You can reinforce your toddler's schedule by creating a poster or image of the schedule and placing it in their room. This way, your child can look at the schedule every day and know exactly what the plan is. You can also refer to the schedule throughout the day to remind your toddler what they should expect. You may also include photographs of your toddler doing each action, such as a photo of your child at play time or a photo of your child eating at the dinner table. This can serve as visual reinforcement of the schedule. Use a clothespin or other marker to note which part of the schedule you are on, moving the marker throughout the day. This can help ease transitions and let your child know that to expect. A poster of the schedule can also be useful if you have more than one child in your household. Your children may be on different schedules, depending on their ages and needs. Having posters of each schedule, with visual images of each child, can help make it easier for your children to follow their own individual schedules. Though it is important that you maintain a set schedule for your toddler, you should not be too rigid or set about the schedule. You want your toddler to learn consistency and stability but you also want to be sure they can be adaptable in the event of a change. You may introduce small changes to their schedule, like swapping out late morning reading time for a walk outside or having lunch picnic style outside on a nice day. Including small changes can keep your toddler's days fun and interesting. You should still maintain a few non-negotiables in the routine so there is still a level of consistency. You may maintain the same wake up times, eating times, and bedtimes, but vary the activities between these times. Observe how your child adjusts to the schedule and make changes if necessary. For instance, if your child seems sleepy during lunchtime, you may need to move their lunchtime up so they can take an earlier nap. You should also try to vary up who does what for your toddler throughout the day. Adding variety in terms of who does what role in your toddler's schedule will ensure they do not become too dependent on one person. Maybe alternate nights where your partner or a family member puts your toddler to bed so they do not too dependent on you always being there at bedtime. You may also change up who serves your toddler lunch so other family members are involved in their routine. You may also have a babysitter come by a few times a week to give your toddler dinner and put them to bed so they get used to having people outside the family involved in their routine. You should make sure your toddler's schedule includes enough time for them to have fun, explore, learn, and engage with you on an intimate level. You should also make sure your toddler feels they are benefitting from the schedule in tangible ways. Use the routines in their schedule as incentives so your toddler is more interested in the schedule and follows it willingly. For example, you may make sure there is enough one on one time with your toddler throughout their daily routine so they feel they are benefitting from the schedule. You may also include some of their favorite activities in the play time slots of the schedule so they are excited for their routine.

Summary: Create a poster of the schedule. Be flexible when needed. Add variety to the schedule. Include incentives for your toddler to follow the schedule.

50%-70% cacao will do. You may need to chill the chocolate for several hours in the refrigerator before shaving. If you try to use room temperature chocolate for chocolate curls you will end up with thick, broken, chunky pieces of chocolate instead of thin, delicate shavings. Wrapped blocks of chocolate can be found at most grocery and specialty stores. Regular bars of chocolate will not work as they are too soft.

Summary: Find a slab of good quality chocolate. Finished.

Line up two of the plastic template pieces side by side. Then put a piece of tape at the top and the bottom where their edges meet. Make sure the tape overlaps onto both sides of the template so that it holds them together well. Then, tape the remaining two pieces to each end in the same manner. All four of the plastic pieces should be taped together. You can glue the pieces together instead of taping them. However, this will likely take longer because you have to hold the pieces together until they dry. Stand up the taped pieces on the bottom edge. Bend the pieces where you have applied the tape to create corners or creases at each edge. Then tape the two open ends together to close the shape. This is your hologram projector. It should now resemble a pyramid with a flat top. A single fish swimming or a flower moving back and forth works fine. Use a screensaver image or a video. Whatever image you display is the image that is going to be projected into a hologram. With the moving image still displayed on your smartphone, set your screen projector with the short end -- the 1-centimeter end-- down on your smartphone. The side facing up at you should be the 6-centimeter end, and it should now have the shape of the rhombus. If your image on your smartphone is still moving, you should now see a 3D hologram of it projected through your CD case projector..

Summary: Tape or glue the templates together. Shape the figure. Display a simple video or moving image on your smartphone. Place your hologram projector on your smartphone screen.

Add 2 tablespoons (30 g) of vegetable oil to a large pan, and place it on the stove. Let the oil heat on medium for 1 to 2 minutes or until it begins to shimmer. You can substitute butter for the vegetable oil if you prefer. When the oil is hot, mix teaspoon (1 g) of cumin seeds into the pan. Let the seeds heat until you hear them sizzle or crackle, which should take 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add 1 dried red chile to the pan with the cumin seeds. Allow the chile to cook briefly to help soften it and release its oils. You can find dried red chilies at Indian grocery stores, spice markets, and many online retailers. Add 1 cup (150 g) of finely chopped onion to the pan, and sprinkle some salt over them. Allow the onions to cook until they become soft and translucent, which should take approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Once the onions are tender, mix 1 teaspoon (2 g) of grated ginger and 1 teaspoon (3 g) of chopped garlic to the pan. Stir well to incorporate the ingredients, and allow the mixture to saute for 1 minute.
Summary: Heat the oil. Add the cumin and cook it until it pops. Mix in the dried red chile and saute the mixture for a minute. Stir in the onions and salt and cook until the onions are tender. Add the ginger and garlic and cook for a minute.
