First Human Body Encyclopedia

The Kingfisher First Human Body Encyclopedia teaches you about your body and the food that you need. I like to read it, usually at night. One thing I learned is that your body temperature should not be higher or lower than 98.6 F. The skull is made up of 22 parts. Babies have more bones than adults. The bones join up together and become fewer bones.

Note from Mom: Caleb is using the Kingfisher First Human Body Encyclopedia for his Health/Science book right now. He loves reading it and often shares what he's learning with me and his siblings. The sections are nice and short and great for reading and discussion. The 3 year old and 5 year old even enjoy looking at the pictures and they ask me questions about the body.

Geography Fun For Kids

I have a Geo Safari World. You have to answer questions about Geography. And if you get the right answer you get ten points for each one. It's really fun. It's a globe and it has buttons, it has an on and off button. It has a volume button. You can even get help on it. And there's a repeat button too.

I've learned the capital of Syria, which is Damascus. I've learned about the oceans and I can tell you one of the islands in the Indian Ocean. The Cocos Islands, the Christmas Islands. Sri Lanka- that's a big one. It's near India. I've learned about the continents, like Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America.

Note from Mom:
This globe/game has made geography fun for the kids. Caleb and his 5 year old brother love to play it and it surprises me how well they score on the questions. Instead of just reading the child can look at and touch the globe which seems to make geography easier to remember.

Business Ideas For Kids

Mom here. :)
All of my kiddos have their own websites. It's a way for me to sock some money away for them, but I hope that as they mature they will take over a bit and get excited about online entrepreneurship.
I have a free ebook you can download with online business ideas for kids. Here is the link: Business Ideas for Kids- A Parents Guide to eBiz. Enjoy and get inspired!
