Friday Fun: Bristle Bots
Posted on January 20th, 2012 2 commentsGot your geek on? (If not, see note at the end of the post.)
This is a fun little something sure to delight kids (and adults) and I just had to share it. All you need is a toothbrush, battery, and pager motor (the vibrating part–get that out of a dead cell phone) and a few other odds and ends. Put those together and what do you have? A bristle bot! It moves. It really, really moves! Check it out:
This is the one made by Evil Mad Scientist Labratories. You can see the how-to video (and see how it moves–around 2:30 min into the video) and read the full instructions here, as well as read the tweaks and tips in the comment section. I soooo want to try this!NOTE: If you don’t have your geek on, you can buy kits through Klutz. I bought this for my nephew for Christmas and my niece was wondering why she didn’t get one. Sorry, girl!
Have you seen any great geek crafts lately?

It’s All Kid’s Play Website
Posted on February 24th, 2009 1 commentThe It’s All Kid’s Play (dot ca) is now up and running. If you’ve checked out the blog, you’ll find that the website is simply a bigger version of the blog.
So if you have kids or know somebody with kids, pass the link(s) along.
What is ‘It’s All Kid’s Play’? Basically it is over 700 things for kids to do to prevent the dreaded two words “I’m bored” from escaping your child’s mouth. The site is totally free and sports activities from the rules to forgotten games such as ‘Red Rover’ to instructions for crafts such as ‘Make a Grass Hair man’ to car ride games like ‘Round-Up’ to general silliness like ‘Wiggle your toes in cold, wet noodles’. The site also has a jokes page, ‘other links’ page and a book recommendation page.
So stop on by and enjoy!
