Charlie has been begging to review Kidz Gear Headset

So before I begin my work today I wanted to surprise Charlie and write my review for Kidz Gear Headset as it will make my life easier and more pleasent. So before I share my thoughts with you I would like to let you know I was sent Kidz Gear Headset to try out for free, In exchange for this review. But the thoughts in the review are all mine and mine alone.

Once they arrived Charlie opened the box and took them out. I asked him what he thought of the box they arrived in and Charlie says he like the logo on the box as it pops. Plus the blue is  a pretty color. The little boy is cute and someone he would like to know.


I then sat down with Charlie and we read the front of the box. He asked me what "Ideal for Education" meant and once I explained it to Charlie. He said that is great. May I take them to school to show my new teacher so I knew it was a huge hit with him. I told him once school started and we meet his teacher we would ask. Which satisfied him.

Then we turned the box around and discussed the different ways he could use the headphones. Which he liked knowing. Charlies favorite way is in the car and with the TV. Although Charlie did ask me if he could use them with his Stereo and I assured him he could.

I asked Charlie if he thought his friends would like the Headset and he said yes, they would. As well as it would make a nice present for them. Plus he said they would be nice to give to his dad to use at work.

Boy oh Boy I take beautiful pictures. But it is hard to catch Charlie and keep him still to take them at all. So at least you can see a little bit of him. Plus the picture below is better. You can at least see his face. Now if he would smile I would be all set.




So all in all Charlie gives his HeadSet from Kidz Gear 2 Thumbs up which is the best in Charlies book. Once he tried them on I asked how they fit and he said perfectly. I also asked if they was comfortable and he said yes. I liked how well made they are. As did David. Plus David liked how easy they are to use as Charlie will be able to do it by himself.

So all in all the HeadSet from Kidz Gear is a huge success and something I plan on purchasing more of. As I love all the different colors they come in. Plus there is other items I would like to see about getting Charlie.

So if you have not heard of Kidz Gear check them out at: http://www.gearforkidz.com/shop2.html If you have used them let me know what you think of them. Or if you have not and you visit the site let me know what you found you would like to try out. If it is the HeadSet which color would you get and why?

Charlie was sent the Blue set and I would like the pink or purple set and my sister would like the green set she says. As for David he says if they would work for him he would like to have a pair of black ones. Which did not surprise me as everything he has he wants it in black. But not me as I am not a black person. Except in the clothes I wear. As I only wear black paints or shorts.

Charlie and I are are practicing for school

Charlie and I talked last night before we headed to bed after watching Speed Racer about the things we could do today only for me to wake up to it raining which means we may have to change our plans. But that is OK. As I knew I had a ace up my sleeve as I could go into my office and get out a new school item I was sent for Charlie from Alex Toys. It is called Ready Set School. I was so glad when it arrived and I saw all that was inside it as I knew it would help us with his school work and also make learning fun.

Before I begin my review though I would like to let you know that even though I was sent Ready Set, School for a review that the thoughts in the review where all mine and mine alone.



Inside the box it is packed full of things I did not even think about teaching Charlie. Like a shoe that teaches him to tie. Like so many parents if he wears shoes that tie I just do it for him instead of taking the time to teach him. Or when we buy shoes I either pick ones up that has Velcro or ones that just slip on. So this past week Charlie and I have been getting the shoe out and practicing this way he will know how to tie before he starts to school.  Even David has set down and showed Charlie how and taught him a song to sing which would help him learn to tie the shoes which is nice as he does not help him much with these types of things.

With me trying to teach Charlie his ABC's before he gets into school this year I was excited to see that Ready Set, School came with a ABC book that he can write on and wipe off. He has been good about getting it out when I work and working beside me. This has cut down on his bothering me which allows me to get more down. Plus it is helping prepare him for school by getting him to sit still.

Charlie knows all his numbers so with the 123 book he has been teaching our cats and dogs to count. Plus he has been showing his dad his numbers so David knows how to count. It is so cute as know he goes around telling me how many things are and he is also learning to add and subtract. By him learning this I know he is going to be ready for school.

Charlie already knew all his colors and shapes but there was a book in there on it and it has helped us as I keep asking him what things are when we are out and about as I do not want him to forget once he gets into school. Plus we take the book out and look for the colors inside it. He has even showed his sister Leslie the book and ready it to her. It has helped bring them closer together.

The other day I was busy and there is a Dot to Dot book inside the kit and I had not ever had Charlie do them as I was not sure he would understand how but he got the book out on his own and did it and then brought it to me to show me. I was so surprised as it was exactly right and he did not miss any numbers at all.

When we went into the Dollar Store the other day he even picked out a Dot to Dot book which he would not have done if we had not gotten this kit.

Inside the kit is everything you need to work on it. As it had crayons, markers scissors and scissors is something we needed as I need to practice his cutting with him and this will give him and David something to do together while I work.

This is not all that comes in the kit as it also has some stickers in it and stencils and so as you can see there is so much to do that your child would not get bored at all.

Next summer when Charlie goes up to my moms I will be packing it all to take with him as it will give them something to do together and keep him from being bored.

I think these would make wonderful items for the teachers on your list.

I can not wait to share the website with David's mom as well as mine as there is so much on it they can get for Charlie and it will be just like a toy only much better as they are learning items.

Bring the fun of getting ready for preschool home with Ready, Set, School! There are dozens of fun pre-school activities in one box. Learn shapes with stickers, a wipe away ABC and 123 books, a Tie My Shoe lacing card with instructions, scissors and stackable finger crayons.

A wonderful way to engage little ones preparing for pre-school. For older children, it's fun to continue the pre-school learning fun at home.

The next item I would like to get for Charlie would be the Ready set, Cut as this is something Charlie does not know how to do.

The Importance of Education - Guest post by Ella Johnson

We as parent know that Education is a fundamental human right. Our children and every child in the world are entitled to it. Education is not only important but critical to our children’s development as individuals. Development leads to a successful future and we must ensure that our children must have a quality education. If the child doesn’t have the basic of comprehension in reading, it can slow down or hinder his or hers’ learning in all subjects. Reading is the fundamental skill of all learning.

It is never too soon to start your child on the path to reading. That is why Memorable Children Books & Gifts is committed to offering basic tools like Giggles Computer Funtime for Babies ages 6 – 36 months. Babies learn about and play with shapes, colors, animals, letters, numbers and more! All in different fun-filled and uniquely baby friendly environments – all they have to do is touch any key on the keyboard! Each title includes 14 unique key-tapping activities and over 50 wonderful songs!

We like to put our children in front of the television to watch their favorite shows like Disney Princess, Cars, Winnie the Pooh, Elmo and Friends, Dora the Explorer and many more. So why not read to them their favorite shows by personalizing a book with their name in it to make reading more fun for the child.

According to the U.S Department of Education, “Research shows that children who read well in the early grades are far more successful in later years; and those who fall behind often stay behind when it comes to academic achievement. Reading opens the door to learning about math, history, science, literature, geography and much more. Thus, young, capable readers can succeed in these subjects, take advantage of other opportunities (such as reading for pleasure) and develop confidence in their own abilities. On the other hand, those students who cannot read well are much more likely to drop out of school and be limited to low-paying jobs throughout their lives. Reading is undeniably critical to success in today's society.”

Reading to children is crucial and parents should find time to read with their children instead of leaving it to the kid’s teachers. Don’t forget that reading out loud exposes children to proper grammar and phrasing. It helps to enhance the development of their spoken language skills and their ability to express themselves verbally.
