Office supplies for kids? How did I not think of this. My kids are soooo getting a package of white paper for Christmas. They'll be ecstatic, and I won't be annoyed at the constant printer raids.

I love this post. Too many parents and children are victims of the one-use wonders. I am particularly glad that you mentioned the oxymoronic "learning games." Want to learn math with a game? Play a <i>real</i> game that uses math. Darts, card games (ones that really exist - there are some cool solitaire games), billiards (for geometry), etc. <br/><br/>I don't know about the Eyeclops thing, though. Snot magnified 200x? Awwwwesommmme!<br/><br/>Keep up the good blogging, <br/><br/>Brian Yours truly, <br/><br/>Brian Foley (a.k.a. Professor Homunculus) Great blog. I love this post.
