Dear Parents,

Happy Presidents' Day! If your child is home from school today, keep him busy with our Presidents' Day printables and quizzes. After tackling those, he can choose from a range of our challenging science printables. These activities are fun, creative, and educational, and they're great science skill-builders.

Are you planning a family vacation? This issue offers some suggestions to help you make it the best one yet! Be sure to involve the kids in making plans, and prepare for the road with some printable travel games.

February can be hard on our feathered friends, which is why it's been designated National Bird Feeding Month. We suggest some simple bird feeders and birdhouses you can build with your child, and provide some bird watching tips. Your child may also enjoy our bird-related printables.

There's no excuse for boredom when science printables are close at hand.

Birds are everywhere, and it doesn't take much to get these fascinating creatures to come up close!

Research, discussion, and preparation are all part of planning great family vacations.
