Review: Play Together Caterpillar

A lot of the toys we get when our kids are babies are the cute ones and this teether is definitely adorable. Our youngest is teething pretty bad at the moment so when I saw the Play Together Caterpillar I knew it was something I wanted to get for her. When I was taking it out of the packaging I called her into the living room and I wish I would have gotten it on video because she was absolutely the cutest. She did a huge gasp and made her shocked face then demanded that I give her the caterpillar. It has a fuzzy tail, a crinkly body and a light green leaf-shaped teether hanging on it. There is a handle attached to the segmented body and if you shake it you can hear a jingle coming from the head of the caterpillar. I think all of the different textures and bright colors make it a wonderful toy for any baby. Having the teether is a huge plus because then this toy is one that can grow with baby from newborn to growing teeth and even longer if your child so chooses. 



Our daughter has taken this toy around since I opened it for her. She is definitely a fan of this adorable caterpillar. And since the tail is floppy I can easily fold it over so that I can stick it in my purse. I love that I can stuff it into my purse and go. Makes traveling with our youngest easier since she can be quite the handful. Another thing I really like about this caterpillar is all the different colors on it. Our daughter has started to learn some colors and since she loves this toy so much I can use it to ask her what the different colors are. I also think this toy could be used for a young puppy. It has all the basic features that most dog toys have plus the teether could help out a puppy in need. I have found that both baby toys and dog toys have rattles, crinkles, water bottle parts and teethers on them. If our dog was a puppy this is something that I would get for her but she is an adult now. 



This cute caterpillar is definitely one toy that I would recommend. It can grow with baby, it is adorable, has bright colors, a teether, crinkled, a jingly bit, it is soft and had a fuzzy blue tail. Small enough to put in your bag and go. Our daughter takes it to bed and insists it comes with her when she wakes up. We got this cuties from Timberdoodle of course. It also comes with their Tiny Tots Kit which I would also recommend if you have a child that is not ready for preschool just yet. We have not be dissatisfied with any of our Timberdoodle kits so I imagine you all will love them, too. What cute baby toys do you have? Let me know in the comments below.

Review: Geoboards

A fun way to help kids get great hand-eye coordination isn’t with  Geoboards . I love that with these there are 4 boards included so you can use it with multiple students. The rubber bands are different colors and 2 different sizes. The pictures are fun, colorful and you get a bunch of them. My daughter really likes these. For some reason she thinks it’s so funny when the bands pop her. At first I just let her place the bands anywhere to get the idea of how to put them on. Then we started places them just on the white lines in the picture. She always wants to do more than one so I let her do as many pictures as she wants. I do wish there was a blanket picture so she could design her own things.

Tips & Tricks: Grading

When grading first thing you need to do is check your state laws on homeschool. Some states require you to keep record of your curriculum and and grading while some don’t. I do not have to keep any records or grading. Since I use Timberdoodle they have an awesome online scheduler that I use. It has all the curriculum that we use and in the check boxes I put the grades. At the end of each year I keep the scheduler pages so I have records. Below is how I grade things. I also do not show our daughter the grades or tell her them. I don’t want her to worry about getting a bad grade. When she’s in middle school and high school grades that’s when I’ll start letting her know about grade.  My grading system: Pre-K - 2 Grade: she will not see the grade E: excellent; no extra work needed; 100-90% S: satisfactory; give a little extra work; 89-80% N: needs improvement; give a lot of extra work; 79-0% 3 - 5 Grade: she will only see letter grade if she wants to know her grade A: 100-90%

Tips & Tricks: Class Schedule

How do you make a class schedule? When do you do which subjects? How long do you do a class? Does each day look the same? It is easy to make a homeschool schedule since you can school however you like. Since we use Timberdoodle we have access to their online schedule which over the years has been updated to be an outstanding way to schedule our subjects. If you do not use Timberdoodle I would suggest using Excel. If you know a website that allows you to create a schedule (for free) then let me know in the comments. The first thing I do make our schedule is make a list of all of our items and mark which ones I think will be challenging and which will be easy. Core subjects would be harder than things like STEM and thinking skills. Then I use that list to make another list on what day we will do each item. Making sure that not one day will be to hard or to easy. I like it to be pretty even as well as each day having about the same number of items. Some subjects we do everyday those are E
