Why this breakfast is so funny

Dad, with messy hair, props his head on his hand, mom rubs one eye, and both kids have dozed off again – one with his mouth wide open. The table is set with rolls, bowls, mugs, butter and a jar of jam. Streamers still dangle from the lamp, the chair backs and the table edge, and a few bits of confetti float through the air. The retro cartoon style with its expressive faces is sure to make you smile.

The morning after New Year's Eve

January 1st is a public holiday in many countries, so lots of families sleep in. If you stayed up until midnight, you'll notice the next morning how important sleep is – kids need plenty of it to keep their bodies and brains healthy. A slow breakfast is just right, maybe with hot cocoa and leftover party snacks. After that, it's often time to tidy up together, take down the streamers and sweep up the confetti. And some families share their New Year's resolutions at the breakfast table.

Ideas with the breakfast picture

While coloring, talk about who in your family stayed up the longest on New Year's Eve. Then glue real leftover streamers to the lamp in the picture to turn it into a mini collage.
