Happy Friday! What’s inside a pocket camera? 🤔📷 Cairo-based product designer @dina.a.amin asked this question in 2016 as a part of her weekly #TinkerFriday #stopmotion project. (Link in bio.) Since then, she’s been creating wonderfully cute and quirky shorts for clients and for fun. ⚙️🔧🤖 I love her new “Guess How Many Parts Are Inside” gadget series. Find her #videos at @dina.a.amin and on TKSST.com.

On a recent @thelabreatarpits visit, we spent time

On a recent @thelabreatarpits visit, we spent time watching volunteers and scientists as they cleaned and conserved #fossils in the #pagemuseum’s wonderfully windowed paleontological lab. ⛏🦴✨🔬 Don’t miss that large specimen in the 3rd photo!
.
Link in bio for more: “These remains of plants and animals from the past 50,000 years show us how wildlife changes as climate changes. #Paleontologists are now working on specimens from Project 23, the treasure trove of fossils that was discovered during the construction of a @LACMA parking lot in 2006.”

There are timeless #books that you never outgrow.

There are timeless #books that you never outgrow. Example: Where The Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak, one of our favorites. It came in at number 4 on The 10 Most Checked-Out Books in @nypl History list. 📚💙 Link in bio to see the entire list, which includes another one of our all time faves: Ezra Jack Keats’ The Snowy Day at number 1. ❄️📕

In appreciation of morning dew. 💦 These drops,

In appreciation of morning dew. 💦 These drops, found on a recent walk, remind me of the Namib Desert Beetle (Stenocara gracilipes, 3rd image). It harvests water from the early morning fog in southern Africa’s arid Namib Desert, an inspiration for fog-catching nets, self-filling water bottles, and more #biomimicry solutions. 💧 Video link in bio.

We owe so much to Little #Bees, and with this #son

We owe so much to Little #Bees, and with this #song by #BettyAndTheTurnips, we get to sing about it. This #stopmotion #musicvideo for children (link in bio to watch the entire vid) recognizes the vital role that #honeybees play in #agriculture and our #ecosystems.
🐝🍓✂️
Betty and the Turnips is a #childrensmusic project by songwriter, blacksmith, and environmentalist @bet.smith 🌳🍎🐝
The full video is also on TKSST.com. Plus, find more of Bet’s #musicforkids at BetSmithMusic.com/turnips

Why are some people mean? What’s fair? Why do I

Why are some people mean? What’s fair? Why do I keep procrastinating? How do I know what I really want? Big Ideas for Curious Minds: An Introduction to #Philosophy (link in bio), a #childrensbook for ages 8-12 from #TheSchoolofLife, dives into these questions and more with eye-opening “philosophical concepts from 25 famous thinkers, contextualized in relatable everyday scenarios.” It’s useful, thoughtful, and peppered with illustrations and prompts that keep things accessible for all ages.
📚
We’ve started reading one big idea at bedtime each evening, and in discussing it afterward, we’ve shared a few extra memories, points of view, and reflections with our kids that we wouldn’t have otherwise. And we’re hearing from them, too. A helpful prompt for introspection and conversation. I’m really glad that we picked this one up.
📚

The number one seller in the TKSSTGiftGuide.com? ✨Blank. Flip. Books.✨ (Link in bio.) 100 sheets of thick, durable craft #paper cut to just the right size, all bound and ready to animate. For #kids and adults who love to #draw, create tiny stories, or are super tired of stapling hunks of paper together to make their own. We love these.

Baby #koala Elsa is featured in an @australianrept

Baby #koala Elsa is featured in an @australianreptilepark #video on TKSST.com this week (link in bio for her story). 🐨🍼 She was just 7 months old in October and continues to thrive in their care. Thankfully, Elsa has not been in danger from the bushfires. 🌱
The plight of Australia’s ecosystems and communities has been on our minds, and no doubt influenced how many cute animal videos were added to TKSST.com this week. If you’d like to help, head over to @australianreptilepark’s account.

To name just a few, @redcrossau @nswrfs @wildlifevictoria @wireswildliferescue @wwf_australia and @portmacquariekoalahospital are also taking donations. Please feel free to mention any other organizations in the comments. .

“You know, there are 200 million insects for eve

“You know, there are 200 million insects for every person on the planet. 200 million. I learned that from the #Science one.” - My 9 year old. 🐜🦋🦗 I’ve learned a lot from this ‘100 Things to Know About’ series, too. Science, in particular, includes a lot of facts that tie into videos on TKSST.com. Butterflies drinking crocodile tears. 🐊 Pencils and diamonds are made of the same stuff. 💎 Simple machines. ⚙️ Biomimicry! They’re great #books for perusing together.

Pictured above: #Space! The kids want the rest of the series, which includes Food, the Human Body, Numbers, Computers, & Coding, and Planet Earth. 🌍
