Review: Baby Gym Books

Our daughter loves loves loves singing. So, when I saw these books called Baby Gym by Child's Play I new I wanted to get them. You get a set of 2 board books. Each book has different rhymes in it that you sing to your baby. What makes this set of rhyme books so interesting is that each book has instructions on what to do with baby while you sing the rhymes. The first book is titled Touch and Tickle. This one I would suggest more for babies who are still doing tummy time. The book has you lay baby down and tickle them or make different motions on their back, hands, etc. This will help a young baby understand that they have hands, feet, a back, etc. The second book is titled Bounce and Jiggle. This book has instructions for holding baby on your lap and bouncing them, moving them from side to side, etc. I would suggest this for babies who can hold their heads up or toddlers. Both books can certainly be read/sung to any age baby or toddler. Our daughter is almost 2 and she loves these. 


What I really like about these are that they are board books so they are sturdy. Our daughter can not tear them apart like paper books. The size of these two rhyming books is actually a lot larger than I thought they would be. I find that this is nice because I have eye sight problems and it means the pictures can be much bigger. The artwork in these books is super cute, very colorful and bright. I really like books that have color to them because since our daughter is almost 2 she is starting to learn her colors and she is able to point them out in the books we read together. Our daughter really loves to point out every baby in these two books. A huge positive is that reading books to your child helps with bonding with them but since these two are interactive while you sing the rhymes it means even greater bonding. The book even give you some advice like eye contact with baby is key.



I would definitely recommend the Baby Gym set of books. They basically grow with baby, are cute, big, board books. The bonding you will get with your child will make you so happy trust me. Both you and your baby will have a lot of fun with these I know our daughter and I really enjoyed these. She actually brings these to me multiple times a day. Another book that is similar to these is Pat-a-Cake. I would suggesting getting both of these that way you can have fun rhyming, interactive books to use as your little one grows. Those baby moments go by so fast. Do you have any fun interactive books for your little ones? Any rhyming or song books you recommend? Let me know in the comments 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: 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.
