Kids' Web

I've been collecting these for a while -- just some fun stuff for kids online.

Category I: Rube Goldberg Machines

Emmet is totally obsessed with Rube Goldberg machines -- you know, those elaborate, nonsensical contraptions where one action sets off a series of other actions.

HEMA -- Dutch department store website. Let the page load and you'll see all its tricks.
The Cog -- a Honda commercial on YouTube

Category II: YouTube

Pancakes -- a longtime favorite
Feist: 1-2-3-4 -- music video with great colors and dancing
Lucy and Ethel at the Candy Factory
Mary Poppins' Spoonful of Sugar

Also, Sweet Juniper has a good list for the preschool set.

Category III: Interactive

Bembo's Zoo -- making animals out of the alphabet
Faces in Places -- the Flickr group's blog (that's my contribution above)
Lunchtimers -- a game to play with letter magnets
Jackson Pollock -- make your own Jackson Pollock design
coloriage -- coloring with the mouse

If you have more, leave them in the comments.

Listening to: The Beatles Channel, Sirius XM. Ever since watching Get Back , the Beatles documentary, I've enjoyed listening to them with new ears.

Actually, I have lots of Halloween ideas. I’ve put together a few sample ideas for some of my favorite bloggers. If you find yourself in need of inspiration, send me a link to your blog, or just describe what you’re doing on Halloween night, and I’ll give you a hand. Emily and Rob : Alice and Ralph Kramden ! Soletrain : ODB . Wouldn’t you pay money to see Uncle John wearing a grill? Anyway, I’m sure he already has the outfit. He just needs to accessorize with a 40. Bunny Tomerlin : Goth princess . Because I bet she’s never even worn PVC. (Polyvore set via Haley ) Grosgrain Garage : preppy Jesus – Bonnanos, tunic with gingham trim and a ribbon belt, pearls worn as a thorny crown Megan: Now that she's succumbed to making wreaths , Mega
