Techno Gears Marble Mania Crankster #learningjourney
Alice and I were so excited to get our The Learning Journey Techno Gears Marble Mania Crankster Building Kit!! We pulled everything out of the box along with very detailed instructions are several bags of parts. 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 put this together alone a 4 year old and a direction-ally challenged NaNa ….. well not so much!! My nice neat little piles of blocks and pieces were being handed to me faster than I could find the next step in the booklet. Pop-Pop to the rescue!! Pop-Pop had The…

Buying Sports Equipment for Children
With the commencement of this year’s summer season, school children are primed to fully enjoy their vacation. One way in which kids enjoy these vacations is through summer sports leagues and camps. Two of the most popular sports that hold summer programs are baseball and softball, and basketball as well. However, your child participating means you must provide quality equipment to keep your child safe and successful.

The Tiny Traveler Series For Kids Review
Board Books are NOT just for babies!! Since I spend my days with 3-year-old Alice, we do a lot of playing, a lot of art and a lot of learning projects. Alice can write her alphabet; she can read so many site words I’ve lost count. There are several books that she can read front to back. Yes, they are easy books and I’m sure that she has them memorized. But, I’m still beaming with pride. I was approached by Misti Kenison to review her new series of children’s board books; The Tiny Traveler series. I jumped at the chance! Seriously, what better way to teach kids how to read than the little board books!! Board books usually only have a few words per page. The words are usually in big bold print; perfection! When the books arrived Alice and I were both thrilled!! Such cute books! Written and Illustrated by the very talented Misti Kenison. Egypt is a book…
