Cool summer entertainment: pinwheel in front of a fan
Blythe's got the right idea on a hot afternoon:
My toddler and I were looking for ways to beat the heat yesterday (he was sweaty and screamy and I was trying to move as little as possible). I finally came up with a pinwheel toy that fascinated him, and both of us sat in front of the fan for an hour - me, cooling off and being motionless; him, being entertained by the pinwheel spun by the air from the fan.
Pair it with this margarita and you're set!
(or any Amazon link at Parent Hacks), you throw some change into our tip jar without any extra steps or cost to you. Thank you!
I love it. Target has some big pinwheels you can plant in your garden our kids get a kick out of them.

I can remember my mom doing this. It certainly worked for me, but I was sure she was doing it just to entertain and delight me. Never thought twice about how SHE felt about the heat (ah, childhood, so ego-centric)! :)
