In this semi-regular series, we will take a look at random things that I have stashed in Pocket. Don’t have Pocket yet? GO GET IT!
I have been using Pocket for number of years and it is my place to stash just about everything interesting I find on the internet. From videos, to images, to 3D printing files, to articles I want to come back to, it all goes into my Pocket. I love digging through and seeing things I have forgotten about including this video from Mental Floss.
Mental Floss and John Green make an amazing combination and this video is about 8 minutes of things you could use as a parent or a teacher. A few of the hacks that he suggests that I like include:
- Egg Cartons for paint
- Egg Carton for cards
- Upside down crazy straw in a cup with a lid
- Don’t buy generic plastic wrap and peanut butter
- Dunking Oreos in the middle of the container (which I don’t thing they come with anymore)
- Celery in a nearly empty peanut butter containers
- Frozen Marshmallows as an icepack
- Don’t acquire glitter
There are more in the video, and there are a ton of Mental Floss videos available on YouTube to learn a lot about a lot of things. There are more videos on Lifehacks, Debunking Myths on Thanksgiving and more! Hope you find a good video and learn something new.
