That’s Why We Don’t Eat Animals
2 Jul 2009 | 12:25 pmThat’s Why We Don’t Eat Animals: A Book about Vegans, Vegetarians, and All Living Things by Ruby Roth. A friendly introduction to veganism and vegetarianism for elementary-age children, this book focuses more on the evils of factory farming than eating animals. This slant makes it more appropriate for the young audience. The animals are portrayed as whimsical characters. The pigs have huge nostrils, the chickens stay round as an egg, and the cows are lanky with long-lashed eyes. Animals are shown in family groups, demonstrating what their natural lives would be… -

Fireworks Safety
3 Jul 2009 | 7:33 amFire safety is a broad category. Did you know that in a typical year more U.S. fires are reported on July 4th than on any other day, and that fireworks are the cause for more than half those fires?

Lightning Safety Week – June 21 – 27, 2009
18 Jun 2009 | 7:25 amNot only is this Sunday Father’s Day it’s also the kick off of Lightning Safety Week. Lightning, the nation’s deadliest weather phenomena, strikes year round but summer is its peak season. Over the past 30 years, lightning killed an average of 58 people per year. This is higher than the 57 deaths per year caused by tornadoes and average 48 deaths to hurricanes. However, since lightning generally claims one or two victims at a time and does not cause mass destruction it is underrated as a major risk. Documented lightning injuries average about 300 per year in the U.S. but obviously… -

Kandinsky “Heavy Red” Mural
3 Jul 2009 | 11:01 amKandinsky used color in a highly sophisticated way associating hue with pitch and saturation with volume of sound. He even claimed that when he saw color he heard music. This mural is based on his painting titled “Heavy Red”. My mural has 36 pages to color and is 45" by 55" when complete. I’ve shaded the area that is to be colored red, and the other smaller shapes may be colored as desired. I can email my printable pdf file with instructions for just $5.

Marker Picture on Popsicle Sticks
1 Jul 2009 | 8:24 pmI’m not done with my popsicle obsession yet, and have tried a new combination. I wanted to try making a more realistic portrait to see how it would look on the wood.1. I started by making a board of 8 jumbo sticks that were glued in the back with 2 parallel sticks (trimmed so that their ends would not show from the front).2. Dry Wax paper is used for the drawing. This can be found at food supply stores and is generally used to wrap things like hot dogs. It should say “dry wax paper” somewhere on the package. Place a sheet over a picture that you like and trace in pencil. When complete,… -
Popsicle Stick Signage
29 Jun 2009 | 6:02 pmI’ve been experimenting with craft sticks and found they are pretty easy to cut with scissors and glue together to make your own signage. I trimmed the ends of jumbo-size sticks so they would lie flush to each other when I was making simple letters. Symmetrical letters worked well this way, such as the “A” and the “Y”. Others like the “T” and “H” I overlapped to make the glueing easier. When the letters were flush, I glued little pieces of stick to the backsides as shown in the back photo. Lastly, I glued all the letters to one long strand of sticks I had layered together. I… -

Kid’s Flag Art from San Diego
26 Jun 2009 | 11:52 pmI adore this flag that comes from Janet, a volunteer art teacher at STEPS (San Diego Center for Children) school. I understand that 10 boys got to choose which media they wanted to use as they filled in this red, white and blue flag mural. The result is a work that has unity of color, but keeps a random quality at the same time. I think what makes it so successful is that each panel is different, but they all look like they were done with great purpose and care. I’m guessing that no one was in a rush to finish, which usually shows in the results. AND I love the large, proud signatures.

