Disney Family Online

Like many other households in America with young children living in them, our house is a Disney house. If the kids are awake and the TV’s are on, they’re usually tuned to The Disney Channel. We have a stack of Disney DVD’s that we regularly enjoy over and over.

With the summer approaching and school out of session, it will be time to keep the kids entertained and busy with their days ahead. In addition you can find resources for meals, coupons for saving money and a few resources for making a trip sometime over the summer break.

Disney Family was created to help parents with the most important job of their lives: raising their family in the best environment possible. We are committed to creating a nurturing, safe, and well-informed environment for guests and members to expand their parenting knowledge in a fun, entertaining way — just what you’d expect from one of the most trusted names in family entertainment.

The Disney Family.com website provides all of this information for you. It’s also part of a network of sites that provide more detail and content on specific topics that may interest you and your family.

Falling Sand Art

First there was the Falling Sand Game, now you’ve got falling sand art with the ThisIsSand.com website.

Just visit the site, click your mouse and start sprinkling sand across the page. As you can see from my quick image above, you can create various piles and even change the color of your sand to create some pretty cool effects.

My kids love this kind of stuff and it’s also the type of thing that could end up sucking away far too much of the work day if you’re not careful.

Let’s see what you can create!
