veggietales DVD

 

Veggietales were very popular when I was a child, and I am so happy to see that they are still popular among children today.

The Little House That Stood is a new DVD from Veggie tales that is ‘A Lesson in Making Good Choices’. Some of the verses that it teaches are Luke 10:27 and Matthew 7:24.

Larry builds with hay, Mr. Lunt builds with bricks, ut only Bob builds his houses on a firm foundation – following the wise plans from the “Master Builder’s Handbook!” Each of the pig has a good idea of what they want for their houses, but will it be good enough when the rain comes?

BuckleyLion

 

If you happen to be looking for the perfect gift for a toddler, I can pretty much promise you that any item from BuckleyBoo would be a perfect fit. We were lucky enough to be able to review BuckleyLion 17″. My 3 year old is in love with the Buckley Boo, as well as my 1 year old.

About the BuckleyBoo products:

The BuckleyBoo products grow with your children throughout their toddler age.

  • Stage 1: Visual Scanning & Matching-Your child first learns to match the bright ribbons on their BuckleyBoo animal.
  • Stage 2: Small Motor Problem Solving Cognitive Development-Your child really learns how to buckle, even though that can’t always unbuckle at this time. (Typically they play with mom and dad–while they buckle mom or dad unbuckles).
  • Stage 3: Advanced Problem Solving-By this time your child can both buckle and unbuckle all by themselves.

Reading books is one of our favorite family activities. Both of my children absolutely love reading books and picking them out. I was recently asked to review the StoryToys 3-D Interactive Pop-Up Books, and my children both absolutely love them.
