One of my goals this year is for the kids to understand state geography a little better than before. To that end, we requested Draw the USA: an Easy Step by Step Approach by Kristen J Draeger from Timberdoodle. They gave us the hook up in exchange for this review. What is Draw the USA?…
If you’re looking for an engaging, beautifully-illustrated book to read with your preschooler, look no further than Wimmelbooks. The vivid and detailed pictures of this German series hold stories just waiting to be discovered by little ones. I received My Big Wimmelbook: Firetrucks from Timberdoodle in exchange for this review. We love it so much,…
Hello, hello. It’s been a while since I popped by for an update. Hope Black Friday has been treating you well. We have a slew of new materials on the way; I cannot wait to share all about them in the next week. In the meantime though, I want to tell you about a fantastic…
Boo! Getting close to Halloween. Did I spook you? Probably not. How about a treat then? Timberdoodle asked us to review Bunny Peek-a-Boo, a clever hide and seek activity, in exchange for this review. Spoiler: we loved it! What is it? A fun spatial orientation game for little ones. Pieces consist of just a couple…
We are trying something new. Will is 22 months old today, and we’ve been doing a little formal Montessori work here and there: practicing unrolling (and remembering) our work mat, sensitizing fingertips in warm water, grasping, spooning and pouring transfer work between bowls. He’s still really young for too much primary work, but I’m anxious,…
Sing with me: Do you want to build a… …white house? It isn’t just any white house… Ok bye. We built a tiny replica of the White House thanks to this cool set from Timberdoodle. That’s right it’s time for another Timberdoodle product review. I received this item free of charge in exchange for my…
To be blunt, as I generally am, I’m not a touchy-feely type of person. I’d consider myself stoic, and I’m happy with that assessment. Call me out of touch with my feelings, but I’d rather say, “Suck it up Buttercup” than emote warm fuzzies. I like to think this serves my family really well though….
Colorku, the color Sudoku puzzle, is great in theory. Terrible in execution. Timberdoodle sends us a ton of great items to review, and we’ve loved nearly everything, but this was a total miss for our family. My candid review follows. If you’ve played Sudoku, where numbers 1-9 must be contained in each row, column and…
Before we got our hands on The Adventures of Robin Hood (as retold by Russell Punter and illustrated by Matteo Pincelli) from Timberdoodle to review, I had never pursued graphic readers for my kids. Now we are a house obsessed with them. In a matter of months. So let this be your fair warning: this…
How’s this for a cute Thanksgiving Day activity? Plus-Plus Mini Maker sets are little plus sign looking pieces (they come in bigger sizes too) that interlock to make, well, whatever you want to create. Timberdoodle sent us this cute Turkey set in exchange for a review.
