“Angry Birds” – “Angry Birds” undoubtedly is the one of the most popular kids’ apps, taking the world by storm since its release in 2009 in more than 50 countries. With 240 different levels, the player launches cartoon birds at their pig nemeses using a finger-activated slingshot. Each level gets progressively more challenging as pigs hide behind more solidified structures. There are a few versions of the game, including a holiday-themed “Angry Birds Seasons” and one based on the movie “Rio,” with the added element of mischievous monkeys. “Angry Birds” is quite the moneymaking behemoth, with a line of plush toys and themed recipes.
If you have a keen interest in children’s education or software program design, there are many avenues for pursuing a career in these fields. For more information, check out www.accredited-online-colleges.org.

Here is my favorite recipe and while it is not my own idea, it is the perfect messy fun every kiddo will obsess over. A great magic potion recipe to try with your kiddo. Grab a few ice cube trays, kool-aid packets, water, sprite or club soda and clear cups. Make different flavors of kool-aid to achieve vibrant mix of colors. Fill the ice cube trays with kool-aid and freeze. Once frozen add cubes, and sprite {or club soda} to clear cups. As cubes begin to melt the clear liquid will change colors and flavors. This is a fun treat for your kids and especially for parties.
This is the perfect opportunity to have some fun with your kids. A great rainy day or even a weekend project. I am incorporating this site into my three and one year olds preschool at home projects. A great resource for fun learning projects that wont bore the kids and especially me. How about those science projects your kid has to do for school? My fifth grader has had his share of at home projects. We scramble to find something interesting and usually fall short. The Recipes for Fun site is now my bookmarked go to site.
