You're Smarter Than You Think: A Kid's Guide to Multiple Intelligences

First to recommend

Description

A great book to read with your children, as it outlines in plain English, the many ways that they are smart. It's a great way to increase your late bloomer's self-esteem as together you discover that intelligence is more than memorizing spelling words and multiplication tables. This book helped my "math resistant" daughter realize that she really does like math, and that even artists can be good with numbers.

"You're Smarter Than You Think" helps you understand multiple intelligences, so you can help your child tackle any subject and succeed with any curriculum. And if you are not careful, you may learn something about your own learning style too!

Garmin GPS 60

Description

This rugged, handheld global positioning system is perfect for beginning geocachers. With a GPS, even trips to the grocery store become an adventure --fun, interactive real-world math with a splash of cartography thrown in for good measure --plus you are guaranteed to never lose the car in the parking lot again!

Use this GPS to plan your next bike ride, road trip or family vacation. No more "are we there yet?" from the backseat, and they'll always know how long they have to hold it until the next rest stop.

Description

Hey, who couldn't use a little help with hand-eye coordination? From the moment I saw these I was hooked! Great fun for the entire family, especially fun to work the group tricks. My children have the glow in the dark lunastix, which make them a great take along for camping, picnics and parties. These are a must for littles (and not so littles) who have trouble sitting still, as the repetitive motion is surprisingly calming, dare I say "Zen?"
