What price freedom (from your kids)?

Unless we’re getting ripped off by a cartel of price-fixing teenagers, babysitters these days charge in the neighborhood of 20 bucks an hour. But what if you just need an hour to yourself, to get some work done, or work out, or catch up on The Americans? Are you really going to pay some high-school kid 20 bucks to sit there while your kid stares at a TV?

These Discover with Dr. Cool kits won’t get your kids into Stanford. But they’re probably each good for a couple of “oohs” and half an “aah” from a bored kid. By the time they get tired of digging out the dinosaur poop, they can move on to panning for fool’s gold. When they lose interest in the glowing rocks, it’s time to excavate a spider.

Add the time it takes to open all the packages, look at the instructions, maybe read the “cool science facts” and do the “wonderful puzzles and games” in the booklets (laying it on a little thick there, aren’t we, Doctor?), and we figure this bundle amounts to at least an hour of educational distraction for your offspring, making Dr. Cool better than any babysitter at half the price. We cannot, however, vouch for his credentials as a doctor.

If you’re really angling for parent of the year, you could share some quality time with your kids by playing with these kits together. Personally, we take care of that by cleaning all this crap up together.
