When do lasting childhood memories start? One of the great joys of parenthood is introducing your kid to the world and giving them a foundation of good childhood memories on which they can start building their life. A major way that parents try to build childhood memories is through adventures. Travel is easy enough when they’re infants (a baby is basically carry-on luggage that occasionally cries), but it gets trickier by the time they’re toddlers. Because hitting the road with a preschooler requires NASA-level strategic planning, many parents simply stay put, resigned to the fact that very young kids have childhood amnesia and won’t remember anyway. But building up a healthy reserve of future nostalgia with your kids is always...

The last two days have been so hot in the UK that we’ve had the paddling pool out, so it seemed like the perfect time to try some water based investigations. For each mini investigation I asked the children a question and then we discussed what we thought would happen and why. I’ve also got lots of non paddling pool water experiments you can try! 5 things to investigate in your paddling pool Will the sun make the water warmer? My 5 year old thought the sun would heat the water up if we left the water in the paddling pool during the hottest part of the day. We didn’t use a thermometer as I didn’t have one to hand,...
Despite its principal character being a rabbit, Warner Brothers was a little behind others in “hopping” wholeheartedly into TV production. It instead preferred to sandwich old animation into compilations with new wraparounds, such as in the successful “Bugs Bunny Show” package. It tried out a few pilots (not of the air variety), but none of them aired as series. After the conclusion of the first-run episodes of The Bugs Bunny Show, the program would go into endless rerun, largely ignoring the wraparounds and intended sequence of presentation of old material, and becoming a random packaging of the post-1947 cartoons. In the 1970’s, however, most likely inspired by the success of former studio veteran Chuck Jones in television specials such as...
The popularity of Baby Yoda is something of a double-edged lightsaber. On the one hand, he is introducing a new generation of kids to the world of Star Wars. On the other, The Mandalorian is a minuscule part of the entire saga. Watching the Star Wars movies in order is a must for kids who love Baby Yoda, but what order to watch Star Wars in is a matter contested as hotly as whether Han shot first. Also, the order of watching the Star Wars TV shows is an entirely separate topic from the order to watch the movies. So, let’s talk about how to watch Star Wars movies!Right now, all of the Star Wars movies — including Solo: A...
