Check out this adorable caterpillar lunch idea. It's just one of many from this super-creative book by Mark Northeast called Funky Lunch: Happy Food for Happy Children.

Plus, he has a new book out now called Funky Party: Party Food for Happy Children. And it, as you may have guessed, adorable party food ideas for kids. Including another awesome caterpillar that caught my eye. I think I might just need to have a "Very Hungry Caterpillar" party some day!

They Might Be Giants - Why Does the Sun Shine?

Oh how I love this video. It's crafty, it's science-y, it's educational, it's adorable. It's from the CD/DVD called Here Comes Science by They Might Be Giants.

(P.S. The beautiful crafted elements were done by the talented Hine Mizushima.)
