Learning Resources New Sprouts Ring It Up Cash Register Review & Giveaway ~Gift Idea For Young Children~ (US) 11/29
Children learn through play and play while they learn. I love watching our kids grow and mimic the things they see us do. One of the first "games" that many young children tend to pick up is talking on the phone. It's a fact of life that most people communicate through phones these days. I was really surprised that our youngest, now 16 months, picked up, not the phone game, but "playing puppy" as his first game. I love watching him crawl around with his tongue slightly out pretending. None of our Read more [...]
Casio LK-165 Lighted Keyboard Review & Giveaway ~Gift Idea For All Music Lovers~ (US) 11/28
My family enjoys music. We love having tunes flowing through our home daily whether it be from the piano, radio, cd's, musical instruments, or now keyboard. Everyone, even our youngest who is 1, enjoys exploring the musical world. We enrolled in a local Kindermusic class a couple years ago when one was offered and it was amazing to see how all the children interacted and learned through the duration of the class. At the end, our 3rd child was about to turn one and it was truly a joy to Read more [...]
Manhattan Toy Imagine I Can Pirate Treasures And Secret Agent Spy Gear Review & Imagine I Can – Toy Of Choice Giveaway ~Gift Idea/Stocking Stuffer~ For Boys & Girls (US) 11/27
Imaginations run rampant when children are at play. It's truly amazing to watch the fun things kids can come up with. While it goes against my nature to let the kids have free rein when they really get into their play, I allow it. We've had carnivals in our living room complete with wall to wall decorations, games, plastic cups with "popcorn" (paper), and "lemonade" (tissue paper). Our 6 and 8 year old spent an entire day, over six hours, creating this carnival. The joy on their faces Read more [...]
Lakeshore Learning Colorpillar Magnetic Maze & Classic Hardwood Learning Toys Trio Review & Discount Code ~Learning Gift Idea For Toddlers & Preschoolers~
I am a huge fan of learning toys. When I'm in the market to purchase games, toys, and other supplies or products, I tend to gravitate towards "learning" ones. Since kids enjoy playing, I love to know that there is an added element of learning involved. When it's time to sit down for school work, there are days where my kids just can't concentrate. Especially during those moments, I like have products on hand to help them switch gears. If we leave the table for 15 minutes and go play Read more [...]
Spark Of Amber Baltic Teething Necklaces And Ring Review & Necklace Giveaway ~Gift Idea For Children, Men, Or Women~ (US) 11/24
Teething is one of the joys and trials of parenthood and I am willing to try almost anything (that is safe) to help relieve the discomfort and pain. Our first child was a terrible teether. She would spike a 104 temp and be really sick for 24 hours and then the next morning, there would be a new tooth. While each episode was short-lived, I felt completely helpless as nobody had any good suggestions for helping her besides medicating. Now that I am a seasoned parent to four, I have learned Read more [...]
