Cooking Adventures With Cricket: India

Did you know?

India boasts the world’s second largest population.
Cattle are sacred in the Hindu religion; therefore most Indians don’t eat cow’s meat.
Explore India’s colorful culture (and practice multiplication) by reading One Grain of Rice: A Mathematical Folktale, written and beautifully illustrated by Demi.
The most popular sport in the country is cricket.
English and Hindi are the official languages, but there are 18 additional regional dialects!
Hindi Vocab: khanai (to eat)

Get your little chef to help you make a Mango Raita, a yummy Indian recipe that is sure to please.

	A Float That Will Keep Floating	top

Think about the number of pool rafts that rip and tear after a summer’s worth of use and end up in our landfills after Labor Day. This year, invest in a float that will last for years (and require no messy patch kits!), the EcoRaft by Green Bottle USA. The EcoRaft is similar to any other inflatable raft, but instead of air, it’s filled with 26 empty, two-liter bottles. Plus, with the ability to hold up to 300 lbs, it’s durable enough for your whole crew! - Stephanie Hacker

	Log on and Recycle with Julia	top

Is your little one itching for something to do on a rainy day? Julia is here to brighten his day. An educational website, Julia’s Rainbow Corner was created by parents to be kid-friendly and ad-free. Among the many games and activities, your kid can help the animated Julia clean up the park while she explains what to recycle and why. (Parents, the site is for you too, with plenty of tips for how your family can be more eco-friendly!) - S.H.
