FUN SITES:
My Fun Site has been divided into
two pages for Jewish and Non Jewish sites.
Fun Sites are Non Craft sites of interest to children, parents and youth
professionals. Many are geared to young children for at home or preschool use.
With an extra listing for Jewish Fun sites. But I have a soft spot in finding
craft and fun sites for teens too. Some might even be educational. (Sorry kids
but education can be fun too!)
My children are into
Japanese Anime but when they were a little younger they were into:
Pokemon, Digiman and Dragon Ball Z Gundam and more!
To find links to Pokemon sites and Crafts see their site:
Ronin's and Micah's Pokemon Links and Craft
Page.
Now has some other anime links and
crafts.
I have a new page for a great
Scout/Guide Craft or Activity that my family has really enjoyed. See my
EILEEN'S TREASURE
HUNTING CRAFTS PAGE. The purpose
of this page is
to link geocaching, letterboxing and crafts together. These activities are
perfect for indivuals, families, schools, GEEKS, Scouts/Guides that want to earn badges and develope skills
for: Crafts Using a compass.
nature walks.
Using a GPS. Find
paths to clean up in nature and parks. Learn to read maps.
Carving skills. (Make
your own rubber stamp for letterboxing.)Journal keeping. And more. Caches and
letterboxes are hid in every state of America and all over the world. If there
is not one in the your area then this would also make a great project to make
a cache or letterbox and research a safe and fun place (on public property) to
hide one.
I am trying to update these pages into smaller catagories. Hope this helps you
have more fun!
