And I’m not talking about sitting them in front of the computer to play video games.
My kids love activity books - coloring books, work books, mazes, you name it. They love them so much that I have gone through all of them at my local store.

My five year old son is currently obsessed with word searches (and I’m not exaggerating here - he has a one track mind - when he finds something he likes, that’s all he wants to do. I am hoping this is just focus, and not literal obsessiveness, and this focus will serve him well some day). So…. I have been on a hunt for an age-appropriate word search book for his stocking. Two bookstores, one craft store and one superstore later, no luck. On a whim, I just did an Internet search for “kids word searches” and bingo, up comes a page of links to sites with free word searches that I printed out, perfect for my son. I could have saved alot of gas and running around if I had thought of this in the first place.
My daughters love to color and were asking for holiday coloring sheets - same thing - did the Internet search and up came dozens of coloring pages. Best part - it’s free! Love your Internet - a money saver!

Hello,
I know that Rachael has a 5 or 10 minute Fudge recipe that was her mother’s. She said so on one of her shows.
HOWEVER, I have just spent 30 minutes looking for it and have come up with everything else. The closest I got was the 5 minute wreath but that is NOT what I am looking for. I wrote it down but in this house, things have a way of walking away…….
Any helpwould be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Charli

My kids were the same … they loved workbooks and worksheets. It got to the point that I couldn’t find ones they hadn’t already done so I searched online and found an amazing site that generates all sorts of work sheets for all ages … early years right up to SAT prep sheets. You name it, they have it!
The website is http://www.superkids.com A must have on your list of amazing sites for kids!!

If you have any children that are interested in trucks, this might be an interesting one! It’s a ride in a 1953 Bullnose Kenworth cabover.
