STORIES!

Kids activities and printables.

Pages upon pages of printable colouring... pages.

While this is a resource ostensibly for kids, I've found it useful in learning the art and science of sudoku, being a newbie myself. Plenty of simple puzzles, and strategies for solving.

Better than training wheels, this device actually teaches kids to balance, rather than just keep them from falling. Way to go forces of nature!

When I was a kid, I really wanted the game "Mousetrap". This reminds me of that game, and even though I'm not a kid anymore, it's still fun.

My eldest has been using MS paint for a couple of years, but maybe now's the time to get her using photoshop. She'll be better than her old man at it in no time, I'm sure.

A short HowTo on building Snow Lights. Definately one to try with the kids, after the dump we got last night in Saskatoon here.

A nifty little experiment that demonstrates just how little it takes to power an LED. Might be an interesting project to try with kids!

Apparantly, this is all the rage with the Japanese schoolkids. You just keep adding more dirt until it's dry, then polish it up!

This had to have been one of my favorite kiddie books. Grover, as always, is hilarious. I must purchase this, so that my children can also enjoy it.

FLOAM, the polystyrene microbead molding clay, is apparantly all the rage these days, and hard as diamonds to come by. This page tells you how to make your own. Follow extra links to demo movies. This looks extremely neat.

My daughters will love this. Via davidbau.com.

A simple origami lamb that kids can do with a little practice.

Blue's Clues Human Lead replica shirts. I'm _SO_ getting the Steve, and the blue Joe.

"Howtoons are one-page cartoons showing 5-to-15 year-old kids "How To" build things." Although honestly, I think that I'll be trying one or two of these things myself.
