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.
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.
