Review and #Giveaway from Educational Insights- not to be missed for parents and teachers :)

Disclosure: In any review for a product or service, products or compensation may have been provided to me to help facilitate my review. All opinions are my own and honest. I am disclosing this in accordance with FTC Guidelines. Please see “Disclose” and "Terms of Use" tabs for more information.

As a Pre-K teacher, there are some things I just take real pleasure in reviewing and writing up. Educational Insights is such a great company, making great (and fun!) educational toys and games, that I own more of their products then I could ever review. So lets start with some of their most fabulous and fun items, that have been delighting kids for some time, and now have been giving my Pre-K kids some educational enjoyment 🙂

Inside Out ™ Lenticular Human Body Poster
A seriously awesome poster for any science fan (I have one on my door in my room)! Don’t look away! A magical way to present the carious layers of the human body, the Lenticular Human Body Poster shifts from two kids to their skeletal systems, muscular systems, and organs. You won’t believe your eyes! Grades 1+/Ages 6+

Our Human Body week is not here yet- but you can be sure I will be bringing this in with me!  

Sneaky, Snacky Squirrel Game
Your forest friends are hungry and they need your help! Spin the spinner, squeeze the matching colored acorn with your Squirrel Squeezers, and place it into your log. Be the first to your log with delicious acorns and you win! You could also spin “pick an acorn,” “steal an acorn,” or “lose an acorn,” so be strategic, little squirrel!
 The kids had a great time with this game- they still are not bored with it, and the tweezers improve dexterity.  The rules are easy to explain and implement (and to understand!) so the kids can have fun and n ot be frustrated.

The perfect first microscope! Great for introducing scientific observation.
·  Features a dial children can turn to listen to fun facts about what they’re seeing on the slides
·  Challenges children to remember what they’ve learned in an electronic quiz game
·  Includes 12 prepared slides of common insects
·  Magnifies 5x and provides a light for easy, close-up viewing
·  Requires 3 C batteries, not included

Ages 5+/ Grades K+

The kids for realsies love this!   They can’t get enough, and I had to create a schedule for them to all get turns without driving me insane, LOL.  WOW is bug week going to be great! 

Playfoam

The ONLY no-mess creativity substance for preschoolers!

Preschoolers are free to express their creativity — with no mess to clean up afterward! Just squish up the Playfoam®, shape it however you like, squash it back down, and start all over again. Playfoam® never dries out so the creativity never ends — and the secret no-stick formula means you can take it anywhere for creative fun on the go!

It does not dry out, no matter how long you leave it uncovered someplace.  I am going on nearly a month uncovered in the stockroom at the Pre-K- and it is still just fine.  Side note?  My son ate some- and I can tell you for sure it’s non-toxic.  Ugh.  First thing he ever ate that WASN’T food, LOL.

Educational Insights is currently giving away $100 EducationalInsights.com gift cards to one lucky person every weekday.   The offer is featured on our website (www.educationalinsights.com) and on our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/educationalinsights) under the “WIN!” tab.
