If you’re looking for common-sense kid entertainment

This came across my desk:

At kidconcoctions.com, John and Danita Thomas have created more than 1,000 safe, enviromentally friendly recipes for duplicating toys like Moon Sand, Silly Putty, Shrinky Dinks, Super Elastic Bubble Plastic, sidewalk chalk and Chia Pets by recycling and using common household ingredients. According to their press release, John and Danita say “almost all of our concoctions cost under $1 to make and many times even exceed the quality of store bought items costing 20 times as much.”

“The Ultimate Book of Kid Concoctions” has sold more than 4 million copies, and the Ohio parents of four children have appeared on numerous TV shows.

On a related note, someone passed along this site: greentoys.com. Discovery Center Museum and Toys R Us come up as nearby retailers.
