The team behind educational toy Click-A-Brick say they think a non-toy list for what to give kids to help them have a fulfilling childhood is great and encourages parents to think about ways they can keep their kids engaged without necessarily giving them toys.

Las Vegas, United States – September 20, 2015 /MarketersMedia/ —

The team at educational toy company Click-A-Brick says a new list of non-toy items that every child should have, written by blogger Katherine Martinko and appearing on the Treehugger.com site, is a refreshing departure from the usual must-have toy lists that usually start popping up around this time of year.

Martinko draws from her own childhood memories and says to give a child a fulfilling childhood with, parents should give them items that will get them imagining and playing even when they’re away from their toy box.

A map of the world or maps in general will prompt a child to imagine what life is like in far off places and may give them an early interest in geography, Martinko writes. Pianos or other instruments will draw children in and if they have any musical aptitude, will give them an early start with music. A bicycle will not only provide exercise for kids, but let them get their first taste of freedom. Martinko also suggests providing them with a bookshelf filled with books that will engage their imagination and, lastly, the blogger suggests letting children have access to construction odds and ends like scraps of plywood, corrugated steel, two-by-fours, nails, and leftover cinder blocks that they can use to build forts and other structures without having to follow instructions like they would in a pre-packaged fort kit.

The Click-A-Brick team says while some of Martinko’s ideas obviously require a lot of space and may not work as well for children growing up in a city environment, they nevertheless get parents to at least think about other ways besides toys that they can engage their kids.

“It may sound odd coming from a toy company, but we really like Katherine’s ideas for giving kids things that will engage them and teach them that aren’t actually toys,” Click-A-Brick Co-Founder Jason Smith said. “There is a lot of focus on educational toys nowadays, but children learn in a variety of different ways that don’t necessarily have to do with toys.

“Katherine was fortunate enough to grow up in a wooded area and with a father who was a builder, so she could easily have access to building scraps and to open spaces to ride a bike. Obviously, not all parents are going to be able to give their kids these types of things because they maybe live in a city or don’t have access to building scraps — and some overprotective parents may even be horrified at the thought of letting their kids play with building scraps — but what we really like about Katherine’s suggestions is that they demonstrate that you don’t need to automatically think of toys to stimulate kids and teach them. Even something as simple as a map can get them excited about learning.”

Blackbird Publishers

Creative Artist’s Notebook, A Stress Relief Coloring Book for Adults and other Big People from Blackbird Publishers reflected on its release of their new coloring book for adults Introduced in April. This stress relieving coloring book was in development over the past few years, applying the theory of coloring as a relaxation technique promoted by Carl G. Jüng early in the last century. The main aim was always to Relieve stress by using an activity that most adults find relaxing but by its nature employs significant thought processes that also promotes relaxation. Thus by defying convention, this Stress Relief Coloring Book does so, with a difference.

Developed by Ginger Bell with James Maloney providing the photography and the preparation of the images, The artists/writers at Blackbird Publishers, say “We wanted to try something new with Creative Artist’s Adventure Notebook. Anyone familiar with the self directed artistic intervention of stress market will probably have noticed how everyone else always seemed to use only large blocks of color similar to what is made for children. We felt this was a problem because That does not engage as many parts of the brain.”

So as a welcome breath of fresh air, Creative Artist’s Adventure Notebook: For Adults and Other Big People uses complexity of the project to require the use of areas of the brain to become involved in vision and fine motor skills [coordination necessary to make small, precise movements]. The artists chose to make this move because they believe the complexity of the coloring page assists the user in achieving a better level of relaxation..

Developed by Ginger Bell also said “We want to give our customers Complete relief of anxiety without a need for prescribed medication. With Creative Artist’s Adventure Notebook: For Adults and Other Big People, offers a fresh new possibility. We want users to feel comfortable using coloring pages of this type. We believe using Creative Artist’s Adventure Notebook will mean trying something new and could always be a risk, but it’s a risk we believe is worth taking.”

Another unique undertaking of the project is the source of all images within the coloring book. These images are all true to life authentic photographs, many from the work of the artist, and none are original line drawings as are common with most other coloring book images. The full color photographic images are “scrubbed” through proprietary software to remove color values while retaining many of the lines needed to define shapes, form, and textures.

“Constitution Translated for Kids” makes it easy for people puzzled by the language of the U.S. Constitution to understand what it all means. The award winning book is written by a former Congressional speechwriter, and political independent.

Washington, DC, United States – September 19, 2015 /PressCable/ —

Recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions, resolving giant political and constitutional issues, have churned up a wave of Americans (who disagreed with those decisions) and who now maintain that the Supreme Court went beyond their authority and/or were simply behaving unconstitutionally.

This is one of those national moments that beg for a simple explanation of everything in the Constitution, something that lays out easily the ideas and processes in the Constitution.

“Constitution Translated for Kids” by Cathy Travis, the award winning children’s book (in publication since 2006 and used in hundreds of school districts across the United States) offers a unique feature: a side-by-side rendition of every word in the Constitution alongside a simple, non-ideological, 5th grade translation of the legalistic language in the U.S. founding document.

“Other books that try to explain the U.S. Constitution to kids, or even adults, pick and choose what to talk about – and usually it’s weighted one way or another,” said author Cathy Travis. “That leaves kids with only a little knowledge of the Constitution, and they feel used later. They are certainly less informed citizens.”

“These days, we’re all feeling a little used, particularly about the sources of our information,” said Travis, a 25-year veteran writer in the U.S. Congress. “That’s why I wanted to use the Constitution itself as the source for this book. On one side of the page is what the Constitution says, and on the other side is my 5th grade version of what it says. Readers benefit by looking at both and seeing for themselves what it says.”

“Think of the country as a ball game and the Supreme Court as the referees,” Travis said. “If teams disagreed with the referees and did things their own way, the game would be havoc. The notion of not recognizing the rule of law is breaking out amidst confused voters on the eve of another national election.”

“Constitution Translated for Kids” is the winner of the 2011 Gelett Burgess Children’s Book Award for Education (Government and Politics), the “Mom’s Choice Award” (Juvenile non-fiction, 2010) and a “Best Books Award” (2009) – and offers a free teacher’s guide.

Controversial decisions from the Supreme Court in 2015 included:

* The court ruled that voters had the power to strip elected lawmakers of their authority to draw district lines. (Arizona State Legislature v. Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission)

* The court decided that Texas could reject specialty license plates bearing the Confederate battle flag. (Texas v. Sons of Confederate Veterans)

* The court (again) established a separation of powers in foreign policy. (Zivotofsky v. Kerry)

* In two Alabama cases, the court found that the State Legislature had relied too heavily on race in its 2012 state redistricting, by maintaining high concentrations of black voters in some districts.

* The court struck down the last major case attempting to kill Obamacare. (King v. Burwell)

* The court decided that the Constitution guarantees a right to same-sex marriage. (Obergefell v. Hodges)
