Angesichts dessen, dass dieses Jahr irgendwie nichts so ist wie sonst, kommt uns unser #Frühlingsglück grade äußerst seltsam vor, und deshalb teilen wir jetzt lieber täglich einen kleinen #Lichtblick aus unserer Welt, um Euch – und uns alle! – vielleicht ein bisschen besser durch diese Zeit zu bringen.

Nebst ganz viel guter Laune, und die ist ja grade ganz besonders wichtig.

For our Lily Lux Notizbuch (Hoffmann & Campe 2010), I illustrated a practical sheet that makes it easy to identify the tracks of 36 common animals, such as eagle, beaver, bear, badger, squirrel, moose, duck, owl, ferret, frog, fox, rabbit, dog, hedgehog, cat, crow, cow, lynx, marten, mouse, otter, horse, rat, partridge, deer, heron, gerbil, red deer, sheep, pig, sparrow, pigeon, raccoon, weasel, wolf and goat. Next to this, we explain the behaviour of animals during winter. ➔
Just in time for the beginning of December, we now have a little advent calendar on Lily Lux’ website for you, packed with another illustration and another holiday for every day until christmas. We wish you a wonderful advent season! ➔
Thanks to the friendly enquiry from Alberti, we discovered the wonderful online treasure hunt of Geocaching and could infect Lily Lux with enthusiasm. So we didn’t just design a little puzzle, but as well – and we think that’s particularly exciting and wonderful – we sent a Lily Lux Notizbuch as Travelbug out to travel the world. ➔
We crafted our own advent calendars with a little help from Lily Lux, and now we may introduce you to our do it yourself advent calendar as a templated tutorial for you, including a detailed instruction how you can fill the calendar with your oen images or other things… we hope you enjoy it! ➔
