Mea Culpa


               Well, this post a day late.  Sorry about that. Yesterday was a day off from school and Feisty Pants was bored.  Or to be more precise, I was BORRRRRRRING.  Or so I have been told.   So we spent the day, looking for fun 'tuff to do.
               So, to perhaps pay penance for my evil sin of being officially boring to children, I am posting these links of officially not BORRRRING things.  All bear the Feisty Pants' seal of approval.  Mostly.  When she is not crabby.  In no particular order.
  
20Q.net- This one is entertaining for everyone. It's basically twenty questions against the computer-
very much like the 20Q toy, but free.
 20Q.net 
 
Kaleidoscope Painter-  This is a cool little online painting program.  It reminds me of a cross between         spirograph and a paint program.  Visually hypnotic.
 
FWIS- Readymech-  This is a site of printable downloads that turn into toys.  You print out the image, cut and paste/tape and voila! homemade toys.   I don't know any kid this isn't a hit with. (Heck, most of the adults I know like this site.)
 
Poisson Rouge (Red Fish Soup)-  Simple site with stories, games and an intereactive encyclopedia designed to used by all kids, no matter what type of learner they are.  Fabulous and always free.
 
Crafting a Green World- A nice diy craft site.  The difference with this one is its emphasis on being ecofriendly. This link should take you straight to their kids page.

 
Eyewitness to History- I love this site.  It is page after page of stories from different periods in history.  Written accounts written at that point in history. Older kids will get a kick out of the stories, little ones will love you reading it to them.
 
So hopefully these might save you from being way too borrrring too.  Or at leastkeep you out of the doghouse next snow day.  Good luck.
