Hola Hola Jumpiteerz! Do you remember our song The world in Books? It’s one of our favorites because it’s our attempt to speak of the importance of learning new things about the world around and that is something that we want to instill to kids. We found a great resource of free audiobooks for children where you can find some of the all time favorites such as Pinocchio, Tom Sawyer, Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Alice in Wonderland and Polyanna just to name a few.

So Jumpiteerz let us know what you think, alright?

Hola hola Jumpiteerz! Meet Quasi the Robot. A fast speaking witty robot built by students at Carnegie Mellon University’s Entertainment Technology Center in Pittsburgh. Quasi can talk and create human-like expressions and body movements, with some human help.

Hi mom or dad, we know that as a parent you probably get asked a LOT of questions by your young and curious child about the world and everyday things such as ‘Why do we blink?’ that probably leaves you scratching your head. The web is a vast repository of information where you can find out things about pretty much anything and so we found a really cool article about Answers to Common Questions Parents Can’t Answer Their Kids that you’ll get a kick out of!

If your kid wants to know why we blink, here’s the answer:

The very front of your eye is made of an extremely sensitive see-through screen rather like the windscreen on your parents’ car.

It’s very important that it stays clean and moist so that you can see as well as possible.

So every ten or 20 seconds, your eyelids close, spreading a thin layer of tears over your eye which washes off any bits of dust or anything else that may have got into it, like a car’s windscreen wiper with squirty screen wash.

If we didn’t blink so much, we wouldn’t be able to see properly, so it’s lucky we do!

Dr Rob Hogan, president of the College of Optometrists

Check out the article as there are more questions with answers to get you prepared for when those questions come you’ll be ready!

Hola Hola Jumpiteerz! Just like you’re a fan of the Jumpitz we’re fans of Superheroes like Spider Man and Super Man because they all stand for something positive.

If you could be any superhero which one would you be and why?

Hola hola Jumpiteerz! Do you remember Disney’s the Jungle Book? Do you remember Mowgli and his bear friend Baloo? In school we’re told that Bears are dangerous and we should stay away from me if ever get to encounter them in the wild (and you should! )but we’re curios to know if humans can be around them and maybe find out if Mowgli and Baloo aren’t just make believe.

You know we love to learn and one of our favorite things to learn about are animals so there’s no better place to look than National Geographic. Yipee! As we were looking at the new videos section and found a really cool video about bears in the wild and how people (highly trained) actually do get close to them. Yup those cute furry animals are actually rather friendly and according to the scientist they are more afraid of us humans.

Hope you enjoy the video and you should know there’s a really funny scene where the Bear is scratching his back against a tree a-la Baloo that really made us lauhg!

Hola hola Jumpiteerz! Hey so we found a really cool application from one of our favorite places in the whole world: Lego. You know those colorful pieces you can use to build stuff? It’s called Lego Digital Designer and it let’s you build lego bricks on your computer, we downloaded it to see what we could create with it.

At first we didn’t know where to start but after tinkering with it for a while we thought we create the Jumpitz House and here’s where we are so far:

It’s not finished but we’ll be working on it for the next couple of days. In the meantime you should definitely give Lego Digital Designer a try and see what you can create with it!

P.S. How do you think the Jumpitz House looks from the outside? What would you like it to have?

Hey Jumpiteerz this is a somewhat old video but it’s very very funny, it’s a 22 month old toddler playing Wii tennis! Don’t know if he won the game but he put a big smile on our faces…
