Websites That Do It All Part IV: Entertaining and Educating Our Kids!
Whether you’re just trying to amuse your children while you prepare dinner or trying to really accomplish something important, this week’s sites are all unique resources for doing just that!
For the Entertainment/Education of our Kids
- Create Works of Modern Art - who hasn’t looked at the works of Jackson Pollock and wondered “why couldn’t I do that?” At Jackson Pollock, children and adults can both enjoy his creative, splattering artistic process!
- Find Out How Many People Share Your Name – How Many Of Me is a fun and informative site allows users to enter their name and determine just how many others share that exact same moniker.
- Take An Arm Chair Field Trip – a visit to Meet Me At the Corner’s Facebook page will allow kids to watch over fifty short videos filmed by other kids their age. (Parents must log in first) Young film makers review famous destinations, interview famous artists and writers and some people with unique hobbies!
- Turn a Cast Off into a Special Toy – Teddylux Recycled Cashmere offers a fabulous service: taking worn out or moth eaten cashmere sweaters and turning them into adorable stuffed animals! Using your old sweater or one of theirs, the hand crafters at Teddylux will add modern fabrics, grosgrain ribbon and buttons to turn out a unique and lasting new friend!
- For the College Bound Crew – At Zinch, high school students can create a free, online profile that highlights their talents, skills and interests in a way that a typical college application may not capture! Over 700 colleges are already using Zinch to find applicants who they would like to recruit. The site also matches students with scholarships!
