Kidsday: Disney Electronic Reader

There's a new device for kids to help them learn how to read, Disney Electronic Reader and 8-Book Library. It is a great way to help little kids learn how to become a reader. You just pick a book that comes with the Me Reader, press the picture on the page, and it reads the book to you. It comes with eight great Disney tales. My younger brother and I enjoyed using the Me Reader together.

RATING: 5 out of 5

Bedazzling with bling

I created a bling shirt because I am a girl and I love bling. My shirt was so much fun to make. I used ribbon, glitter, spray paint, sequins and sparkle gems on a plain, inexpensive shirt. I cut slits in my shirt to add more style to it. Also, I added a belt to make it look stylish. The glitter flowers really hit the spot to make my shirt look super cool. The only tool I needed was a hot-glue gun, and my mom helped me with that. I love my bedazzled shirt. It has so much pizzazz! Jazz up any plain shirt in minutes and have fun doing it.

I also enjoy making string bracelets. I make them with my good friend. We have made more than 100 bracelets together. They are made out of 100 percent cotton craft string. They come in many different colors. My favorite is tie-dyed. We have sold many bracelets at our summer yard sale. Girls of all ages will enjoy making string bracelets.
