My husband's family does this. I had to fight hard not to roll my eyes.

All three dolls include a variety of Math curricula with manipulatives and chalkboards with tiny real chalk!

What are manipulatives?

What are manipulatives?

Counting objects that are used to teach math.

I can't believe people actually do that...

What are manipulatives?

manipulatives are basically things children hold and manipulate to help them learn, (like counting bears, magnetic letters, and Cuisenaire rods)

I didn't either. She used sharpies to paint on bathing suits. It was definitely a facepalm moment

[Conuly]

And of course, use of manipulatives isn't restricted to math class, although the term seems more common there. If you're using a set of measuring cups and sand to teach volume, those are manipulatives. If you're using a puzzle map where each state or country is removable to teach geography, that's also a manipulative. If you're using letter tiles to help teach spelling, those are manipulatives.

One-piece, two-piece, or WholesomeWear?

*ed because I can't spell wholesome, I guess that means I'm not a wholesome person

[Sobeknofret]

While I will freely cop to owning and loving Birkenstocks, I do not own a grain mill. Oh, and frumpers are a fashion crime. :lol:

[lilith]

Zsuzsanna would be appalled that you have to choose between Protestant Barbie and and the home remedies and grain mill.

That Homeschool Barbie has more gray hair than I do! I'm 59, though, and I've earned (and don't mind) the gray.

[dilannsmom]

Does she still have huge boobs, an itty-bitty waist and high-heel feet? :lol:

[bookgirl14]

I'm sure that the fundies would not approve of the Barbie choosing the curriculum and not the "headship"

I think that it was a one piece. The funny part being that the mom actually wears a bikini in the summer sometimes.

[bucherwurm]

I'd love these!

This brought a smile to my face. :) Thanks for posting the link!

[FloraKitty35]

All of the new Barbie's have the Barbie logo all over her crotch in lieu of panties. She needs a makeover and she could become Cougar Barbie.

[twin2]

OK, is this real or a joke.

Sadly, I can't tell.

[Mela99]

Snort. That's great

[Rescinded and Mended]

Heh. Homeschool Barbie reminds me of those creepy kids in the Village of the Damned movies.

[yetanothermeg]

OMG I love it. Love it.

What are manipulatives?

My new name for some of my relatives.

My new name for some of my relatives.

BAHAHA, good one. I have a couple that fit that description also.

My favorite part of the homeschool barbie article was the last line, as I'm an unschooler at heart. :D
