This is a delightful book to read aloud to an excited little one who is ready to start school!  Or one who has just begun, or is nervous about starting kindergarten.  The alphabet plays out in this to see, do, and experience school for the first time.  It is also filled with fun, interactive things that a kinder can do by themselves or with some help from a caregiver.  Like her other wonderful children's book this one will have a cherished place on your little one's shelf.  The illustrations by Joseph Cowman are also charming.  You can find her other books on Amazon too!

This Center is very interactive, offering several ways to provide little ones with hours of pretend play time that relates to real life Dr. checkups.

I bought this for my 11 YO niece for Christmas. The kit has a small, posable wooden mannequin, lots of pencils, a decent amount of various papers and lots of good techniques for drawing.

This kit definitately encourages kids to experiment. There are techniques for motion and still drawings. My niece is slightly ADHD and has a difficult time reading for long and following instructions. This set was good for her because she could read a little and then experiment a lot. Even though she didn't study the book like a lot of kids would have, she did pick up a few new things and had a lot of fun with it.

I was expecting the mannequin to be a little larger, it seemed small to me, but she thought it was great.

This is a fun kit for any budding artist.

Whether a child is in preschool or staying at home in preparation for kindergarten, Brain Quest's PreK workbook will prove a valuable and fun tool. The book starts helping kids learn both colors and letters together (by instructing them to color letters a certain color), it moves onto covering simple numbers, some basic phonics and very simple reading basics, shapes, and some basic science. I would expect that most kids would have a difficult time with some of the exercises. Even the most intelligent will be midly pushed and some late bloomers may be overwhelmed, but under the oversight of a patient teacher or parent, a child will emerge with improved critical thinking skills, knowledge of alphabets, colors, and shapes, and maybe even be able to read some very basic basic words using phonetic concepts.

This book is packed with lots of hours of fun for your older child. It has all kinds of puzzles that will require your child to really think. There are games, quizzes ,  mazes and of course puzzles. Your child will be required to look for similarities and differences and do some problem solving. There are several different kinds of mazes which will definitely require some careful thinking. The author(s) have included 200 Emoji stickers which are used to solve the puzzles. This is a very interesting and fun book of activities that I think your child will enjoy.

My two-year old took to this globe right away. The colors on the toy are bright, attention-grabbing, and engaging, and the activities he can do are really simple but fun.

When my son pushes the buttons, the toy plays music, talks to him in a different language, or tells him a fact about an animal. There are three different setting levels on the globe, and my son plays with all three. (The same is true for other Fisher Price toys we have. I've been really impressed, actually, with how many genuinely fun activities FP can cram into one toy.)

My son can also turn the globe on its axis and flip the pages in the plastic book attached to the base.

The sound quality of the toy is excellent. It isn't too whiney, tinny, or staticky. The sound comes out clear and is easy to understand. The voice sounds little-kiddish, but it isn't annoying. And the music is catchy but not soul-crushing.

Overall, we are happy with this globe. It's a unique toy and manages to introduce somewhat complex subjects (like geography and foreign languages) to little kids in a very fun and accessible way.

One of my newest favorite activity books for kids is Bumper Wipe Clean Activities by Juliet David. This handy little book is a collection of mazes, hidden objects, letter and number writing practice, dot to dot, matching pairs and much much more.

The illustrations by Marie Allen are friendly, colorful and full of whimsy! Each bright page attracts a young reader's attention, yet the book is presented with simple enough instructions that an older toddler or preschooler can easily enjoy the activities. And the best part is - it's a dry-erase book, so the drawings can be erased and the book used over and over again!

One dry-erase pen is included with the book, but don't feel limited to just one color. Most good quality felt-tip pens and crayons can be used with no problem! The Bible stories presented start with the Old Testament and cover everything from Creation to Moses to Naaman to Jonah. New Testament stories included are the birth of Jesus, Jesus' parables and miracles, and Zacchaeus.

The 67 pages of activities contained in this little volume make it a great book to turn to when you need something to keep a little one entertained for awhile. I could see it as a great resource to use while traveling or maybe during church while a child is learning how to sit through a service. My two and a half year old is a little young to understand most of the activities in this book, but the beauty of the pages being reusable is that he can grow into them!

Disclosure: I was sent a sample copy of this book to review from Kregel Publications. All views expressed are my own.

My son really enjoys this book. The pictures are very engaging and the questions are appropriately difficult (but not too difficult). I really like that there are fun little activities throughout the book, including fun little scenes with included stickers. I also really like that I can wipe the pages clean and use it again... especially since I have three kids!

There are two minor things that I really wish the book had, to make my life easier: (1)  letters next to the answer bubbles, so that a child knows the first answer choice is "A," and (2)  with regard to the answer key, I think it would be nice to have short explanations for some of the more difficult questions. Besides those minor things though, this truly is a great book to help your child practice for any gifted and talented test.

This is a wonderful toy and kids can learn and be creative and have fun all at the same time.

This book is not only great interactive fun, it can be used as an engaging learning tool as well.  Although it appears to be a book that would interest younger children, I have used it in my fourth and fifth grade classes to introduce letter writing to fictional characters.  It's uses are endless and it make a wonderful gift!!

It's real good with stories, examples, and hands-on activities.

The Zealous Zebecs book provides a fun and unique twist on how to engage readers of different levels. My son who is 11 enjoyed reading the more advanced parts of the story to his younger sister. They had fun looking for the letters together, which even for an 11 year old wasn't always easy! I absolutely love how the focus on each page is on one letter, while teaching young readers through repetition. Having the alphabet go in reverse direction makes even the older more advanced readers have to pause and think about what letter will be next on the following page. The vibrant pictures and adventurous story captures the reader's attention while engaging them in a fun interactive learning experience!

The most important thing for young children when starting to learn sounds, letters, pre-reading skills, and eventually reading (in my opinion :) ), is that it be FUN!  Otherwise you're just trying to force the concepts into them, and oftentimes they don't gain a love for learning that they could.  This book is an excellent blend of fun and engagement so that kids are excited to open it up and go through it multiple times, while efficiently teaching the letter sounds and blends.  Because of this, the sounds of letters and blends and the reading skills introduced are firmly and quickly grasped and incorporated by the child.  My 4-year-old loves this book and has a great time doing the hand motions with me.  Fantastic book.

So many activities, it's almost overwhelming. But that's a good thing! My 3 year old loves the wipe away books. And I love it because it's fostering the counting and abcs as well as the fine motor skills. Were not quite ready for "tying" shoes but he loves putting the string through the holes. The "connect the dots" seem to be his favorite and I've noticed, in the 2 weeks that he's had it, he's freehand writing his letters and numbers. Its perfect for take alongs, no markers in the car though ;) and with the multiple books, he doesn't get bored quick. Because of this set, he's actually taken a new approach with "taking care" of his books. Because they are so fun for him, he makes sure to put them away and keep the market safe with it's cap. I'm glad I bought this. Even the activity pages are awesome! We're not quite ready for them but for one on one quiet play, it's going to be great fun for him, I already know. The paper isn't flimsy so it won't get ruined the first time he "waves it around" and the stencils are going to be a great way to introduce him to more diverse stencils soon. This is a great package and it's going to be around for a long time.

Encourages curiosity, a smart trait to develop in children.

The activities are fun and full of good content. No child is the same as another so the level of each item may not match your child's abilities perfectly. I just purchase the next level up at the same time and pick and choose what works for us at the time.
