Children play and draw with crayons practically every day, so why not make the experience more educational? While children are coloring, they are also exposed to the names of chemicals that will make those colors! So instead of thinking I want green they will think I want Barium Nitrate Ba(NO3)2 Flame and then when they take chemistry in high school and their teacher sets some gas on fire and it makes a green color and they ask the class what chemical it was your student will know it was Barium! Genius! — via Etsy

This awesome beanbag chair in the shape of a Snorlax (from the world of Pokémon) was made by DeviantART member SmellenJR for a Christmas gift.

This took I think… over 100 dollars in supplies to make. I ended up with a little extra cream colored fabric and muslin. Thankfully muslin is super cheap.

Most of the work was done the last minute to be in time for Christmas. The box we put it in was perfect because when she lifted the top box off, it’s arms flopped out as if to say: HUG ME!

If I saw someone coming down the street wearing this Cthulhu-inspired ski hat, I’d either think they were nuts, or they were really nuts.

It was knit by CraftyPA, and she’s also made one in red, in case the traditional green Cthulhu isn’t for you. For some reason, the red version looks more like Dr Zoidberg than Cthulhu to me, though. I always wanted to go as Zoidberg for Halloween, so maybe I’ll get that one for my costume for next year. I’ll just need some lobster claws to go with it — via Technabob
