A computer game your kids (and you) will love
January 21st, 2008
Keep your little one engaged as you boost his vocabulary with Starfall's interactive ABC computer game. Children as young as eight months will be mesmerized by the sights and sounds of the click and learn alphabet that helps them learn basic words and builds phonetic awareness. As they age, the game grows with them with more advanced learn-to-read programs.Stephen Schutz, a publisher and artist with a PhD in physics, created the program because of his own struggle learning to read. "I wanted a program that would be available online to all children who are learning to read in English," says Dr. Schutz. Starfall.com was recognized as one of "five internet sites too good to miss" by The Reading Teacher and was the highest rated product recognized by Children's Software & New Media Review in its Early Elementary category. Best of all, it passed the baby test–both our young sons are hooked!
To play along with your infant or toddler, go to starfall.com and click on the ABCs.
Crayons for babies
December 12th, 2007
Tap into your baby’s inner Picasso with crayons designed especially for little hands. Crayola has created a new line of products for babies one year and older, including “TaDoodles Washable Crayon Buddies,” which are egg-shaped characters containing non-toxic, washable crayons that twist up when the tip wears down. The “buddies” are easy to grasp, prevent the crayon from breaking and upright themselves automatically when tipped over.
