (if available and for smaller areas), or a 0.5% solution of hydrogen peroxide.”

How to safely use bleach

Bleach, a common household item, can be very effective in removing the virus from surfaces, as noted by Dr Moscoso. But there are a few things to consider when you homemake a sanitiser from that product:

Precautions with bleach

Bleach is a great disinfectant but in high concentrations can irritate your eyes, nose, mouth and skin. It also decomposes in light and heat and reacts with other chemicals, so must be used with caution.

2. Materials

To create an effective sanitiser, you will need:

Water
Bleach (usually found at a concentration of 5%)
An empty bottle
Spray bottle

3. How to make the sanitiser

For an effective, less irritant solution that can be used to clean delicate surfaces:

Mix one part bleach with 49 parts cold water. That translates to 4 teaspoons of bleach per litre of cold water.

For a stronger solution for dirty surfaces:

Mix one part bleach with 9 parts cold water.

Precautions:

⚠️ Do not use either solution on your hands or skin.

⚠️ Wash your hands after you have mixed the solution.

⚠️ Keep the solution in a safe place away from the reach of children.

⚠️ Keep the solution away from heat and light.

⚠️ Place a warning symbol (like this bullet point) on the bottle.

Products with this symbol can burn your skin. Be careful using them.

4. Tips for use

Volia! You’ve made a great sanitiser in just five minutes! Here are three ways you can use the solutions:

Distribute the sanitiser through the spray bottles
Take it with you when you go shopping
Cleaning the house (doors, keys, floors, surfaces)
Cleaning your car (doors, steering wheel)

You can use it to clean by wetting a cloth in the solution and wiping surfaces with that cloth.

Dr Moscoso adds that “we have adopted these recipes and practices of disinfection at home since we started the social distancing. We haven’t looked for those ready-to-use disinfectant products available on the market, making them available for those who need them most, like people in hospitals and health centres, or workers are unable to work from home given the nature of their jobs and are at an increased risk of exposure. I hope these tips help Magikbee’s followers, keeping them safe and preventing the dissemination of the disease.”

We hope these tips help parents and families transform this difficult time into something positive. If you have any suggestions for things to do at home, we would love for you to let us know. Email João at Joao@magikbee.com or get in touch via social media and we can share your ideas with other families. Let’s all contribute to improving the day-to-day lives of many families!

5 Indoor Activities To Enjoy with Kids While Staying At Home

Parent Tips

Indoor activities with kids

We are facing a challenging period thanks to the coronavirus. The foreseeable future, all of our daily routines have drastically changed and it is essential to come up with strategies to organise our “new life”. Here at Magikbee, we thought of various ways to help you and we will over the next few days share a range of fun indoor activities suggestions for you to enjoy at home with your kids.

We hope that by the end of each article, you’ll have more ideas and plans for how to organise your time. Ready?

1) Plan your work schedule

Good planning is essential to getting things done. Start by considering the time slots you have available each day. Assign each slot to the various tasks you must complete, such as professional work, caring for your children, cleaning, cooking, and physical exercise.

For example, let’s look at how Magikbee team member João has been managing childcare. The below shows the calendar that he created to organise his family of four (three adults and one three years old) that have been in isolation for twelve days now.

The materials used were simply: a ruler, a pencil, cardboard, and stickers.

Each sticker represents a family member – the bird is the child’s mother, the moustache the father, and the eye is the aunt. The three-year-old this way is supervised all day, allowing time for the adults to organise their remote working, cooking, and cleaning.

2) Hide and seek

So, what to do with the kids? Think back to your childhood and remember the games you used to love to play. While kids today are more exposed to technology, the old school games are still universally loved. And hide and seek never fails!

There are dozens of other fun games you can play, too. See here a great list of ideas on Wikipedia.

3) Enjoy safe and fun videos on kiddZtube

Kids love traditional games, but they are also crazy for technology (who knew…!). With kiddZtube, you can offer your kids a fun way to watch videos… knowing that it is educational and, most importantly, 100% safe! If you need to keep your kids busy and entertained while you focus on working, cooking, or cleaning, kiddZtube is here to help. Check out more about the app – which is available on Android phones and tablets, iOS devices, Amazon Fire TV, and Android TV – here.

4) Indoor sports activities

One thing we must be alert to when spending so much time at home is our health. There are many ways we must look after ourselves. But make sure you continue to be physically active is a relatively easy but crucial thing to consider.

Below are 25 exercises that the whole family will love! Here’s a tip: set aside time for one of these activities twice a day – 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the evening, for example. If that sounds like too much, 10 minutes for each activity is still a great start. Any physical exercise is better than none!

