Cool (Inexpensive) Projects to Do With Your Kids

If you are looking for interactive things to do with your kids or other children you may have in the family that don't involve a TV or XBox you might want to check out GeekDad. It's a pretty neat website. I'm all about activities that encourage creativity and cleverly disguise learning as fun.

For the most part these activities can be completed with a few inexpensive items and some reading material for the adult supervision. Here's a small sample of the type of projects available on the site.

• Model trains
• Painting with a 6 point perspective
• Ant farms
• Kite launched skydivers
• Electric model airplanes
• Build your own radio

The site is only a few months old, but they have a few more contributors now so I expect there to be a steadily increasing number of posts.
