Children often foster a love for all things transportation, including planes, trains and automobiles. Encourage their love of aviation by playing fun airplane games. Keep the age of the children in mind to tailor games to their abilities. Play the games with a crowd at a party, or tweak the games for individual play.

But if your child is obsessed with airplanes, chances are he’ll want to host an airplane-themed birthday party. Use airplane twists on old games to get the party started. This way, children won’t have to learn a completely new game and can join in the fun right away.

Also there is PC kids aeroplane games like :

Wings 1915

You are in the first world war and you pilot an aircraft of the ally air force. Your mission is destroying enemy planes. Kill your enemies and do not let them hurt you.

Making kid’s bedroom more fun

Here’s airplane decor ideas for those budding pilots in the family. Blue sky and fluffy clouds is what I think of when I think airplanes. Behr Paint has a color called Blue Glass that’s the perfect shade of sky blue. I’ve use it before, and sponged watered down white paint over it to add atmosphere and clouds.

If your child is a little older, maybe you could do some model airplanes together, and hang them from the ceiling. I love the Fantasy Flyer ceiling fan shown here. If this style of plane works in your kids room, then you gotta get one of them! As an alternate, if you go on Ebay, you’ll find custom painted fan blades that will have airplane theme designs on them that may coordinate better with the look you’re going for.

If you can get your hands on an old propeller hang it on the wall just for the looks, or if it’s not a collectible piece, screw some clothing hooks into it and use for hanging up jackets, hats and robes.

Walls and Floors

There are several ways to use the walls and floors to bring an airplane motif into a kids’ room design.

Use self-adhesive wall borders with vintage airplanes around the room at ceiling level, or create an artificial chair rail with airplane wall borders for a minor accent with big impact. For a bigger impact, choose one wall and paint a mural featuring vintage airplanes or choose a wallpaper with a sky and plane motif.

The simplest floor design option is to put down an area rug patterned with airplanes and clouds. When or if the child outgrows the airplane design, the rug can be rolled up and tucked away. If parents are willing to put a bit more work into the design, a stenciled border of different airplane styles can be a dramatic accent in a child’s bedroom.

The most important things to keep in mind when designing a room with an airplane motif is that floors and walls are a framework and a canvas. Children change their minds, and walls and floors are the most difficult part of the design to change when that happens.

Bedding and Window Dressing

When deciding how prominent to make airplanes on the bed or the windows, keep balance in mind. If the walls feature an all-over airplane print or mural, choose a more subtle print, pattern or solid for the comforter and window treatments. If the walls, ceiling and floors are plain, or if the only airplane accent is in a wall border, go bolder with airplanes on the bed and the curtains.

The windows and bed compete for billing as the second-largest canvas in a bedroom. A quilt or comforter with airplane appliques on the bed is a very quick, inexpensive way to extend the airplane theme in a kids’ room.

If the walls are busy, though, consider a couple of throw pillows with airplane appliques instead.
Window treatments likewise offer many subtle ways to bring airplanes into the bedroom decoration.

Consider mini-blinds or solid color curtains with airplane-patterned valances, or cut wooden valances for each window and paint with brightly colored planes and clouds.

Details and Airplane Wall Decor

Even a plain, basic room will come to life with airplane wall-hangings and artwork. Name plaques in wood, metal or resin can add both a personal note and a touch of jaunty aeronautics while a lamp with an airplane base can transition from an infant’s nursery to a young boy’s room.

For an older boy, consider hanging scale model airplanes from the ceiling on fishing line, or displaying a treasured collection of airplane memorabilia on custom built shelves. Other airplane-themed design accents for teen and tween bedrooms include wall clocks with airplane pictures and posters of vintage and futuristic airplanes.

Flexibility and Growth Potential

Use an age-neutral background for the larger parts of the design theme, and fill in with airplane-themed accessories and decorations that are appropriate for the child’s age. That way, as the child grows, parents can change the wall hangings or bedspreads and grow the room up along with the child.

The great kids wall stickers to appliques and make your kids bedroom or playroom a fun place to be.

When ?

If you want an original way to redecorate your home without having to paint or make holes in the wall, all you need are some vinyl wall stickers. These decals substitute for classic painted wallpaper.

