Review: Faces Puzzle

Puzzles are fun for everyone from kids to adults. We got these cute animals puzzles called On-The-Go Puzzles Halves Faces. There are 8 different animal puzzles altogether. They are a great size for babies to hold so they will be a great tool to help with hand and eye coordination. The puzzles are done in a very simple jigsaw style with 1 notch for the child to put together. I think this better than the baby puzzles that just have flat sides because then the child actually gets to put something together. They will get a sense of accomplishment and it helps develop much needed skills. Now the box says it is for ages 15 months and up my daughter is 21 months and she does not quite get the concept yet that she has to pick up one of the piece to fit them together. Right now she just tries to slide them and push them together. She does get very frustrated that she can not put them together. She also does not realize that one piece is supposed to go with a specific piece. Our oldest did not get how to put jigsaw puzzles together when she was this age either so I am not worried about it. 



I like items that I can use use for multiple things so I came up with ways you can use these puzzles for other things. You could have your child say what animal they are making, the sound the animal makes, where the animal live and what the animal eats. That way they are also learning about different animals. Since our youngest does not get the putting them together right now I have her tell me what animal it is. Or since she has started to pick up on colors I ask her what the colors are or have her find the colors herself. Another thing I like about these on-the-go puzzles is that they are not sharp. They have nice rounded edges so baby can not get hurt when they grab the pieces. A downside would be that they say on-the-go but I do not really see these as a car item unless you have one of those car desk things. 



I think though if you wanted you could put them in your bag and let your child play with them at the doctors or something. So the positives I have found are these are cute, a great size, colorful and fun. Negatives; I do not really think these would make a good on-the-go game. I am always on the look out for cute fun items to add to our school collection. What do you have?

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,...
