Reddit user “Its4forScience” says, “So, I built a spaceship simulator for my son. I hope that it inspires him to have a life-long love for science and wonder.”
We say, “Right… ‘for your son…’”

From Toddle Tales: “A baby’s teddy bear is sacred. They eat, sleep and play with them all day and night. The world’s laziest baby wants to take a nap with his teddy but can’t reach him., so he creates a Rube Goldberg Machine.”
If you ask us, this baby is NOT impressed. Was this Kayla Maroney at a young age?
Uh… upside down Thursday? For this week’s Throwback Thursday, we give you The Magic School Bus theme song but upside down? Why? Why not! It’s how the Frizz would have wanted it.
In 1994, The Magic School Bus concept was made into an animated series of the same name by Scholastic Studios, and premiered on September 10, 1994. Forte says that adapting the books into an animated series was an opportunity to help kids “learn about science in a fun way”.

Ok, so it might not be this: http://youtu.be/eBRYsAfchkY, but this cover of a PBS KIDS Show has got our attention, Tim!
Happy Monday!
Throwback Thursday: WE WANT OUR KIDSONGS! From 1985-1995, Kidsongs aired on PBS KIDS much to the delight of kids - and 80’s music lovers - everywhere. An oldie, but a goodie.
From Wikipedia: “Airing as part of the PBS Kids, “Ready to Learn” block, “The Kidsongs Television Show” aired throughout the country and by 1998 reached 89 percent of households.[14] Many of the original Kidsongs videos were used in the public television series along with new educational content and in-studio guests. The kids are joined by the adorable fantasy characters Billy and Ruby Biggle and their magical friends from Biggleland. The Biggles help the children resolve their problems and concerns in a comforting and kind way. They address age-appropriate issues, such as not wanting to share, jealousy, friendship, telling the truth and patience.”