Why ?

You must know that a kid’s room is their clubhouse, their castle and haven. As you watch you children grow and develop interests, you want their hobbies and imagination to be expressed.

Where ?

Wall graphics stickers are great for instantly transforming nursery or bedroom walls into a bright, colorful graphic scene any kid would love without touching a paint brush!

How ?

1- Prepare the surface. Clean and dry surface thoroughly before applying any sort of vinyl sticker. If the wall is freshly painted, wait a couple of days until the surface has absorbed the paint.
2- Prepare your design. Before peeling off the backing, move the sticker around and change its position. When you see it on the wall, you’ll get a sense of how it’ll look and you may get new ideas.
3- Rub the back of the sticker with a credit card, a spatula, or with your hands before you peel it off.
4- Carefully peel off the top of the paper stuck to the back of the vinyl.
5- Apply the vinyl wall sticker. It’ll look better if you hold down the corners and carefully smooth out the rest of the vinyl wall sticker as you press down on it (in order to prevent air bubbles from forming) and then slowly peel off the back.
6- Peel off the front of the sticker. It’s a thin transparent layer that serves to protect the sticker so it won’t be damaged inside the box.
7- You’ve successfully applied your vinyl wall sticker. If air bubbles appear, you can easily remove them by poking them with a needle.

What ?

You must choose the right design for your kid, the most beautifull wall stickers is the aeroplane wall stickers but there is so many cool designs that makes kids happy.

The importance of adventure books for children

Give your children the gift of reading by select books that match both their abilities and interests. Jump-start your kids’ imaginations through reading. You’ll change their lives!

Its also important to choose the right book’s age range:
1- Books for little ones up to 2 years old
2- Early readers perfect for 3–5 year olds
3- For reading together or alone, the books 6–9 year olds will love
4- Stories to keep up with 10–12 year olds
5- Great reads for ages 12 and up

Finding great books for children makes them lifelong readers.

When you give your children books they love, you give them a gift that lasts forever. But finding books that appeal to kids when there’s so much else competing for their time has become really tough. Our recommended lists by theme and topic will help you find books for children of all ages and interests, from All Things Harry Potter to the best books to share with dads.

Struggling young readers get motivated to read when an adult starts a book with them. That is, read with them or buy audio cd’s that go with the book. Sometimes cd’s have good background sounds and it makes kids feel like they are listening to a movie. If you buy the cd’s, sit with them and buy a book for yourself. Kids like this, otherwise they feel it is a chore instead of a bonding and entertaining time. When you think there is a part in the story that would be a good topic for discussion, stop and do it. Also buy a book that kids aren’t going to struggle with reading. This can be a turn off.

And here is some good kids adventure books:

1- Alvin Ho: Allergic to Camping, Hiking, and Other Natural Disasters. Written By Lenore Look; illustrations by LeUyen Pham

2- Nim’s Island. Written by Wendy Orr, Illustrated by Kerry Millard

3- Sheep Blast Off! [Hardcover] Written by Nancy E. Shaw, Illustrated by Margot Apple.

4- Jumanji [Hardcover] Written by Chris Van Allsburg.

Cinco de Mayo

Mexican holiday commemorating the Mexican victory over the French at Puebla in 1862. The French army, better-equipped and far larger than the Mexican army, had been sent by Napoleon III to conquer Mexico. The Mexicans, under Gen. Ignacio Zaragoza, defeated the French at Puebla, inflicting serious losses.

The French withdrew to the coast but returned the next year to take Puebla; they would control most of Mexico for the next four years. Cinco de Mayo celebrations often include music, dancing, and parades.

Cinco de Mayo or the Fifth of May is a national holiday in Mexico commemorating the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, in which Mexican troops under General Ignacio Zaragoza defeated the invading French forces of Napoleon III.

Although the battle itself represented only a temporary setback for the French, the Mexicans’ victory against overwhelming odds gave them the confidence they needed to persevere until finally triumphing on April 2, 1867

Lesson Plan – Subtopic: Cinco de Mayo

Today, Cinco de Mayo is celebrated by native Mexican (and American) people everywhere. In several towns in Mexico, on the fifth of May, along with many speeches and parades, the Battle of Puebla is elaborately re-enacted in a whole day dramatization. In America, Cinco de Mayo is taken as an opportunity to celebrate Hispanic culture in general, and is celebrated with huge fairs, which include Mexican singing, dancing, feasting, costumes, sports activities, fireworks, and entertainment.

