Earth Tones: Eco Ego Game for Kids, via Inhabitat
Videogames have huge educational potential — not only do they teach kids strategy but the content can be thought-provoking too. Take for example Eco Ego, a free online game that lets kids (and adults) roleplay a sweet little creature living in a tree stump. The goal is a Sims-like equilibrium with the …
Etsy Finds: Tennis Flip Book
Tennis was but one of the sports I attempted (and failed) to master in my gawky youth. My dad would take me out to the courts by the community pool to practice my swing, but I would mostly cower by the fence, unable to return his serve.

Being a kid automatically allows you to have fun at everything you do. The only thing you have to stress over is homework and your parents grounding …
Etsy Finds: Elephant Puzzle
My son loves animals, especially when they are in puzzle form. To see him get excited when he is done and mimic the sound the animal makes is really fun. We’ve purchased puzzles in the past that have been poor quality. After usage, the paint comes off and some puzzles have even had splinters. I would much rather …
