Milk Carton Castle: World’s Largest Recycled Sculpture!
Once again, we are going to touch on the subject of being environmentally aware and thinking about what we are doing and how. For example, do you ever think about where all your trash is going once it's down inside that garbage can outside your house? Or, do you even give a second thought to what ...
Have Fun: Draw And Doodle On This Coffee Mug With Chalk
Do you like scribbling? I remember as a kid I would take chalk and write on the sidewalk or take colored chalk and write on the walls. Of course, my mom was not happy about this, and she made me clean up my mess afterwards, but I didn't mind at all since I love to doodle with chalk. I remember wa ...
Piperoid Paper Pipe Robots: Fun with Paper Tubes!
I love paper art. Its a great way to recycle! There are so many things now that we can do with paper as art. For example, we have the famous origami from Japan, and also the pop up paper books that are so much fun to read. It has been a dream for me to make my own pop up book. I wish I had the ...
Total Plug Safety: Keeps Geeks and Children Safe
This little invention makes me giggle because I think it's perfect for geeks and the children of geeks. If you are like me, you know what it's like to be so focused on a project (usually a DIY creation that requires electricity) that you pull out a plug and accidentally touch the metal pins too qui ...
Is This Magic? The Balloon Penetrating Illusion
Do you like magic? Do you like watching illusionists play tricks with your eyes and your mind? My favorite illusion was done right before my eyes during a party. The illusionist got a card and a cigarette (not lighted). He inserted the entire cigarette through the card, but when we checked, ther ...
Hello Kitty Shoes Are Finally Here!
By now you know that we write about Hello Kitty a lot on Bit Rebels. I don't know how it is that the creepy little cat keeps popping up in my articles just like she does in my everyday life.
I have a love/hate relationship with Hello Kitty. If I remember right, my last Hello Kitty article was a ...
Make Designs With Your Own Shadow!
My sisters and I used to have the best time making shadows on our bedroom wall when we were young. We started with the standard alligator and rabbit shadows, and then moved our way up to more creative shadows where we collaborated to create a story and used a flashlight.
Making shadow art is the ...
Free Hand Writing & Coloring Pages From Twisty Noodle
When I was younger, I loved to color. My dad would always buy us coloring books and the 64 piece crayons. I remember having hours and hours of fun, and I guess my dad got hours and hours of peace and quiet during that time too. Even my brother loved coloring when he was a little boy. He would always ...
Star Wars Shoes: Walk Like A True Trooper!
There is no end to the exceptionally cool Star Wars mania that is going on in the world. No wonder Mr. Lucas is on his toes trying to get payment for everything people shovel out and market with his brand. I am sure he has a truck load of cash delivered to his account daily with all these products ...
The Freaky Toy That Will Help Children Deal With Fears
As a child, you can never be sure anyone can keep a secret. Sharing your fears and troubles with someone might seem scary and sometimes just not the right thing to do. It could potentially feel shameful to stick your neck out to get some well needed comforting. Grown-ups have a far more mature wa ...
How To: Surf with Just a Tarp and a Skateboard
It's summer, and it's hot like a mofo outside. All you want is to go to the beach and catch a wave or two. Surfing on the computer is no fun, and unfortunately, the beach is too far away for you to ever make it there and back in the time you have. What will you do then? Well, you don't have many ...
Silly Putty 2.0 Has Arrived – It’s Magnetic & It Thinks
I loved playing with silly putty when I was a little girl. Back then, in the prehistoric ages, my parents actually read an old fashioned newspaper. My sisters and I would have fun imprinting the silly putty with the news.
Well, all that has changed. Introducing... the silly putty of the future ...
Rollout Piano Mp3 Player – The Future Of Portability Is Rad!
I think I've just seen one of the coolest things this week or even this month. Going on writer trips will be changed forever with this little gadget (writer trips are a common endeavor where writers go around the world writing with different song writers). Before, you had to bring a small midi key ...
Space Age Ant Habitat For The Geek In You!
Kids love keeping pets like hamsters, rats, snakes and ants. When I was younger, I wanted my own ant farm, but of course my parents would not let us have one. The reasons were quite valid if you think about it. What if we were to knock it off the table, and the container accidentally shattered? ...
Here’s The First Social Networking Robot!
Once again, the Japanese people are way ahead of us all. Just when we thought we had caught up with the technology and the stream of Internet ideas, they push the envelope to another level. This time, they incorporate one of the most groundbreaking ways to communicate into a robot. Social network ...