Mariachi bands play while dancers perform native Mexican dances such as the Mexican Hat Dance and the Raspa. Speeches and parades encompass a large part of the celebration too. These events are one way in which people celebrate the friendship of the United States and Mexico. This observance of the Cinco de Mayo victory is a special symbol for all Mexican people who celebrate their rights of freedom and liberty, honoring those who fought, against the odds, for these principles

Cinco de Mayo Activities – Mexico Games, coloring pages, crafts for kids, word searches:-

Get out interactive crayon and color these symbols of Mexico or pictures associated with cinco de mayo: The Battle of Puebla, Breaking the Pinata, a Chile Pepper, Cinco de mayo letters, a Mariachi, Mi Amigo, a Pinata, Shooting Celebrations, a Sombrero, and Tacos. Also included are coloring pages of a map of Mexico, as well as the flag of Mexico for a multicultural study. Color pages are printable and suitable for framing

credit card is part of life,there are so many different types of credit cards available, Parents can see how their kids are spending the money and hopefully have discussions with them and the way their children need to learn smart ways to manage it A credit card is a form of borrowing provided by a bank or building societ it can be used the following ways: Purchasing items Cash Withdrawals Balance Transfers A credit card can be used to consolidate debt by transferring a balance or balances from another card provider(s). The balance on the credit card could be considered a form of short term loan.

How does a Credit Card work?

In return for the above, a credit card provider will apply interest rate charges against the amount you spend, transfer or withdraw. Interest is charged on a monthly basis, with the rates being displayed under Typical APR. These strategies will ensure your kids get the right start, and dont wind up with bad habits.

Steps to take:-

Experts say parents should take several gradual financial steps before giving a kid a credit card First, see to it that the child has a checking account. “Children first need to learn the basic skills of writing a check and tracking money,” says Rich. After they have shown they can balance a checkbook, let them use a debit card, which looks and acts like a credit card but is tied to the checking account. When they have mastered those basics, apply for an extra credit card under your own account at a retail store or bank. Tell them how the card works starting with the connection between charging one month and paying the next. Emphasize that it’s not free money unless the balance is paid in full before the grace period expires.

Explain interest and how it compounds if a debt piles up. Look at the fine print and review other key terms such as late fees. Stress the importance of keeping the card safe, and what to do if it’s stolen or lost. Set limits and monitor the child’s usage. “See what happens when you tell them they can spend $100 on a wardrobe,” says Rich. “Build up their level of responsibility.” When you feel they are ready for a card in their name, encourage them to shop around for low rates and fees.

Emphasize the importance of a good credit history and how a bad one can thwart their efforts to buy their first car or apartment. Show them how to get a copy of their credit report.

Give the child responsibility for paying all or part of their balance from an allowance or job. “If the child isn’t earning the money, a lot of the reality is lost,” says consumer advocate Weinberg. “I don’t think most people appreciate the value of money until they are sitting at a desk pulling in a paycheck.”

there are Three types of credit cards exist:-

bank cards (which are general credit cards—MasterCard, VISA, Discover), general credit cards issued by companies (American Express, Carte Blanche, Diners Club) and proprietary cards (used by stores for use only at such stores—Staples, The Limited, or Sears, or gas companies such as Texaco and Exxon).

Two types of bank credit cards exist: -

unsecured and secured:Unsecured cards are issued on the basis of a person’s good credit. Secured cards require the holder to deposit a set amount, such as $300, with the bank issuing the card. The holder then receives a credit line equal to the amount on deposit. Using a secured credit line is costly because the holder may earn little or no interest on the deposit. However, it’s a good way to build up a good credit history.

Once such history is in place, a person can get an unsecured credit card.

The most popular types available are :-

0% Balance Transfer Credit Cards These credit cards are designed for moving outstanding balances from one credit card provider to another – offering a 0% introductory balance transfer rate for a fixed period. Some providers charge a balance transfer handling fee for using this facility, between 2% to 4% of the balance transferred.

