My daughter Sam and I love UFO Catcher/crane/claw machines, and we have a pretty good track record when it comes to snagging toys.
I dunno if I gained special powers when I became a dad, because I never used to win on these machines. Most recently, we conquered Timezone’s Maxi Claw, which I joked before would be the pinnacle of our career since we’ve already won toys on all sorts of crane machines.
You can bet Sam was thrilled when I snagged Piglet. It took two tries, so I only spent P58 to get the toy.
I know that I jokingly told Sam that we can already retire after conquering the Maxi Claw, but we’re having too much fun. After all, as my wife Ellen puts it, it’s “our thing.”
Onward to the next claw machine!
My daughter Sam was happy when we created a KidZui.com account for her.
This is a free browser that’s customized for kids. It offers tons of online content (including games, videos and music) that’s already been pre-selected for kids by parents and teachers, so that your child can experience the same freedom adults do while browsing, without you having to worry that they’ll go to an inappropriate site.
Thanks to Jerome Gotangco for the heads up — found out about KidZui from him after he replied to my tweet about Sam catching the big fish in Club Penguin.
I created a new Club Penguin account for my daughter Sam, because it’s been a long while since she last played.
She had fun playing, and if you have a kid, I’d highly recommend this Flash-based massively multiplayer online game, which Disney purchased in August 2007.
Club Penguin is free to play, but paid membership is required if you’d like to purchase clothes and access other exclusive content.
Here’s a screenshot of one of the mini-games Sam loves playing, Gone Fishing.
And here’s a wallpaper.
