Review: At Night Scratch Cards

We got At Night Scratch Cards since we have liked all the other Djeco art kits we have used before. I got it with my Timberdoodle points. This kit has 4 cards, a manual and a scratching stick. Now, I thought that these cards were like the previous ones where you scratch and it reveals a picture. Sadly, that was not the case so our first go turned out pretty awful. It turns out that you need to scratch the cards in a design that you like. The manual goes through what parts you need to scratch for the design. However, I let our daughter scratch wherever and whatever to make her own designs. That way she can be as creative as she likes. I do enjoy things where she can use her own ideas and personality. It makes each art piece completely unique.

The cards do have a very pretty starter design. There is an owl, cat, fox and butterfly. Like with the other Djeco kits I wish there was more projects to do. Something that is very cool about this art kit is that the cards glow in the dark. I did not expect the cards to flow very well because most glow in the dark things are quite disappointing to be honest. However, this kit proves the exception. These cards glow so nicely and super bright. I was very surprised and impressed. Even though our daughter likes everything to do with art including this kit I was not particularly fond of this one. I am not quite sure why I do not like it. When you scratch the cards it sounds like writing ona chalkboard which I can not stand. I also wish that the cards revealed a picture like some of the other Djeco art kits do. These are pretty minor issues. Even though I have problems with this kit I would say it is a good kit to start with.

However, if you do not mind the sound and want a lot where your child can be as creative as they want then this kit would be perfect for you. If you are looking for a new art kit for your child this one may be just the ticket. Moreover, I would suggest a lot of the Djeco kits over this one. Djeco has lots and lots of other art kits. They have pompom, glitter, sticker kits and more. Timberdoodle has a lot of those kits and many others. It is where we get all out homeschool curriculum and the majority of our art kits. Each year I like to have a bunch of art kits to do throughout the year. There is a Djeco kit I have been wanting to try out. It uses glitter and I am hoping that we get it for next school year. I do not think you can every have enough art kits or things where the child can be creative.

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.