The 0% introductory period varies from card to card, but is usually around 12 months. These cards are suitable when your credit card 0% introductory balance transfer period is ending soon or if your card provider is charging you a high interest rate on your current outstanding balance. 0% Purchase Credit Cards These credit cards are designed for spending and offer a 0% introductory purchases rate for a fixed period.

The 0% introductory period varies from card to card, but can ranged from 3 to 13 months. These cards are suitable when your credit card 0% introductory purchases period is ending soon or if your card provider is charging you a high interest rate on your purchases. Your child also can use his credit card to get cash.

He can use the credit card like an ATM (automated teller machine) card and can receive cash if he has arranged with the credit card company to get a PIN (personal identification number) number.

Of course, the amount of cash he can withdraw cannot exceed his credit limit. Often there’s a cost to ATM withdrawals as well: the transaction fee (a percentage of the withdrawal, such as 2 percent or 3 percent), plus interest to repay the withdrawal (and this interest rate may be higher than the usual credit card rate).

Rebate cards are credit cards that entitle the holder to certain paybacks if he spends certain amounts(www.cardlearn.com/rebate.html). For example, Discover card gives a cash rebate of 1 percent of annual purchases. Other cards may give frequent flyer miles, long-distance calling time, or other benefits, although there may be a higher annual fee for these cards A balance transfer is when you move an outstanding balance from one credit card provider to another. This usually incurs a charge called a ‘balance transfer rate’. The provider may also charge interest on the balance transfer, although numerous credit card providers offer 0% interest on introductory balance transfers for a fixed period – usually 12 months.

Cash Back Credit Cards

These credit cards allows cardholders to earn cash back on their purchases. The more the card is used for purchases, the more cash rewards are applied to the card. The cash back rates available are dependent on the issuer of the card – they vary between 1% to 5%.

Repaying Credit Card Borrowing When your child charges a sweater on a credit card, it’s a form of borrowing that must be repaid. Each billing cycle, which is typically every 28 or 30 days, she’ll receive a bill. She should check it carefully against receipts she has saved from her purchases because mistakes can be made—for example, she may be charged for something she didn’t buy.

How much does a Credit Card cost?

All banks and building societies which lend money are required by law to display the cost of borrowing. This appears as ‘APR’, which stands for Annual Percentage Rate and is the interest rate that the credit card provider charges for purchases, balance transfers, cash advances, annual fees and other charges. The lower the APR, the cheaper it is to borrow/spend. Current rates vary from 6.9% Typical APR to 39.9% Typical APR.

Credit Cards are a great concept but they end up bringing financial ruin to many people because they do not use them properly. Too many people get a credit card and then find that it is maxed out within twelve months. Then for the rest of its existence they end up paying off interest and barely making a dent in the principal. This is not a good way to manage your money.

Let’s go over some of the benefits credit cards offer before we get into their detriments. A credit card can be a great convenience and provides the safety of not dealing with cash, which is more easily lost. Credit cards are also very useful in the sense that they offer protection under the Consumer Credit Act and you can often get your money back in a fraudulent purchase that you would be unable to do with any other payment method. Credit cards also offer “incentive” benefits such as air miles or credit toward future purchases. Credit cards also give back a percentage of your purchases to approved charities in some cases which is a really nice way to give back at the same time you are spending the money you normally would spend.

Therefore there are most certainly benefits for using a credit card. Given all of the above, credit cards still cause problems for most people more often than they provide benefits. Most of these problems come in the form of excess consumer debt, which arises when one carries a balance on the credit card while paying the absolute minimum each month.

These problems occur when one begins looking at the credit line of your credit card as simply bonus money that you now have to spend. Instead you need to allocate existing funds for every purchase you make on a credit card. This way you know that you will be paying off that principal balance at the first of next month rather than carrying for your foreseeable future. Another problem that happens with credit cards is that people simply get too many of them.

