Review: Tactile Search and Math

Absolutely love this for the younger kids. What better way to show a bunch of different textures a then by a hands-on toy. Tactile Search and Match, which I got from Timberdoodle, is big enough for the littles not to choke on. Our 8 month old plays with these all throughout and doesn’t seem to get bored at all. I can have her feel the pieces and match by that or match by colors. In this way it can grow with your child for a little bit.

There are 9 different rubber textures that your child will be introduced, too. They are meant to match them to the correct tactile spots on the board. What I like is that not only are they getting sensory play but they get an introduction to colors as well. So, even if a child doesn’t like the feel of the objects they can sort them by the bright colors. If your child is not ready to match the pieces yet that is fine. You can see if they know the colors and can pick the ones that you ask for.

I really appreciate that the pieces are bigger so that even young kiddos like mine can play with something that she learn a lot from. Even if you take the pieces away and just let them play with board itself they can fell the textures and see the bright colors. This is also another great hands-on activity that both our girls can do together. If you use another great hands-on item like this for your child let us know what it is in the comment section below.

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: 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.

Review: A to Z Board Book

Books are a great way to teach kids so I like to start out reading to our girls when they are quite young. We have a lot of books especially ones with the alphabet. This book is another alphabet book for babies and toddlers but it is different because it is with animals. It is called A to Z Board Book . The main thing that I like about this book is that it is a board book. They are sturdy and they can stand up to the rough way young child treat their things. Our youngest likes to rip up books so I have to only keep board books out and the rest put away. This alphabet book is a lift the flap book so I do keep this one were our daughter can not freely get to it because she will rip the flaps off. We do read this one everyday while we do school because really likes being able to open the flaps and then say the animal and their sounds. If I had to choose one alphabet book for babies and toddlers I would go with this one. We use this board book in multiple ways. We go over the letters,...