5) Help your kids’ schoolwork

Many kids will have to continue their schoolwork from home, whether a worksheet, drawing, or reading. Parents can set aside time, such as in the above calendar, to help their children with this work. It a great opportunity to work and learn with your kids.

We hope these tips help parents and families transform this difficult time into something positive. After all, we just want that #EverythingWillBeAlright.

If you have any suggestions for things to do at home, we would love for you to let us know. Email João at Joao@magikbee.com or get in touch via social media and we can share your ideas with other families. Let’s all contribute to improving the day-to-day lives of many families while at home!

Bett 2020: Taking our Safe Video App to Educators

Company News

In the final week of January, just two weeks ago, the Magikbee team attended Bett 2020 in London. We did so to introduce the global education community to our safe video streaming platform, kiddZtube.

Bett is an education technology conference. It is one of the biggest of its kind in the world, with 850 companies, over 100 startups, and 34,000 people attending the show. Bett takes place at the ExCel centre in East London.

At the show, we met teachers, school leaders, parents, and business folk – all of whom gave us positive feedback. Our messaging around combining safety and education with fun resonated deeply with the Bett audience.

Hugo, Magikbee CEO, showing kiddZtube to a group of school children.

Up to now, our clients have principally been parents at home, and we’ve seen great growth in the past year. We are delighted also to have launched kiddZtube on Amazon Fire TV as well as Android TV, enabling families to enjoy watching safe videos on their television.

At Bett, we confirmed that there is strong demand for kiddZtube in schools. We had been aware of the value the platform could bring to educators, but we were surprised by just how many wanted to see kiddZtube in their schools!

kiddZtube is a collection of thousands of safe, educational videos, hand-picked by real-life teachers. Each video contains pop-up quiz questions that cover spelling, counting, colours, and other important core skills.

kiddZtube is a perfect extracurricular activity for schools. One example of how the app can be used is in after school clubs, where often there are many children that need to be entertained, yet relatively few adults supervising.

With kiddZtube, teachers can keep kids busy and know they aren’t at risk of encountering inappropriate content. Answering the quiz questions in teams is lots of fun, too. In break or recess is another great opportunity for kids to have fun and learn with kiddZtube.

Having met loads of teachers and senior school staff members at Bett, we are excited to push ahead with getting kiddZtube into schools.

Feedback is crucial, particularly to products that are aiming to educate. At Magikbee, we are constantly engaging with customers as we try to improve kiddZtube and understand its strengths and potential weaknesses.

At Bett, we were exposed to a different type of feedback: we were challenged by educators who do not know us and are willing to question our very purpose. This was a healthy exercise that requires us to have a deep understanding of our product. We rose to the challenge and had robust responses to almost every query that came our way. But it serves as a reminder not to rest on our laurels, to challenge our own thinking, and to always continue to iterate and improve.

Overall, Bett 2020 was a very positive experience and we are very grateful to have had the opportunity to exhibit at the show.

The Importance of Mindfulness for Preschool Parents

Parent Tips

You have probably heard of mindfulness by now, but are you aware of the benefits of mindfulness for preschool parents?

Though an old concept, dating back thousands of years to ancient Buddhist practices, there has been a huge rise in interest in mindfulness in the press and popular culture in recent years.

Mindfulness is often confused with meditation. The practices are related, but not the same.

Mindfulness can help people of all walks of life, including parents. Let’s look at how.

So what is mindfulness?

Mindfulness, according to the American Psychological Association, is

“…a moment-to-moment awareness of one’s experience without judgment. In this sense, mindfulness is a state and not a trait. While it might be promoted by certain practices or activities, such as meditation, it is not equivalent to or synonymous with them.”

Mindfulness has been shown to help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, while helping to encourage positive emotions and improve quality of life.

These benefits are relevant to parenting, too.

Mindfulness and parenting

The fact that mindfulness reduces stress, anxiety, and depression is a good enough reason for it to benefit parenting. Stress and depression are strongly linked to negative parenting, while children whose parents have mood or anxiety disorders are more likely to suffer from them themselves.

But that’s not all. The practices of mindfulness, such as acting with awareness, observing, and non-judging of inner experiences, each have their benefits to the way you interact with your child.

Acting with awareness, meaning being fully attentive and conscious of the experiences in the present moment, is essential to good parenting. That’s because if you are truly present in the moment when interacting with your child, you can better emotionally connect with them and respond more effectively to their needs.

Observing, meanwhile, allows you to recognise your own thoughts and feelings, improving emotional intelligence and enabling you to empathise as a parent.

Non-judging is the acceptance of thoughts and feelings and teaches parents acceptance of their mistakes and their child as a human being.

