Minecraft goes analog



Minecraft is one of today's most popular video games for young kids and tweens. It is also one of the most addictive. You can go anywhere in the game and do anything you want—and that makes it difficult for children to stop playing.

Thanks to Ravensburger for this Minecraft-based board game. It's the perfect excuse to down screens, spend quality time together as a family, and allow kids to touch and interact with something tangible. It's a great way to stimulate their brains too. Designed in collaboration with Mojang, the $39.99 game is geared for two to four players and takes 30-60 minutes to play. Well, that beats the average daily time my 6-year-old daughter spends in the Overworld.

Product Description:

"Minecraft: Builders & Biomes comes with high-quality game pieces including 64 resource cubes, 64 building and Monster cards, 36 weapon tokens, 4 player boards, 4 experience counters, 4 character skins, 4 game piece Bases, 12 overview cards, 1 resource cube base, 1 support structure, and instructions."

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

It’s now been fifty-eight years since Walt Disney died of lung cancer, and as a great way to remember his legacy is watch this short film he did in 1929. It’s truly impressive, and you can still see the impact he made on animation today.
