My Gut Reaction To The Following Items Was "OMG I Want One"

No Comments »

Random links featuring goods for you and the kids. Make your child an entomologist because they're sure to get paid.

Quickly followed by… geez I’m an idiot (yet somehow I still want one).

ILikeCool’s Tricycle Lawn Mower find will allow your child to burn off energy, offroad through the lawn and do your work for you… oh, and slice their pets and themselves into teeny tiny pieces. Fair trade? You decide.

Butterfly Design’s Micarathena Species light box will peak your kid’s interest in insects and increase the frequency of nightmare-induced parental wake-up visits a million-fold. I placed a request for a mounted example of Cataglyphis bicolor… does that make me a nerd?
- apologies to anyone actually searching for meaningful Micarathena related content… my bad. Thanks to Rare Bird Finds for posting the link.

Apologies for the homepage link… this is yet another site that doesn’t provide deep links to help us bloggers spread their products. Dumb. Anyway, click “enter” then “waste” then “Cockrooooches magnets” for a product I would have endless fun with. Think about it. Fill your children’s pockets when they leave the house and instruct them to leave them randomly on surfaces (not in your home) they pass throughout the day.

Go through the same nonsense in the previous item but select BIB Target to for something for the babies… a, um, target bib. Nothing surprising here… however, if you dare select the “No Shit Chocolate” from the drop menu, well…

Sunday Evening Links For Parents

Let your kids learn to tell time using a traditional face clock with somewhat creepy animals on each hand.

In the age of digital clocks you can give your kid a hand up by teaching them to read time the old way… and make it fun with this tortoise, hare and race sign clock. The (somewhat frightening looking) hare represents the seconds, the tortoise is the minute and for some reason I have yet to understand the ‘race’ sign represents the hour.

Next up? A massively expensive reading lamp fashioned in the shape of a centipede. Good deal? Not a chance. Likely to scare your child half out of her mind? Absolutely. Do I want one? You bet I do… can I borrow $2,600?

Coffee make you happy (when your children would otherwise be driving you mad)? Make sure everyone knows it.

Kids will eat anything… and when they do you should prepare yourself to deal with the results. Poo-Pourri

Got A Kid With A Passion For Insects?

Butterfly prints and cards offered by Lushbella on Etsy

I was one of those kids who spent hours outside looking at and catching insects. I still have that passion with me today, though more time is spent searching for ‘bug shows’ on HD than out in the fields on my belly looking for something new.

Etsy seller Lushbella has some beautiful postcards and archival quality prints of butterflies that would suit any kid or adult that fit the profile above. Have a look and tell me what you think.