Mindfulness at the Preschool stage

Mindfulness in parenting benefits children of all ages, but is particularly relevant during the preschool stage.

Dealing with tantrums requires patience and understand.

At this stage, frustration and displeasure in children often lead to bursts of emotion in the shape of temper tantrums – as preschool parents are all too aware! And as kids learn to socialise, they must learn that they cannot get what they want all of the time.

Mindfulness can help parents deal with these conflicts by reducing their stress, allowing them to respond more calmly to tantrums, and by being a better example to children of how to manage emotions.

Slowing things down

Sometimes, with the day-to-day management of running a family, parents just feel too busy to be fully attentive to their kids’ needs. That’s a problem.

Being a mindful parent often means slowing things down. Take a breath, and listen to what your child is trying to tell you through their behaviour! This is particularly important for parents of children with behavioural issues.

Be in the moment.

Meanwhile, stress can be detrimental to family life. As well as impacting relationships between parents, children pick up on stress; they notice it and they feel it. And in fact, studies show that parental stress is a larger source of stress in kids than schoolwork or peer pressure.

Mindfulness can help mums and dads manage their stress, benefiting the whole family. For more great tips on mindfulness techniques that you can use right away, check out this article from the INLP centre.

Top 5 Healthy & Easy Breakfast Ideas for the Kids

Top 5 Healthy and Easy Breakfast Ideas for the Kids

Parent Tips

Feeding the kids a healthy and easy breakfast can seem like an impossible task, – especially when you are under pressure to get to school, go to work, or start the day’s chores.

You also want to make sure they are eating the right stuff! It’s all too easy to reach for sugar-filled cereals when you are in a rush…

Can breakfast be stress-free and healthy?

Absolutely!

Here we’ve picked 5 healthy and easy breakfast ideas so that you and the kids have a fast – and nutritious – start to the day! Let’s go!

Egg-in-a-hole

Simple, and delicious. Source: Food Network

You may not know it yet, but this is a classic breakfast. When I was young, my dad would make these – he called them “Guy Gibby eggs”… don’t ask why – I honestly have no idea!

Egg-in-a-hole is simple: cut a circle in a slice of bread – wholemeal, to keep it healthy – and fry it with an egg placed in the hole.

You can use butter or olive oil – butter will taste yummier but olive oil keeps the recipe on the healthier side.

This is a super easy and fun recipe. The novelty factor of an egg within the slice of toast – and the satisfaction of popping the yolk – will delight the kids.

Full recipe here.

Green Monster Smoothie

Dress these up to make them a load of fun! Source: The Seasoned Mom

Speaking of fun recipes… this one is great! And you’ll sneak in some green veggies without anybody noticing – promise!

This is a smoothie made from frozen bananas, milk, spinach, and orange juice. There is no added sugar needed thanks to the fruit.

Whizzing it all up in the blender is a matter of seconds.

Dress up the cup to make it look like a monster for the fun factor – particular as Halloween is coming up! ?

Using very ripe, frozen bananas is key for a sweet taste and smooth texture. Your little ones won’t even know the spinach is in there.

A great brekkie but also a fun snack for any time of day.

Full recipe here.

Oatmeal

You may want to keep it simple for the kids, but you can spice up oatmeal for a delicious breakfast for yourself.

Not the most original recipe, but one of the greats! Use whole oats (rather than instant or quick oats) for a super healthy breakfast.

Oatmeal is packed with fibre, vitamins, and antioxidants and is a great source of fuel to last the whole morning. Don’t forget that they are also gluten-free!

Add fruit, nuts, and a dash of honey (or any other bits and bobs that your kids like) to make things more interesting.

Overall, oatmeal is a breakfast superstar.

Full recipe here.

Healthy banana muffins

Yum. Source: ifoodreal

Who doesn’t love a muffin?

Sadly, they normally aren’t the healthiest as they are loaded with sugar.

Happily, you can make them yourself at home. The result is a super tasty, super fast breakfast option for the kids.

They are simple to make, containing just applesauce, maple syrup, eggs, wholewheat flour, oil, and, of course, bananas! The riper, the better.

Full recipe here.

Banana palm tree fruit platter

Tropical vibes in October ? Source: Fat Mum Slim

Absurdly easy, crazily fun!

Fruit platters are great at any time of day, but if you are in a rush for brekkie, they are perfect.

All it takes is banana, kiwi, and mandarin – and a bit of creativity from mum or dad – and you’ve got a super cute and healthy breakfast ready.

Experiment with different fruits and designs to keep things fresh!

