The more that you know from the start, the better chance you have of finding the perfect new best friend for your family. So before you adopt, ask yourself these eight questions about inviting a new pet into your home.
You probably played with those little green parachute army men as children. Children find watching aerodynamics in action exciting, and parachute guys really fit the bill. Last weekend, Eben and I made our own parachute guys using Lego mini figures and old plastic bags as the parachutes. This is a super fun activity that will keep your children entertained for hours as they find new and exciting heights to release their parachute guys from. We had the so much fun! The best part? These parachute guys are simple to make using recycled materials, and they’ll have your children playing in just a few short minutes, parachute over to Inhabitots to learn how.
