A Thermometer That'll Show Your Kids What They Should Wear
Kathy McGuire’s son had a tough time understanding that he couldn’t wear shorts when the weather turned cool.
Getting strong-willed 4-year-old Ryan ready for preschool in the morning turned into a daily battle.McGuire, a stay-at-home mom with an engineering degree, knew there had to be an easier way. After a great deal of research, trial and error and making prototypes in her laundry room, the Downers Grove mom invented a thermometer that not only reads the outside temperature, but also shows kids how to dress.
Using recent tax refunds and money earned through playing guitar at a local restaurant on the weekends, McGuire created and patented My Little Weatherbuddy, “a kid’s first thermometer.”

That’s a neat idea, maybe one could be invented to tell them to brush their teeth every morning:)
