I am sure some of you know about this already, but there is this cool FREE program on-line called "magic pen." It is similar to the crayola physics, but it is also FREE and can be used on a Mac. It's based on things you draw and you have to move your object to a flag. You basically use physics to get it there. It definitely is challenging and gets you thinking. There are a bunch of sites it is on if you google it, so not sure which is best and which we use. My DS4 (and DH) LOVE it and there is even a Magic pen 2.

cool! i had never seen this, so i asked DS5 to come and check it out. He says that magic pen 2 is easier and more fun because it has more levels. Although i don't really know how much experience he has with the first version. He's in the other room telling me "mom, the higher versions are usually better you know." (And of course, since he's 5, he's an expert!)

Magic Pen looks great - just had my boy and his friend playing and laughing a lot. Must get a new mouse tho' - the one I have is bust!
