Howtoons is like manna from heaven. Functional, fun projects that don't all revolve around gluing stuff to other stuff. Terrific, vividly illustrated instructions. Stuff that's cool enough for big kids to do by themselves, and interesting enough for little kids to get excited about helping with. Pinchy chopsticks that I don't have to scour Chinatown for (these disappeared from brick-and-mortar stores when my kids were born. Why is that?).
Make and it's sibling Craft are such awesome showcases for people who are still interested in creating things; it's a pleasure to see them encouraging the next generation of makers and crafters.
