Free Kindle E-Book - Learn Japanese Vocabulary - 101 Household Items Flashcards

Amazon currently has Learn Japanese Vocabulary - English/Japanese Flashcards - 101 Household Items - Flash Ebook for free (normally $2.99).

I downloaded it because I sometimes watch Japanese foreign films on Netflix and have to rely on the subtitles. It might be nice to actually  understand a word now and then, but it would great to use as a teaching tool and it is simple enough for grade school age children.

On one page there is a picture of the item and the word in English.  On the next page is the word in Japanese in both how it would be written and how it would be spoken.  You also don't need a Kindle; Amazon  has a free Kindle for PC's program that you can download and read right from your computer.

To download, click  here.

As Amazon is always changing what his free (check before clicking purchase), I recommend hurrying over and grabbing a download while they are still available.

I found this deal on a blog I follow, Keeping Cents and I thought I would share it with you all.

It is a small Mickey Mouse Cookie Cutter, probably about the size of your pinkie wide and just a little bit taller.

While it is intended for cookie purposes, I a seeing craft applications in its future...just not sure what yet, so stay tuned.                                                                 

I just purchased it on the link posted for the link at Amazon.com and picked one up for .72 cents and that includes shipping (although it did indicate shipping could be 2-3 weeks).

MONSTER HIGH - CREATE-A-MONSTER DOLLS

Picture I took at my local Target on 4/30/12

Watch out Barbie, there is a new girl in town. 

Mattel started a line in 2010 of "Monster High" Fashion dolls, based on old horror movies and monsters. They are goth and glam with a lot of attitude.  I find them to be a refreshing alternative from blonde-haired, blue-eyed, big bosommed beach going Barbies that I grew up playing with.

I was excited to see they now also have a "Create-A-Monster", that come with parts so you can create your own doll and is for ages 6 and up.

The above kit, which Target was selling for $19.99, has one torso, but two sets of everything else: upper and lower arms, upper and lower legs, hands, heads, outfits.  You can create a Vampire or Sea Monster themed doll, or combine any way you want and call the creature whatever you would like.

The only downsides that I see are if you have children under 3 some of the smaller parts could be a choking hazard if not kept out of reach and I think they should also have torsos in the kit so you could create two dolls.

They also have these for sale at Amazon.com for around the same price, along with a Skeleton, Bee and 3-Eyed Girl accessory kits to create even more options for between $10-$10.96.


The above was Create-A-Monster was the only one available at my local store; however, when I looked online here they indicate that Werewolf/Dragon, Witch/Cat Girl and Gargoyle/Vampire should also be available in stores.  

What do you think of these dolls?
