• Apple Pie Kids DIY iPad Case Review

    FUN!! Durable, functional AND FREAKISHLY inexpensive!! I love that tag line!! These iPad cases are truly made for kids!! What other iPad case do you know of that kids can décorate themselves?? The Grandkids Emma and Eli were here for a sleepover, their little eyes lit up when NaNa brought out Apple Pie kids iPad cases, paint, stickers and markers. The E’s went nuts!! The E’s were busy for hours!! Ahhhhhh NaNa nailed it!!! These are iPad covers I don’t mind if they are covered in applesauce, spilled juice and sticky hand prints! Apple Pie covers are 100% made of recyclable materials. The case closes with velcro in the corners for added protection. Apple Pie cases are made in the USA. The cases are bendable so you can stand them up for movie watching. The camera hole and speaker cutouts are completely functional. , At a sale price of $16.99 for a 3-pack, that’s less than $5.67 each!! Seriously, where are…

    Here comes the cute!! This time I don’t mean just the Grandkid!!! I am thrilled to share my review of Sukey’s Circle staring Sukey Molloy. The whole experience is ADORABLE!!!!!!! Sukey herself is so sweet that you just want to hug her!! I LOVE THIS DVD As my followers know, I spend my days with my 2-year-old Granddaughter Alice. We are in the car a LOT!! So, of course, I’m always on the lookout for entertaining videos that teach and entertain AND more importantly, won’t make me insane within 2 miles of home. Sukey Molloy of Sukey’s Circle fits that need to a big HAPPY T!!! Sukey’s Circle is a wonderful DVD. The songs she sings are catchy and FUN!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the beginning of each mini show, where Sukey sings “Heeellooooo everyone, it’s so nice to see you” I sing that catchy little tune to Alice (of course substituting everyone for Alice) now and she just laughs…

    Children Learning Reading Program creators Jim and Elena are parents to three children. They have taught two of their children (their third child is still a baby) to read. Little children!! Jim researched a lot of information on teaching children how to read and put all this information together in a reading program so we can teach OUR toddlers and kids to read before the age of THREE??? Yup!! three!! My regular followers know I babysit my 2-year-old Granddaughter Alice. While we spend time every day with a learning activity. Each lesson is short. Jim and Elena recommend spending only 10 to 15 minutes a day with the lessons. PERFECT!!! Alice doesn’t lose interest and doesn’t dread having her ‘school time’ I want Alice to be excited to learn!! After all her little mind is like a sponge!! At 2 she is anxious to learn!! This program is designed to properly teach phonemic awareness. “Teaching phonics and phonemic awareness produces…

  • Alphabet Flash Cards from Educational Toy Planet

    I spend my days with my two year old Granddaughter Alice. We have lots of play time, but, I make sure we have learning time too. I’m always on the lookout for educational items that keep Alice interested!! These Alphabet Flash Cards from Educational Toy Planet fits the bill!! The cards are large and easy to hold for Alice. Each card has a bright colorful item on one side that corresponds to the letter on the other side. A for Apple and so on. The deck has 52 cards. Upper and lower case letters. We use the Alphabet Cards in several ways. *Letter side up I ask Alice to match the upper and lower case letters. *With the picture side up, I ask Alice to name the item. For instance Apple, I’ll ask her “What does Apple start with?” *Next I ask Alice to match the picture with the letter it starts with. So many possibilities! These could be used…

THANK YOU Barker Creek for helping me do just that!!! Alice and I are excited to share with you our review of Learning Magnets Red Kid Board and Learning Magnet’s High Frequency Words The two products are so perfect together!! First, the Kid Board is the coolest shade of red! It’s the perfect size too! Alice can set the Kid Board on her lap or it fits in the highchair tray. The Kids Board is deep enough that all the High Frequency Words fit inside AND they don’t come tumbling down on NaNa’s head when it’s time for school. I have to share this video.
