Creativity For Kids Spark!Lab Smithsonian "Invent Super Shoes" Coloring Kit


I just got this today, it is a very cool kit.  I have a grandchild who is quite creative and this will resonate very well with a kid who always wears two different color socks just because he can.  The ability to customize his sneakers will be a treat.  Anything that encourages creativity is great in my book.

Samsung FlipShot-ho hum

I just got the Samsung FlipShot aka SCH-U900. If you haven’t noticed by now, I am very family oriented, specifically focused on grandchildren. I frequently lament that I don’t have my camera on me.
