Papercraft! How you can make your own minecraft chess set!

Papercraft is something you can do in your spare time.
You will need:

  1. Scissors
  2. Paper
  3. Printer (with color ink)
  4. glue
  5. tape (optional)
Print a template online and start cutting and gluing! I recommend printing on cardstock, because paper is too flimsy (but paper will do just fine)

There are a whole bunch of templates here.
The Minecraft Chess Set is here.
Now you have something to do over the summer!
Happy papercrafting!!!

Hydrogen Peroxide: Great For Your Teeth!

Hydrogen peroxide is commonly used for antiseptic purposes to clean scrapes or cuts, but did you know it can be used for your teeth? (It even says so on the bottle) Teeth whiteners you buy at the store contain a compound called carbamide peroxide which breaks down to urea and hydrogen peroxide. (Urea removes stains and hydrogen peroxide becomes a bleaching agent) It may irritate your gums, tongue, and/or the roof of your mouth, but if you swallow hydrogen peroxide, it can damage your internal membranes and esophagus. (SO DON'T SWALLOW) (The most common problems with rinsing hydrogen peroxide is mild gum irritation, and/or temperature sensitivity. Hydrogen peroxide also fights bacteria in your mouth and gingivitis (bleeding and inflamed gums) Hydrogen peroxide prevents plaque and bacteria build up, which leads to a fresher breath. Because of the oxidation of hydrogen peroxide, it gets to mostly everywhere in your mouth where bacteria tend to stay. I use the solution that my dentist recommends which is 50% water, and 50% hydrogen peroxide.

During the party, something came knocking at the door. It was a police cat! All the villagers were banned from their village forever. Soon, a baby cat was borned (no, not a grammatical error) and the whole kingdom (formerly the village) cheered at had a party. During the party, there was a knock on the entrance to the kingdom.
