“Rain, rain, go away, come again another day!” Being stuck inside because of wet winter weather is a challenge for active, curious kids. While computer games, the Wii and DVDs are a good standby on a rainy day, sometimes they are more trouble than they are worth, especially when they cause sibling squabbles and petty arguments. So what can you do this winter to keep your kids engaged and entertained when they can’t go outside?

Educational Games: What they can teach and how
The philosopher Piaget was famous for his theory that children learn through play. A child’s play is their work and they will learn through experiencing the world around them. Educational games and toys will aid a child’s learning of their physical world and their body, their emotional and psychological world and their impact on the world in terms of their speech and communication

Top 4 Creative Ways to Keep Your Valuable Devices Out of Kids’ Hands
The “Keep out of reach of children” message is a major issue for all parents, particularly when the phone, PDA, or some other important piece of machinery gets reclassified as a toy by the kids and they don’t understand why they can’t play with it. Toys are their territory, and these devices look and act like toys. This can be a complex situation, because the kids can also get the wrong messages from the “Don’t touch” approach.

Elmo is for Labour and Gordon One week to go and Gordon Brown has sounded off at one of his own supporters.
