The Boys Have It

I love how inspiring the Internet can be. Check out this brilliant use of boy-style tinkering and play that was shown to me by the esteemed Melissa Wiley, one of the home-schooling mothers who most impresses me and fills me with hope about my own teaching future.This sort of thing makes me happy to have small boys with active minds and makes me think happily of the real life application for such fabulous books as How Tom Beat Captain Njork And His Hired Sportsmen, proving yet again that fooling around, tinkery play and the sort of silly fiddling stuff boys do to amuse themselves are not for naught.
