With topics ranging from biology and forensics to physics and geology, Edheads is a great tool to put the fun back into science class. Engaging graphics and storylines flow through the activities, keeping kids interested.
Modern Playhouses by Play Modern The concept for Play Modern Cuba and 2Cuba playhouses prove the that the best concepts grow from what you know. Like many kids, architect Kimball Hales’ three children enjoyed nothing more than playing “house” inside a cardboard refrigerator box. Harnessing his insights into the psyches of the young, his interest in small spaces and prefab kits, and his experience designing modern, sustainable buildings as an architect at Hufft Projects, Hales and his wife decided to developed a modern playhouse. Knowing that the novelty of new toys wears off fairly quickly, they aimed for a model one could re-invent, so when the kids inevitably got tired of the playhouse, it wouldn’t take long to reconfigure and make new again. The playhouses, which are manufactured locally in Kansas City, aren’t just modern and modular, but eco-friendly.
