item of the Week-Groovie Blocks

These aren’t your average wooden blocks! Aside from being super groovy, they are also exceptionally educational. Designed using the latest educational theories for teaching basic math concepts, the Groovy Blocks help children learn sorting, ordering, opposites, and pattern building.

The set contains 28 grooved wooden blocks (1 1/2" cubed) with embossed numerals and math symbols, plus geometric shape sets that correspond to the number on the opposite side.

The grooved sides allow the blocks to be stacked more securely and allow interesting patterns when sequenced. The printed sides create endless design possibilities while the embossed images make each block a flashcard-like learning tool.

Made from basswood with brightly-colored, child-safe and non-toxic inks in Michigan. Ages 4+

Item of the Week-Pink Julia Dress

Beautiful and low maintenance! We love the bright colors and super-soft feel of this Picaflor dress, but what really grabs us is that it is entirely machine washable and dryer friendly. Coordinating bloomers guarantee lots of ooo’s and ahh’s!

Picaflor (“hummingbird” in Spanish) uses thoughtful fabrics and small-scale production to create a unique collection of knitwear that is designed for busy little wings. Picaflor’s knits are 100% Rayon, a natural fiber made from recycled wood pulp. Not only is it environmentally friendly, it’s soft and comfortable on the skin. Rayon is hypoallergenic, incredibly absorbent and wicks moisture away, making it great for year round weather.

Adult Ed presents: Ambivalent Parenting 101

ADULT EDUCATION PRESENTS: "AMBIVALENT PARENTING 101"

Tuesday, May 5, 2009 - 8 pm (doors at 7:30)

Union Hall in Park Slope

702 Union St. @ 5th Ave

$5 cover

Adult Education is a Brooklyn-based useless lecture series. Each month is

devoted to a given theme, and 4 or 5 speakers address some aspect

of that theme using visual aids. This month we present a primer on Ambivalent Parenting.

GREG ALLEN, "TV, Education, & Kids: Three Of These Things Belong Together?"

Forty years ago, researchers created Sesame Street to tap the vast educational power of television for the benefit of "ghetto kids." How's that working out? A brief, illustrated history.

GARY DREVITCH, "Widespread Abuse of the 'Put the Oxygen Mask on Yourself First' Metaphor Among Contemporary American Parents"

Drevitch discusses how a small but critical piece of the standard airplane-safety lecture has been expanded upon and embraced as the foundation of a popular parenting philosophy. But will Mommy really be a better Mommy after she has her daily glass of merlot?

ILANA GLAZER: "Upper-Class Upbringing as Seen Through the Lens of a Middle-Class Jew"

This presentation will explore the upper-class attempted anti-snob movement in Manhattan compared to the culture vacuum that is growing up in the suburbs of Long Island. We will also discover the inadequacies of trusting a college student with your children.

ANDREW HANELLY AND MIKE MCCARTHY: "The Guilt-Free Guide to Parenting"

Raising a child can be a stress on one's social life, physical fitness and emotional well-being. But, the speakers argue, parenting, done right, can be a blissful experience and allow you to focus on the truly important aspects of life, such as yourself.

DANIEL WRIGHT: "Mothers of Invention: A Brief Guide to Child-Rearing Devices"

A survey of American patent literature reveals parents' desire not to be parents.

With your host, CHARLES STAR

I get so excited when I come across great design that serves dual functions, like this fantastic skirt/ dress from Imoga

The Bubble skirt has an elasticized waistband and blue tie which then becomes the halter tie for the dress as you draw the skirt up over the chest.....now that is genius!

The contrast blue flower motif that is embroidered down the front gives this great piece even more - wow factor.
