Perusing the parenting blogs, we always find interesting ideas.
Trying to raise your child's IQ? Strollerderby on Babble.com is reading "Raise a Smarter Child by Kindergarten" and watched yesterday's Oprah featuring super smart kids including a boy who performed surgery at age 7.
Blogging Baby discusses possible paranoia behind a playgroup that banned tea and toast in the UK.
Kiddley.com has allowance jars for saving, spending, and giving from Stephanie at Little Birds .
Parent Hacks.com features her son's school project: constructing a geometric sculpture out of toothpicks and marshmallows and seeing if it can hold the weight of a book. Those better be some strong toothpicks or sticky marshmallows!
As a matter of fact, the marshmallow-toothpick creation you see here is version 2.0. Version 1.0 was less elegant but much sturdier. (They tasted about the same.)
Thanks for the pointer...I'm thrilled, and when I show my son tomorrow morning, I know what he'll say: "I'm famous!"
