As aquariums go, the Maritime Aquarium is not very big, and it doesn’t have any spectacular live shows with dolphins or killer whales. But it’s very kid-friendly and it’s just the right size and has enough exciting stuff to keep even the most unruly 5 year-old occupied for a while.

This year is the International Year of Astronomy and to celebrate, a company is offering what they’re calling “Galileoscope” kits for $24 with shipping.

My son loves to watch videos and play games on his mother’s and my iPhones, but, as a parent, I’d rather he be learning something at the same time (let’s not get into any “you can’t learn from videos and games” discussions). So, I like the Spider Monkey (and other Big Green Rabbit) songs teach [...]

Yesterday my son spend about 90 minutes on the Playhouse Disney website. What was the object of his greatly expanded attention span? Ooh and Aah, the two cutest puppet monkeys this side of Disney.

Summer. That magical word that makes me think of… Well, books and computers. I’m a gal who loves a good book and as a kid I spent my summers reading dozens of books (and figuring out MS-DOS). So, I’m already planning my son’s summer outings to the libraries and bookstores in our area, [...]
