I found this article in a parenting magazine. It suggests ways for dads to help their kids learn skills; all of these methods are sports-related. The kids shown are both boys and girls, but I think it’s interesting that since it’s advice for dads, everything has to be put in terms of sports; I don’t think you’d see similar advice for moms. I suppose it is good that the article assumes that men do household chores, though.
Here are some examples: Laundry-Basket Rebound (practice tossing laundry into a basket), Toddler Free Throw (for unpacking groceries), Bowling for Brainpower.

On a related note, have you ever noticed that "Parenting" magazine (often found in doctor's waiting rooms) has a subheading that says "what matters to moms"? Every time I see that, it still blows my mind.
Parenting = moms
having fun and playing sports w/ kids = dads

I did notice that Parenting Tag LIne--does anyone know when it changed? I don't recall seeing it before last month. By the way, GREAT book out--it is HOME TEAM ADVANTAGE: The critical role of moms in sports. I read it last week after a father on my girls team told me about it. Title may throw you--it is actiaully for anyone involved in sports kids. It is brilliant as it pegs the problem with youth sports as the lack of women/moms to balance out the hyper competition.

I think the Parenting tag line has *always* been there. It's been bugging me for years!

Foam Cannon Party Machine is a new invention that allows you to shoot your own foam at people. The foam cannon works by using a compressed air source, which makes the foam come out of the nozzle at high speed. It's a relatively new invention, but it's already making waves in the world of entertainment. Additionally, foam cannon party machine is an excellent way to get everyone involved in your next event or party!
