Emil in Skansen

Skansen, the world's oldest open-air museum showing the rural life of the different parts of Sweden, had a great program for kids on the weekend ending 25 May 2014. Emil i Skansen!

There was no lack of the characters from the Astrid Lindgren's novels.










A very patient horse, and so nice to kids!



These two ladies look as if they have just come from the book.





There were home-made Emils...



And even home-made Zlatans! Well, to be fair Sweden loves both Zlatan and Emil, so that is justified.



Emil is an active boy full of curiosity and childish games. Means a lot of it should be present on his day! So what was offered?

What about to paint the faces?





Angry? Break some dishes!


Walk like Emil!



How far can you jump in this?



 Hay fun for the whole family.



 Oh, and this is my favourite. These two young ladies seem to feel comfortable surrounded by hay.



And even a tot can find what to do!





The little train.


 Signs of Emil are everywhere. Here is his hat forgotten on some equipment.



Emil could be seen everywhere, even in the remote spots of Skansen.
