Review: A Whole Bunch of Feelings

Hands down the best book I have found for teaching different feelings and how to handle them for young kids. We got this with our Timberdoodle kit and I’d recommend it to anyone and everyone. Our daughter was a late talker so this has really helped her with expressing how she is feeling and how she handles her feelings. There is a wide variety of feelings in this book. Each has a short paragraph giving an example of the feeling. What I found amazing was after the explanation they have a question related to the feeling. It gave us a great intro to further discuss the feelings and a way to teach our daughter how she could act in different situations.

The illustrations are quite nicely done and easy on the eyes with the colors they chose. I like that the descriptions of each feeling are not overbearing for a child. They explain each one in a way that even a young child could easily understand what the feelings are. After reading about each feeling we talked about a time that she might have felt that way and a possible solution if the situation called for it. It is such a great way to bond with your child while teaching and reading to them at the same time. We have used other things for going over emotions but I really enjoyed teaching them with this book. Do you have a book your child and you really like?

Review: All About Reading Level 4

We have finished All About Reading Level 4 ! I am so glad that we started using this program from All About Learning Press. It is hands-down the best if you want to teach anyone to read. This last level goes over the rare teams, unexpected phonic sounds, and words that are borrowed from other languages. The break down of each lesson is amazing not only for the teacher but the student as well. The games incorporated make it really intriguing for the student. I absolutely love the little readers that come with each level. The lessons are perfectly spaced out so that it isn't too much at one time. I love the way the teacher's manual is done. As a dyslexic teaching another dyslexic I couldn't be happier with the teaching method. A lot of the things taught in all 4 levels of All About Reading I learned for the first time. I had never learned them in public school but am so glad I am able to teach them to my own kids. While most American adults read at a 7-8 grade level my seven...

Review: Sensory Tissue Box

We have been trying out a lot of new baby items this year and here is another one we did not have for our first daughter. It is called Sensory Tissue Box . What makes this toy so much fun? Let's be honest babies love to get into things. We have tried before to let her play with a regular box of tissues. Big mess. The tissues were everywhere and they have like 250 tissues in a box, she torn them up to so an even bigger mess. Our daughter even went as far as to rip the box itself up. This sensory tissue box though is made of very soft fabric so she can not tear it up, it has 15 tissues so less to keep track of and the tissue can not be easily torn up either. This is the biggest positive of this sensory box in my opinion. Another positive to having this sensory tissue box instead of a regular one is that the tissues are different colors and sizes as well as having different textures to them. There are 6 see-through ones, 6 see-through ones that have dots on them and 3 crinkly ones. T...

Review: Djeco Pompom Pictures - All Aboard

Djeco Pompom is a super cute and easy art craft for toddlers. They just put the pompoms on the corresponding dots. I like that it comes with all the pompoms you need. However, the glue stick they give you doesn’t make the pompoms sticks to the board. I tried regular glue and that didn’t work either so I ended up having to use a hot glue gun. So, I suggest having hot glue if you get this. There are small circles on the boards to let you know what color pompom goes where so it’s pretty self-explanatory. The kit does come with a small manual that it done with pictures so even your little one can look at the manual and understand which pompoms go on which board.
