    Craft (or something) of the month clubs for kids?

    in General Education Discussion Board

    Posted

    Do you have any crafty relatives? My stepmom did this for both dd's 5th or 6th bdays - sent them a box a month for a year, with assorted craft stuff. One month might have a seasonal kit for a holiday, one cardmaking stuff, one foodmaking stuff..... They LOVED it, and it gave them something to talk to her about when we get together, and she can share her hobby.

     

    How sweet! This is actually a gift idea for someone to give her for her birthday, and the gift giver may enjoy doing something like that. Thanks! :D

    Craft (or something) of the month clubs for kids?

    Anyone know of any neat "craft of the month" or "SOMETHING of the month" clubs for kids that are fun? I searched a bit online, but wondered if anyone belongs to one they recommend. Also, are there any clubs like this that will send something every OTHER month? I'm looking for something like this for my 7 year old daughter since my son is going to get Lego Master Builder's Academy (it delivers every other month, so trying to keep it similar).

     

    TIA! :)

    No google-ing before answering this ? about Lewis & Clark Explorers..

    They would have been kinda sunk without her, I think. Lewis (I think) was very knowledgeable about remedies, edibles, etc, but when they were in a pinch, she knew what to do. She translated for them to the Shoshone, one of whom was her long-lost brother, and was able to get the expedition horses for the last part of their journey. Also, their boat capsized and she is credited as saving many of the precious supplies that went overboard. I'm pretty sure William Clark later acted as a father figure to her child (the one that went on the expedition).

     

    That's all I got.

    Legomaniacs: Series 6 Minifigures?

    in General Education Discussion Board

    Posted

    In the past, we've been able to print out barcodes that tell which minifigure is in each package -- is there a trick like this for series 6? So far my online searches have just said to feel the bag and try to figure it out. I just don't have that kind of time, and I need to fill some Easter baskets! :tongue_smilie:

     

    PS -- Series 5 and 6 Minifigs are buy one, get on 50% off at Toys R Us today and tomorrow! :001_smile:

    Anyone else affected by the tornado in Branson, MO?

    Yeah, December can be interesting. In 2010, we had a heavy snowfall on Christmas Eve. A week later, on New Year's Eve, we were ducking under a restaurant table at lunch while a tornado flew overhead.

     

    I can't remember what time the storm went through here last night, but in hindsight we should have gotten up and gone downstairs.

     

     

    I remember that, too. Seems like the past two years there's been one the week of New Years?:tongue_smilie:

    Deactivating Pinterest?

    in General Education Discussion Board

    Posted

    I set up a Pinterest account because I thought it would be an easy way to organize different links we use for school -- I was also under the assumption that my boards could be private. I was mistaken on both counts. :glare: I'm not trying to deactivate my account and it won't let me! Every time I click "deactivate" it just refreshes the "settings" page and will not deactivate.

     

    What am I doing wrong? :tongue_smilie:

     

    Thanks!
