Young children are bundles of hope and joy in any home. A child starts becoming  lively just when teething starts and they are able to murmur a few words. That said, when does a baby start teething?Teething for most babies usually starts between four and seven months. It is during this time that your cute little bundle of joy will turn on the cranky side, becoming all fussy and clingy as well as highly irritable. The change is with good reason as teething comes with a lot of discomfort and pain.baby playing

Most parents will usually find themselves heading to the store to try to get something that will help make the teething experience a little more bearable to the baby. The number of teething products is quite overwhelming, and picking the right one might be a bit of a challenge. Below are some of the best types of toys that will be both safe and effective.

Chill toys

These refer to toys that are designed to be chilled before giving the baby. They are usually made from plastic or rubber. The cold temperatures will help in alleviating any pain and discomfort while soothing the swollen gums. The toys will remain flexible even in the cold temperatures, for the baby to enjoy the chewing action. It is advisable to avoid gel or liquid-filled teething toys when selecting. Remember that chilling should not be done to freezing temperatures.

Mesh feeders

You can opt for a mesh feeder as the teething toy, but only if your baby six months of age or older. Mesh feeder is a small mesh bag with a sturdy ring attached to it. You can pop a delight into the bag, such as chilled banana or strawberries, close the bag, and give it to the baby to enjoy. The mesh will ensure that only safe amounts of pulp and flavor make it through, while soothing the gums in the process. Feeding and soothing are both taken care of at the same time.

The vibrating toys have rubber or silicon exterior and they will only vibrate when the baby clamps down on it from the exterior.…

Flying a remote controlled plane is so much fun and you can have all that fun if you learn how to build an RC plane by yourself.

RC Plane (2)

Here is how to one cutting the cost of buying one.

To build the plane you have to take three main steps. They are:

1. Prepare the parts.
  • Have a model plan of the kind of plane you want and map it out on a card board using a pencil.folded paper
  • Cut out the plan into pieces that you will later attach to make the fuselage and put these aside together.
  • Assemble each of the parts like the elevens, the vertical stabilizer making sure that all angles fit in neatly and that they are well jointed. Make and attach the control horns to the elevons. Make sure that you have the angles right. This is very important.
  • Have all the other parts like mortars, wires, propellers, under carriage and remote control in order.

2. Building the plane.
  • Start by building the body. Once you have the plan cut out, assemble it making all angles touch the other. Tape the boards as you join them going further into the board along the angles to have a firm joint
  • Attach the elevens. With the control horns already stuck on the elevens, this should be easy. Align then elevens along the plane’s belly. Make sure they are well balanced and then tape each elevon firmly to the body. Ensure that the tape generously runs to the edge of the elevon on each side cutting off the excess at the corners.
  • Having done that, place the plane to stand on its nose and tape along the elevens joints, bending them forward a little to give the hinge a firmer hold and strength.
  • Now it’s time to attach the vertical stabilizer. At this point, make sure the stabilizer is straight and that it flushes well with the body on the rear of the plane to keep the plane from turning.
RC Plane controller 3. The electronics.
  • Have an area marked off near the nose of the plane for the motor. Use the motors dimension while marking. Mount the motor on this provision you have made then attach the propeller.
  • Attach other components like battery pack, receiver and speed controller carefully distributing the weight so that the plane balances well.
  • Connect the wiring and the servos which are essentially gears that help to give motion to the moving parts of the plane.
You can now fly the plane and teach your friends how to build an RC plane by yourself.
