Shoplet For Home Schooling! Work AND Play!
We are on Day 3 of Summer Vacation. So far so good!! Today I broke out my haul from Shoplet! 6-year-old Alice is definitely my Granddaughter. Her little face lit UP when I pulled out markers!! We do love our markers and pens!! Of course, new whiteboard markers mean we have to play school. I am NEVER the teacher. Oh well, at least it’s a learning activity, right? So? What’s new with Shoplet? How about Expo Dry Erase Markers with built in erases in the cap!! How convenient is that!? Not just eraser in the cap but each marker has a magnet on the side for even more convenience. The set comes with four colors. Green, red, blue and black. Everything a budding new teacher needs for her classroom! Next up; Expo Dual Ended Dry Erase Markers. These are very handy for whiteboard writing. Two colors in one! Sweet. Each color has one side that is black and the other is either red, blue, green or purple. Alice of course, loves the purple! Each color is vibrant enough to be seen from far away. Erases easily. Each of the Expo white board markers is low odor, too. Next up…

As our newest reading book. It’s SO CUTE!!! Written by Kate Shannon and illustrated by award-winning Morgan Owens, Hey, Baby, Look! is steeped in brain-based research and meant to optimize interactive learning in a positive and playful way. What Alice and I like about this book is the fact it’s also a question book. Each page has four different pictures and corresponding questions. For instance; Is the Lemon Sour? So each page has dozens of learning opportunities. From which of these four pictures can you eat? Which of these four pictures have a scent? So MANY possibilities!! Hey, Baby, Look! is a brand new children’s board book, created especially for the zero-to-three, infant and toddler market. As a nominee for the 27th Annual Minnesota Book Awards, “Hey, Baby, Look! applies the…