[HRAP Kenya] First day of the pre-departure program
2 Jul 2009 | 12:08 pmThe first day of our HRAP pre-departure program was a great step into the beginning of our big trip. It made me realize “Wow I’m going to Kenya (AFRICA!!!!) in about two weeks” which is a big deal. To get us started Catherine laid out binders on the desks that included Kenya related articles to get us started with any research and extra information we may need to know for our trip (so we already knew where we're going to sit, lol). Then once we were all settled in we discussed or plane ride plans and found out that we would be flying to Ghana and staying in the airport of Ghana for 12… -

Smokey Bear Turns 65
30 Jun 2009 | 7:40 pmI remember hearing Smokey Bear when I was growing up reminding everyone, “Only you can prevent wildfires.” Smokey Bear has been reminding Americans about wildfires since August of 1944. Smokey’s still out there 65 years later reminding a new generation how to prevent wildfires. His message has made a big difference, from about 22 million acres burned in forest fires in 1944, to an average of 7 million today. Smokey Bear still works to get his message out. Many Americans believe lightning starts most wildfires. On average, 9 out of 10 wildfires across the nation are caused by… -
Catch Any Bugs Lately?
29 Jun 2009 | 8:33 pmI’ve been writing about bugs lately, because summer, kids, and bugs go together. Getting out in the back yard, or going to the park to catch bugs can be a great learning experience for kids, and a ton of fun. So today I have the Bug Bottle. The Bug Bottle is like a miniature bug observatory for kids. They can catch a bug, and watch it in the Bug Bottle then release it back to it’s natural habitat. While they have the bug they can look it up in a bug guide or the Bug Book included with the Bug Bottle to find out more information, check out the bugs body type, wings, and features.

Pre-Mattel Kirsten American Girl Doll
30 Jun 2009 | 7:22 pmOne of our readers, Stephanie, sent me some pictures of her dolls. I absolutely love the pictures of her Pre-Mattel Kirsten and American Girl Doll of Today #7. Dolls made before 1998 are considered “pre-Mattel” since Pleasant Rowland sold the American Girl Company to Mattel that year. While Pre-Mattel dolls are hard to find, they are still available regularly on eBay and if you are lucky you may find one at a yard sale or even a thrift store. -

Samantha’s Historical Case at American Girl Place Chicago

The historical vignette case from the Samantha collection was the last piece of her display to be removed from the store. I was told it was about to be removed so it could be replaced by the Rebecca display. I love these vignette’s they do for each of the historical dolls.

Go for the Goal
1 Jul 2009 | 9:32 amGoal setting is such an important aspect of sports. Whether you have your eyes set on the Olympics, a college scholarship, making the high school team, getting a time standard or learning a new skill, you need a plan. It reminds me of my favorite quote: USA Swimming features a really helpful article on goal setting by Dr. Amy Kimball in their series, the ABCs of Mental Training. In the article, Dr. Kimball outlines the 6 steps to effective goal setting: 1. Know where you are headed 2. Know how to get there 3. Identify milestones of success 4. Identify obstacles 5.

Sports Parenting – Another Reason NOT to Watch Every Practice
25 Jun 2009 | 8:40 pmAs a coach I have always recommended that parents NOT watch every single practice (see my article on watching practice from a while back)- for many reasons, but as a sports parent I know that sometimes it’s hard to drop off your child at practice and go run errands, go home or do anything but watch practice – you worry you might miss something. I often compare sitting and watching sports practices to sitting in your child’s classroom all day everyday – would you really do it? The practice field, gym, pool, studio, etc are also your child’s classroom. Parents… -

The people do not like the No Child Left Behind, and uttered "The name 'No Child Left Behind' is toxic."Wrinkling his brow under his… -

Sweet, Simple Fairies
30 Jun 2009 | 7:47 pmWe had a super-great time this morning sketching up a little family of fairies from a nice little book we picked up yesterday. Honestly, my drawing skills aren’t anything to write home about, but following the simple instructions in the How to Draw Fairies and Mermaids book (from Usborne), I couldn’t believe what I came out with. The concept behind my favorite fairies is simple–lay down a few splotches of watercolor (or markers, we tried both) then go back over and define it all with a fine black felt tip pen. It complimented some of the ideas in the book we’ve… -

You may have some too, but if you’re running low a bar of Ivory soap is perfect! For each boat you need a bar of soap (just make sure that they’re the floating sort before you start making the boat!), a toothpick or bit of bamboo skewer, and paper for a sail (we used vellum, but surprise, it’s not waterproof!). Use the toothpick to drill down into the bar a bit until it sticks in vertically. Cut a triangular sail from your paper and… -

Other important information include warnings for use when
