Review: Deep in the Jungle Mosaics

Art! Art! Art! We love art class. WThis time we went with Deep in the Jungle Mosaics. It is another Djeco kit since our daughter has really enjoyed the other Djeco kits that we have gotten from Timberdoodle. We have done a mosaic arts and craft be Djeco before so our daughter knew exactly what to do with this one. Do not fret though. If your child has never done one before it will be still be easy for them to do this art kit. Djeco’s manuals are easy ti follow. It is entirely done in pictures and then you do what the pictures show. Very easy and very simple for a young child to do on their own. If you have read some of my other reviews the. You know that I like things that our daughter can do on her own. That way she can be occupied if I need to get some housework done or have to tend to little sis.

Deep in the Jungle Mosaics has 4 projects like the other Djeco kits we have done. And as always I wish they had more than 4 since our daughter loves doing arts and crafts. This particular Djeco kit has a frog, a snake, a bird and a jaguar. Each board is sturdy so I have no worries about them getting bent or messed up which I really like. I love to display our daughters art around the house and with these strong boards I am able to nicely put them on the walls. In this particular Djeco kit you are given a lot of stickers. Some are shiny, some are glittery and some rhinestones. The manual will tell you which ones go where and on what project. The only downside to this kit are the rhinestones. It is the same situation as with the other Djeco mosaic kit we had. They are hard to get off and sometimes the sticky stuff does not come off the sticker page. If the sticker does not have any stickiness I have found that you can still pull it off the page and smush it back onto the rhinestone. So at least you are not wasting a stone. I would suggest this kit. It is easy to do and fun for younger children.

We get our curriculum from Timberdoodle every single year and they have a wonderful selection of arts and crafts for every age. There are even some that I want to get for myself. I will be buying some more art kits from Timberdoodle in the future as you can never have to many art projects to do. If you are looking for things for homeschool or items just to enhance what your child is learning in school then look up Timberdoodle.

Can you guess what 2nd grade item from our Timberdoodle kit we will review next? Here are your clues:

Dice

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,...
