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?

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…

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…

“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.