Our 5 Essential Tips for Keeping Your Kids Safe Online

Parent Tips

Every parent’s priority is to ensure their kids are safe wherever they go – and that includes keeping your kids safe online. This can seem like a daunting task.

But it is an essential challenge to manage, with 25% of kids aged six and under and 95% of teens owning a mobile device!

As we all know, the internet can be a dangerous place and with such wide access, it is the parents’ job to assure that kids are protected.

Fortunately, there are several steps you can take to increase your children’s safety online. Here go our top 5 tips for keeping your kids safe online!

Start discussing safety online as early as possible

As soon as your children encounter the internet – which at first should be via a parent’s device and, of course, supervised – begin the conversation about safety online.

Make sure you supervise your toddlers when they use your devices!

You can explain the need to be careful when using devices connected to the internet, in the same way that you teach children to be careful when crossing roads in real life.

Start with simple safety concepts – like not talking to strangers, just like in real life – and you can move on through the trickier stuff as they get older.

Keep the conversation open and understand what your kids are doing – and why!

Once your kids are using devices more independently, be sure to sit down with them frequently to discuss safety. Crucially, listen to them!

You should allow them to explain to you what they are doing, so you can understand their point of view and their motives. Articulating what they are up to will also help kids consider their actions online more carefully.

Get involved while your kids use their favorite apps!

Entering their world will enable you to handle any risky behaviour in a non-confrontational and constructive way – which leads neatly on to the next tip.

Don’t ban your kids from doing things you don’t like

Banning things that you are not comfortable with is not always the best solution. Indeed, it can often make it even more tempting for a child to explore the forbidden fruit!

Instead, you must make your son or daughter understand why a certain behaviour or website makes you uncomfortable.

In this way, you build a relationship on trust rather than fear. Make sure they know that when they are old enough, they will be able to use the internet as they please, but that as a parent, it’s your role to make sure they are safe.

Know which apps your kids use – and choose wisely

As noted in Tip 2, it is essential to listen to your kids and learn from them how they are using their devices and the internet.

You and your child can decide together on which apps they have access to. Of course, your job as the responsible parent is to make sure these decisions are wise.

This can be challenging, as kids will naturally want to use certain apps – social media, for example – before they are ready to do so. Again, your trust-based relationship on the topic of the internet and devices is crucial.

Fortunately, there are lots of safe apps for all sorts of things and for all age groups. We at Magikbee built our own – kiddZtube, the safe preschool video app. That would be a great option for a child who loves watching videos.

Our preschool video app – kiddZtube!

Spend time together offline!

It might sound obvious, but it is still a crucial bit of advice: spend time offline with your kids. Play board games, go to the park, or bake cakes together. There are thousands of 100% offline activities that you can enjoy with your children.

These activities are good for your kids – and good for you! Even light exercise, like a gentle bike ride, is great for your health.

Explore the great outdoors!

Meanwhile, teaching your child to enjoy real-life activities from an early age will help them understand the need for balance between time spent across the online and offline worlds. And they’ll also discover wholesome, healthy hobbies to enjoy for their whole lives!

There you have it! Our top five tips for keeping your kids safe online. Stay safe guys!

Join Our Online Safety Community Where Parents Contribute to kiddZtube

Join Our Online Safety Community – Where Parents Contribute to Our Preschool App, kiddZtube

Company News

Our Approach to Online Safety

At Magikbee, kids’ online safety is our priority. We’re a group of parents, so we understand the dangers that kids face on the internet.

A few years ago, we became really concerned with the type of videos that kids were coming across on popular platforms. That’s why we created kiddZtube, our safe and educational video app for preschoolers, where all of the content is handpicked by real teachers. This means the app is 100% safe.

kiddZtube, our popular preschool app.

The human touch of our group of teachers has helped kiddZtube become one of the top preschool apps worldwide.

Now, we want to further improve the app by actively involving you, the parents, in our ambitions.

Introducing kiddZtube Community

So today, we are delighted to announce the launch of the kiddZtube Community – where parents can share video suggestions for the app, recommend safe YouTube channels, and share tips about keeping their kids safe online more generally.

We will review every suggestion that you make, and if our teachers believe it is a good fit for kiddZtube, we’ll upload it!

We think this initiative will provide real value for you, the parents, and your children. Imagine, for example, that you know of a particular YouTube channel that your kid loves – but you’re concerned about giving her free reign on that platform. That’s where the kiddZtube Community comes in.

Just head over to the forum, share the link to the channel, and we’ll review as soon as we can. If our educators believe it is appropriate for the app, and decide to upload your suggestion, we’ll be sure to let you know!

So join us today in the kiddZtube Community!
