Alice and I were so excited to get our The Learning Journey Techno Gears Marble Mania Crankster Building Kit!!

I was impressed with the way the pieces are packaged together making it easy to find the correct pieces when called out in the instructions. There are over 100 pieces in the Marble Mania Techno Gears Crankster set. With the help of one very adorable 4 year old I realized I was in over my head and called in the help of Pop-Pop. While kids that are 6 and over would be able to…

Tappy Alphabet App Review

First, if an app doesn’t keep Alice entertained she won’t use it. No matter how much I try. Tappy Alphabet not only keeps her 100% entertained, engaged but SHE is LEARNING at the same time!! Even more impressive? Alice PICKS Tappy Alphabet to play with FIRST out of a LOT of different apps she has available on my iPad. THAT is truly impressive to me. This is a simple app that teaches, not only the alphabet but over 100 different vocabulary words!! The colorful graphics…
