My aunt sent the following video to my boys, and our whole family was mesmerized! She sent it to them so that they could see “what is possible with a LOT of practice!” Enjoy!

One of my seven-year-old’s favorite words is “microscopic.” Does your kid have favorite words like that? He’s always talking about microscopic this and that. So when I found this short video, I thought he’d like it, and he sure did! It’s really interesting too. If you have an older child or adult in your house interested in this subject, I recently heard a good program on NPR about this subject. They are doing a series.

My husband is reading my son the Magic Treehouse series, and they are on #20, Dingoes at Dinnertime, right now! It’s set in Australia, so they’re learning a bit about Australian animals. After reading the description of a Kookaburra’s call, my husband was intrigued and wanted to know what it really sounded like. He and my son found this video, which is quite fun to watch!

This video is very short (2:23 minutes), and it’s probably more appropriate to show to middle schoolers or high schoolers…kids who are starting to seriously think about their futures. (But I did show it to my six-year-old, and he said he liked it.) I want to post it here because you may have older children who could benefit from his advice, and I want to have it available for the future when my boys are trying to decide what they want to do with their lives.
It’s also very inspiring for adults. I hope you enjoy it.
But this video made me think of something I’ve often thought of – how we hear these inspiring words from “successful” people who have “made it.” But what about all the people who have worked their butts off to achieve a dream, and they never made it? And what if they are still inspiring because they have found peace and happiness in their lives? I wish I could read books by and listen to videos by those people. If you know of any, please pass them along…

My husband found this heartwarming video about a dog and an elephant who are best friends. My six-year-old enjoyed it, and it made me cry.
Even better, my husband found these curriculum (unit studies) for students about elephants from The Elephant Sanctuary. All for free! Check it out.
Enjoy!

This video requires no introduction. How cool is this? My six-year-old loved it. I heard a resounding “OOOOoooo….Ahhh….” as she entered the cupola and looked down at earth.
This was filmed in November 2012.

My son has watched this several times and wants to try to make some insects like this! My husband found this on Boing Boing.