With the credit environment as it is today most people are barraged with new credit card offers practically every day of the week. And some people accept each one of those offers and end up with more credit cards than they know what to do with. With increased numbers comes increased temptation. When you have a multitude of credit cards it becomes much easier to talk yourself into carrying a balance on one of them. This is not a good idea, as discussed earlier. You also need to be wary of signing up for credit cards. While, most are legal, some companies are really towing the line between ‘legal’ and ‘not legal’. Watch out for companies who charge a “membership fee” or have a substantial charge for late fees. So what is the correct way of approaching and dealing with credit cards?

Rule #1 – Never use credit cards as extra money. Always allocate money from your current funds or monthly income in order to pay whatever you finance off immediately.

Rule #2 – Read the fine print. Too many people simply accept the offers sent to them in the mail without reading the details of the interest rate and credit terms. While it may seem insignificant on first look over time it can create a negative financial situation for you very easily. Read the print and make sure you get the best terms available

HOW TO PREVENT CREDIT CARD FRAUD :-

Credit card frauds are very common these days. You need to be highly alert to such possibilities. It’s best that you follow some basic rules to prevent credit card fraud. Here is some tips and advice:-

PREVENTING CREDIT CARD FRAUD :

Sign your Card Sign your credit card as soon as you receive it. Whenever you use plastic money, keep your eyes on it. Don’t allow your credit card out of your vision, if it is possible. Be sure that you are giving your card to the right person.

You must verify his or her identity prior to handing over your card. Be Careful Giving your Account Number You may receive a phone call enquiring about your account number. You should never give your account number unless you have initiated the call after verifying the credibility of the caller.

You should never reply to emails that ask you for your credit card details. At times it so happens that the mailer asks you to visit a certain website to verify your personal information related to your credit card.

You must not trust them. You need to check the credibility of a website before you pass on any information. Don’t put your PIN on your Card Never write your PIN on your credit card. You must shield your confidential details so as to prevent its accessibility to anybody. You need to tear up all credit card correspondence you receive, in case you think they are useless.

You must keep every detail of your bank account in a safe place. Don’t Carry Cards that are Not Needed You need to carry only those credit cards which you use frequently. You are not required to carry all your credit cards every time you are out shopping. Check your credit card bills promptly.

If you find anything wrong, then enquire about it or inform your credit card executive. Destroy your incorrect Receipts Destroy your incorrect receipts. You should never sign a blank receipt after using a credit card. If you use a carbon paper, destroy it immediately after use. It is always preferable to carry your credit cards in some small pouch. Don’t let others use your Card You must not lend your credit card to anyone. Whenever you move to somewhere else, you are required to notify your credit card issuers about it in advance. It is possible that even after taking precautions, your card gets lost or stolen. In either case, you need to contact the issuer immediately. Most of the organizations have round the clock service to deal with these sorts of emergencies. The technology of plastic money has many advantages. But there are a few loopholes too. Whenever you use a credit card, you must keep these points in mind, otherwise you might risk being a victim of credit card fraud.

Carbohydrates are the body’s most important and readily available source of energy. Even though they’ve gotten a bad rap in the 2000s and have often been blamed for the obesity epidemic in America, carbs are a necessary part of a healthy diet for both kids and adults.

Your body gets energy from three different things in the foods you eat. These are carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Each has a different job in the body, and you need all three to be healthy.

The main way your body gets the energy you need to run around and play and do your chores is by burning carbohydrates. There are two types of carbohydrates, simple and complex. Your body turns both kinds of carbohydrates into sugar. Sugar gives you energy. But you don’t want too much energy too fast, which is why eating sugary foods like cake and candy is not the best way to get carbohydrates. The sugar from carbohydrates goes into your bloodstream. Then your body makes something called insulin, which moves the sugar into all of your cells. Your cells use the sugar for energy. If you eat too many high sugar foods, you will get too much sugar in your blood too fast. This can make you sick. Also, if your food is turned into sugar very quickly, you will be hungry again soon.

Good sources of carbohydrates include:

* whole-grain cereals
* brown rice
* whole-grain breads
* fruits
* vegetables
* low-fat dairy

A healthy balanced diet for children over 2 years should include 50% to 60% of the calories consumed coming from carbohydrates. The key is to make sure that the majority of carbs kids eat are from good sources and to limit the amount of added sugar in their diet.
