Huffy the Clown
Reviewed June 18, 2000 by Gus Murphree, a parent from Birmingham,Alabama who is not affiliated with the site. I came across this site while looking for fire safety clowns. This is one of the best sites I have seen for fire safety and I was very surprised that it was not included in your Web site. I am also a fire safety clown but at this time I do not have a Web site.

How to Fold a Flying Paper Water Bomb
"The kid in me loved this one: an origami kamikaze water flyer. You’ll need a Java-capable browser to view the animated step-by-step instructions. When finished, the plane can be filled with a small amount of water or chad. Just don’t throw it in the house! (Guess the kid in me just grew up.)"

How Lou Got the Flu
"I’m Louise – most people call me Lou – and I live in Kansas. I feel pretty rotten now. I have a sore throat, a cough, and achy muscles.

Healthy Teeth
"How long do you take to brush your teeth? Most people think they brush for at least a minute or two, but in reality they brush for thirty seconds or less. Time yourself and see how you do.An effective brushing takes two to three minutes. This informative site from the Nova Scotia Dental Association covers Healthy Teeth in four chapters: Teeth and Gums, Prevention, Cavities and Braces. Yes, there are a few animated toothbrushes (and even a dancing tooth), but don’t let that stop you from visiting."
