Today I would like to share with you 3 new toys Charlie and I have gotten from Educational Insights. You see as a mom who is struggling to teach her son his numbers and ABC's as he may go to school this year I always look for toys that will teach him.
So when I was offered the chance to try out the Hot Dots Jr sets and there pen from Educational Insights I knew I wanted to as it can help Charlie learn and it is something he can do on his own.
Charlie loves to pull his chair up next to me while I am working and ask to do his schoolwork which is nice. He reaches into his desk chair and pulls out the hot dots and sites starts to work.
Before I know it I have stopped my work to watch him but you know what that is OK as I work from home and I am able to do that.
There is 2 pens you can pick from Educational Insights that go with the Hot Dot series there is a dog and a cat. I picked the dog for Charlie but there is days when he has friends over and they both would like to work with the Hot Dots and so I am going to order the cat so he has it as well. Plus I can use it when they are not.
The first set I got from Educational Insight is the Beginning Science set. I like that there is 26 cards which gives him 72 activities as it keeps him busy. Knowing that it is for 3 to 6 years old is nice as this means Charlie has 2 1/2 more years to use it.
One of my favorite things is that the cards fit in a sturdy case so they will not get lost and they will not get messed up. Plus it is easy to take them with us.
Once Charlie starts school I am going to see if his teacher has heard of Educational Insights and show her the kits if she hast not as I think all schools should use these.
The second set I received was the ABC's and they have helped a lost with getting Charlie to learn his ABC's. Before I got them I was using books and that was OK but he would lose interest and I would get frustrated since the pen wiggles and lights up and it tells him if he is right or wrong he is more apt to sit and do his letters. I have noticed since we have started to use it that he now knows his ABC's which is great as I was starting to think he would not learn them before he went to school and that would have been horrible.
The third item I have gotten from Educational Insights is there pen that goes with the Hot Dot sets. I picked the dog for Charlie as he has a dog of his own. His name is Ace and Charlie likes asking for him by name. He will climb up in his dads recliner with Lucy his puppy and ask me for his desk and Ace and one of the Hot Dot sets and site and do his work. He says "Mommy I need to work now". I like hearing Ace tell Charlie he is right and that when he is wrong Charlie does not get upset he just try's again as he does not want to upset Ace he says.
If you have never checked out Educational Insights Please do. As this is not the only two Hot Dot sets there is several more and I can tell you I plan on getting them all for Charlie for Christmas.
