Do you remember the fun of paging through your picture books and board books pretending that you can read? Can you remember the first chapter book you read alone? Now, with children’s book subscription boxes,…

I like cooking. Actually, I should say I like the IDEA of cooking. Other than the occasional breakfast spread or grilling, I don’t find myself cooking fresh meals very often. Since my wife has finished school and is working full-time again, that means we don’t prepare many scratch meals these days. So when Freshly approached…

Art Ingels, the father of go-karts, was a hot rodder and racing car designer at Kurtis Kraft. In 1956 he initiated one of the greatest fun activities known to man when he built the first go-kart from a lawnmower engine and some scrap metal. Although super karts can reach a speed of 160 mph, the…

As my children get older, they don’t spend as much time playing with one another. This is especially true of my high school junior and her fourth-grade brother. One is interested in driving and hanging out with her friends while the other wants nothing more than to play video games. When I saw the Doodle…
One of the best gifts you can get for a child is something that keeps them engaged yet teaches them at the same time. When children are toddlers this is easy – the child is still learning so much about the world around them that most anything fun will be educational in some way. As…
Most of the STEM subscription boxes are targeted at older children. The Koala Crate from Kiwi Crate is not like most subscription boxes. And if you are looking to get a great gift for a young child, that’s great news for you. We’ve done a hands-on review of the Koala Crate in order to give…

Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a way to let your children have…
“Where do clouds come from, Daddy?” “Daddy, why does ice float?” Oh, I remember the days when my children would ask me more ‘Who/What/Where/Why?’ questions than the average cub reporter. While sometimes it got to be a bit too much, I loved that they cared about how the world worked. There are many different paths for…
