Review: Step-by-Step Drawing Book

 Great book for young children and budding artists! Step-by-Step is exactly what it says. Each 2 page spread shows how to draw a different item. What is so nice about this book is that the drawings are very simple to follow. Something complicated would easily make a young student frustrated if their drawing doesn’t resemble the picture in the book. 

The book starts off very simple and another plus to this book is that some of the pictures even show how you can make different designs to help make your drawings more detailed. Our daughter loves this book because she loves to draw and all things art. There is a lot of extra space so that you can practice multiple times to prefect your drawing skills. 

Some of the things you can draw even have other pictures that go along with them. For example, there is a castle, Princess and dragon so your little artist ab draw a scene with them. That combined with the different ways you can draw the same picture can help your student make some elaborate drawings. This workbook is definitely high in my recommendation list. Fun, simple and engaging. A great addition for any art class for the younger children. 



I think the best part of this book is that the last few pages have a scene started and tells you what you can add to the scene. This allows the child to use their creative skills in a super fun way. If your student has never made a drawing with lots of items then these scenes can help them understand how to combine different components to make a truly outstanding masterpiece. I love when I can use an item in multiple ways. At least 1-2 times a week we paint; sometimes even more. With this art book our daughter is able to transfer those drawing skills into another art form.

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.
