First, an admission: I started fifth grade without knowing my multiplication tables. Now, they teach multiplication in second or third grade. My kid will already be a leg up on me by age seven. Second, I have a worry that my daughter will be frustrated by math and will very quickly decide it’s not for her. That’s why I just bought these Multiplication and division flash cards. They are big, but not unwieldy and printed on both sides to save in bulk. We plan to get a start on the school year, so when the teacher first says “two times two,” she won’t be afraid of hazarding a guess.

Got it – get it!
This summer, suddenly popsicles are big around our house because a friend gave us this
SiliconeZone Popsicle Mold. What I love is that for a dad, for once to “make something,” all I have to do is pour juice (lemonade, cranberry, beer?) into the mold and stick it in the freezer. Then I’m a hero when I later call out, “who wants a popsicle?” I give them the popsicle without any guilt that I gave them something half poisonous and, except for the sticky fingerprints all over the piano, everyone is happy!

Got it – gotta get it!
This Oval Animal Storage and Seating Bag from Boon Inc. is a great invention. It’s a beanbag chair where the “beans” are actually all those random stuffed animals you’re tired of tripping over. The bag has 3 mesh zippered windows so kids can easily see in and grab the ones they need at the moment. So, don’t throw out all those stuffed animals in the middle of the night, stuff in this beanbag chair. At $59.99, the price may seem high, but have you seen the cost of a beanbag recently?
