    Mkay, DUH!  Did a pinterest search and how could I forget that one of my favorite blogs has a kid’s section???  A couple of the things I saw were “pea & stick” (or whatever it is CM called it…you know, the throw away stuff)  BUT mostly really great ideas!  And what I am most excited about is just on the first three pages I saw a TON of ideas for fun boy projects!  Hooray!  super excited!!  Here’s the link:

    Oh and PS  even on the one that I did see that was sort of a throw away project (a watermelon paper fan out of a paper plate), it gave a fun fact about the world record in a watermelon seed spitting contest being 68′ 9″!!  I’m sure my kids would love that!  Plus, you could get a tape measure and see how far that is, ask how far they think they could go…can you tell I’m really, really excited now??? lol
