Review: Pat-a-Cat First Nursery Rhymes

I like to read a lot of books to the girls. Especially, when kids are young I think it is important to have them listen to lots and lots books. Even if your kids are playing you can read aloud to then. That way they get to hear a ton of different stories and it is good for bonding with them. When our oldest was young I would read my books aloud because she would not understand what was going on anyway. We recently got this new book for our youngest daughter. It is called Pat-a-Cat First Nursery Rhymes and it has a whole bunch of rhymes. 24 to be exact. What is so cool about this book of nursery rhymes is that each rhyme has instructions on actions you can do while you read them. So, your baby can get active while you sing/read since they will probably want to copy you if they are old enough to do so. Our daughter is very into songs. Her favorite is Row, Row, Row Your Boat which is not in this book but she will sing it on her own. I am sure if we sing these enough she will start singing these songs as well. Of course if our oldest does them our youngest will do them as well. 



Some of these rhymes have you place your child on your lap and you bounce them or wobble them around. Our daughter loves this! I normally do this to keep her entertained while we are at gymnastics so now I incorporate the nursery rhymes. Other rhymes have little movements like wiggling your finger, clapping your hands or shaking your head. I love that it is little movements so that a young child can do them, too. Another great plus to this book which you may already know what I am going to say if you have read our previous reviews. This is a board book! I love board books for babies because they can not be easily torn apart like paper books. Since our daughter is a book tearer I prefer to only get board books for her. Another thing I like about Pat-a-Cake is that there were some nursery rhythms that both my husband and I had not heard of yet. It is always nice to read something new since a lot of baby books you have probably already read before or heard of before. 



I would definitely go check out this book. It is super cute, the drawings are all babies, it is interactive and a lot of fun for little ones. Our youngest is 21 months old now and loves doing songs so she loves when we get this book out. We got this book of nursery rhymes from Timberdoodle. It also comes with their Tiny Tots curriculum kit which I suggest even if you do not plan to homeschool. It would great to have for a day care, too. What cute books do you have for your little ones? Also featured in these photos are Play Together Caterpillar and Lil Dimpl.

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,...
