FUN SITES:
My Fun Site has been divided into two pages for Jewish and Non Jewish sites.

Fun Sites are Non Craft sites of interest to children, parents and youth professionals. Many are geared to young children for at home or preschool use. With an extra listing for Jewish Fun sites. But I have a soft spot in finding craft and fun sites for teens too. Some might even be educational. (Sorry kids but education can be fun too!)

I have a new page for a great Scout/Guide Craft or Activity that my family has really enjoyed.

See my
EILEEN'S TREASURE
HUNTING CRAFTS PAGE.

The purpose of this page is to link geocaching, letterboxing and crafts together.

These activities are perfect for indivuals, families, schools, GEEKS, Scouts/Guides that want to earn badges and develope skills for:

  • Crafts
  • Using a compass.
  • nature walks.
  • Using a GPS.
  • Find paths to clean up in nature and parks.
  • Learn to read maps.
  • Carving skills. (Make your own rubber stamp for letterboxing.)
  • Journal keeping.
    • And more.

    Caches and letterboxes are hid in every state of America and all over the world.

    If there is not one in the your area then this would also make a great project to make a cache or letterbox and research a safe and fun place (on public property) to hide one.

    I am trying to update these pages into smaller catagories. Hope this helps you have more fun!
