Parenting Pre Google

Honestly, how did people do it? Danielle sees a pinwheel on TV and wants to make one. So I google “make a pinwheel” and the first hit has instructions and a page you can print with all the lines showing where to cut. Ten minutes later we have two pinwheels (one for Victoria – sharing is tricky at 2).

I remember as a kid having a huge set of encyclopedias. We would look things up, but it was useful if you wanted to know about Albania, not important stuff like making a pinwheel…

    no kidding…we use google to find things from origami instructions to on-line maned wolf coloring pages that bella can paint online and then print. i dont think i even knew what a maned wolf was until a few weeks ago.

    Great for doing homework too! No wonder it took us HOURS to complete homework when we were going to elementary, Jr. High, and High school.
