Looking for a motivating tool for teaching Math? Dull worksheets and simple flashcards can make math so B-O-R-I-N-G. If your child is struggling to learn basic math concepts, try something more fun, like free computer games on the Internet!

On-line games that are entertaining and fun will be able to motivate your kids so they actually want to learn Math.

When the weather is nice, the kids (and Mom) are itching to get outside and play. I personally like the playing to learn approach. Did you know there’s an outdoor world of math and reading fun that awaits you, and all you need is sidewalk chalk, dice, and your imaginations? Anything we can do inside on paper can be done outside on the driveway or sidewalk, as long as we don’t care if it eventually gets “erased” by rain or sprinklers. Not only do the kids and I get to exercise our brains but we also get to exercise our bodies. I get to stretch my hamstrings and quads as I bend over to draw game boards or numbers, and the kids get to hop, skip, and jump around. Here are a few favorite sidewalk games I’d like to share. You can adapt any of them to the abilities of your children, and multiple ages can play together.

There are several holidays that tend to be easily overlooked, and Secretaries Day is one of those. This holiday is a little-known day that is observed on a Wednesday at the end of April and is actually now referred to as Administrative Professionals Day. Regardless of the nomenclature, though, these career professionals are the backbone of the office and should be honored on their special day. Participating in crafts can be a great way to take note of the very important work that secretaries do for their offices.

If you sell your arts and crafts patterns successfully you can take a pride in the millions of copies that have been made up around the world.

And the money isn’t bad either.

How much could you earn if you made up one of your designs and sold it? Enough to pay for the materials?

Now for the bad news

* You have to learn all the basics and work advanced patterns too before you can start.

* Designing is an art. Does every artist make money? No.

* Copyright problems can bankrupt you.
