Grandpa Pencil digs up loads of
Recession Busting Activities

Bad Times, Recession? Bah-Humbug!
If you don't mind a little silliness, a lot of creativity and an enormous laugh
you can put your money somewhere safe and using really cheapskate stuff, turn this time into the best you have experienced.
Scrunched up newspaper, old bits of cardboard, paper plates, drinking straws and other stuff you have around the house or in the pantry could just change your life forever.

Click on the link above or select from Grandpa Pencil's amazing list of contents (right) for all you need to know.

The bad times are just gluing your fingers together and even that can be fun.


Grandpa Pencil finds some
Teachers' Resources

Designed to offer an inspiration to homeschoolers, parents, teachers and students this section contains simple science, rhymes and poetry, history including Australian history, puzzles, math worksheets and heaps of activities.




GRANDPA PENCIL LEARNS
ABOUT AUSTRALIA
Including Australian Colonial Intelligence where we take a look at the country through old newspapers and records as well as sections on Australian Colonial verse and song and the ships and people of the first fleet. Find out about Democracy in australia, our states, cities and famous people.
A great resource for students, teachers and parents.


Green-Up Australia

We can wait until our International, National or State 'Leaders' come up with a 'one size fits all' solution for our failing ecology, of course.
I am of the firm belief, though, that the great strength of humankind is its diversity and that our solutions should be sought in the household/family and the community.
We, the people, have greater power over our planet than the combined governments of the world if we care at all.
Dare to dream, dare to care and dare to act NOW.
