Wanted to let you all know about a cool new feature over at the Educational Toy Factory blog: Thursday Thinker.
My kids have gotten into the bad habit of immediately turning the tv on when they walk in the door from school. They’ll both give me the abbreviated version of their day at school then it’s tv. Not proud of it, that’s just the pattern we seem to have established.
Today I plan on throwing them a curveball by printing out the Thinker Thursday puzzle and having them solve it instead of watching television. That ought to put them in a really good mood, especially since after homework we have to write overdue thank you cards for our Christmas gifts.
I can hear the groaning now!
