Fun Plants
Posted On 2010-03-09 , 11:11 PM
Dear Diary,
 Did you know that some plants can be fun! That's right... fun! We can think of two, right off the bat without even Googling it - the Venus Fly Trap (Dionaea muscipula... don't ask us how to pronounce it. Google it! ^.^) and the Tickle Me Plant (Mimosa pudica). They're fun to have 'cause the Venus Fly Trap snaps its mouth closed really fast when a fly (or your finger) lands on it and the Tickle Me Plant closes its long leaves when touched and reopens them over a period of time.
They make fun presents to give to a friend, too. Bet you know someone who has a birthday coming up; wouldn't that be a fun present to take to the party? They may be a little hard to find at the garden shop 'cause they sell pretty fast, but you can grow them from seed or let your friend grow one as their own garden project.
Just a thought... about fun things you can do in a buzzing kids world.

Kids Homework Help
Posted On 2010-03-04 , 10:02 PM
Dear Diary, Let's not kid ourselves (no pun intended). We know most kids, if not all, hate homework. We did, too, once upon a time. So we wanted to do something about it; you know, help make homework more fun for kids. How did we do that? We added a new category to the menu: Fun Ways to Learn... and started with what we already had: The Dog Ate My Homework and Catch The Reading Bug as sub-categories.
We're working on a few more new articles with ideas that will really give kids some homework help with the heavy subjects. So Dear Diary, keep watching this spot, we expect to have at least one of them ready within the week. Kids homework help is on the way!
Update: As promised, here it is - Lapbooking. Watch for another one in the next day or two. ^.^
