A kid birthday party idea Artilce for Your Viewing
Keep The Kids Entertained While Traveling!

Today there are many items to keep the kids entertained while traveling compared to 10 years ago. Keep in mind that some of these ideas that I will be giving you are not only for traveling but will also get lots of use after returning home. Kids love pictures, so you might consider buying an inexpensive digital camera that they can take their own pictures with. Handheld video games are another big hit with not only the kids but mom and dad might like the blackjack or poker handheld games also.

Whatever your destination may be, just be safe, have fun and don't stress yourself out. Below are a few items that you might consider that the whole family will get some use out of.

Mustek 8" Portable DVD Player:
lets you take the show on the road or anywhere else you want to watch your favorite movies and programs. Plug your DVD player in with the included AC power cord or the car adaptor power cord or run it for up to 2.7 hours off the rechargeable battery pack. So no matter where you are, home, office, hotel room or even roughing it in the great outdoors you can watch your favorite movies and listen to music CDs and MP3s. You can even use this handy high-tech toy to keep the kids busy on long car trips.

KidKase:
Weighing less than 3 lbs, KidKase can support up to 15lbs. of weight on the fold-out table while attached to the seatback, allowing children an unlimited range of activities. A combination of high strength materials and advanced design techniques allow KidKase to achieve a high strength to weight ratio while providing a crush-proof envelope around valuable electronics potentially stored inside.

Attaching KidKase to the headrest is quick, secure and can be accomplished by most children. An ergonomic design allows kids to easily reach the interior of the KidKase while the fold-out tray is extended. Children can store coloring books, toys, travel games or homework and still have room their favorite drink stored in the side pouches. To facilitate the activities on the fold-out table, the interior of the KidKase contains removable, molded plastic trays which neatly hold markers, crayons, LeapPad cartridges and even a flip-up nightlight which extends play during night driving.

If your kids prefer moving pictures, try the Playskool Handheld Video Now Jr. Personal Video Player. The program discs are sturdy enough to stand up to sticky fingers and rough handling. The product performed well in GH Institute tests that evaluated sound quality, picture quality and skip resistance. Another product plus for moms and dads: earphones.

iPod Video:
Time for the world's best music player to take the stage for another encore. In 30GB and 60GB models that hold up to 15,000 songs, full-color album art and up to 25,000 photos, the new iPod makes the most of your music and more. Yeah, you've heard that tune before. Only now, you can watch it, too. With support for up to 150 hours of video and a 2.5-inch color display, the new iPod lets you take music videos and TV shows on the road.

Customer Review: More on Dinosaur Chess

I have more to say about this great program. I tried out 3 childrens/beginners chess programs on my 5-year old daughter:

1. Maurice Ashley Teaches Chess

2. Fritz and Chesster 1 & 2

3. Dinosaur Chess

The first 2 programs were written for older children and were too difficult for my daughter to grasp. Maurice Ashley Teaches Chess is for beginners ages pre-teen to adult (10+). It's an excellent piece of software, but my daughter can't read just yet so it is way above her head. If I sit next to her and guide her through the program's mini-games and activities she can pick things up, but I definitely have to sit down next to her and navigate through it the whole time. The Fritz and Chesster series are also excellent chess software for kids. But even Part I is too advanced for my 5-year old. It targets children ages 8-13, and it really does not teach chess in a pedagogical way. One has to wade through a long narrative and some non-chess related activities to learn the game of chess.

Dinosaur Chess targets 4-7 year olds and teaches the game of chess in a standard pedagogical way, where chess knowledge is presented in bite-sized portions from the basic building blocks to the most complicated concepts. In addition, all of the mini-games and activities are directly related to chess. Most importantly, my daughter can go through the chess lessons without me being present. Dinosaur chess is the best chess software for younger kids.

Dadi Jonnson has written a splendid review on Dinosaur Chess on ChessOK Cafe that you should look up and read.

Customer Review: A Classic to be shared

As a product of 60's Disney films, I purchased the DVD after my 8 year old son and 11 year old daughter went to see the Broadway production of "Mary Poppins". The kids started watching it immediately and I loved listening to them sing my favorite songs from the movie. Ten days later on a rainy Sunday we popped it in the DVD player as a family and watched it on the big HDTV in the living room.

I was amazed at the color, the skin tones and the digital remix of the score. I felt just as excited as the first time I saw it, was shocked at Dick Van Dyke's blue eyes, the creamy complexion of Julie Andrews and the sheer fun of this movie.

And my technie kids loved the story - "T'uPence never fails to make them sad about the pigeons at St. Mark's Square and I love that as a mother I'm sharing some of my own childhood.

PS - my son wants to be a chimney sweep!
