We’ve been fervently studying animal classification around here, and the Tree of Life material from Waseca Biomes has quickly become a favorite hands-on exploration; it’s been used many times over the last couple of weeks. The material, a tree puzzle, is intended for advanced learners — and between you and me, I have no idea…
Timberdoodle is a homeschool curriculum company we love very much. Sometimes they give us products to review, and this is one of them. All reviews are 100% my opinion and completely honest! I love connecting the dots between Montessori materials and other mainstream curriculums. Read on to see how the Kumon Sticker Science book relates to…
I’ve got a little, cautionary story for you. A couple of years back, my daughter’s occupational therapist witnessed my pen grip and about keeled over. Apparently I’ve been writing incorrectly for a very long time. “Doesn’t that hurt your hand?” she asked. “Well no,” I replied. “Doesn’t your hand get tired?” “Not that I’ve ever…
We played with such a cool game this week: Laser Maze Jr. This single-player game was actually enjoyed by both my five and seven-year-olds collaboratively; the goal is to solve a light maze by guiding a laser light beam around rocks, through a splitter or bounced off of mirrors to light up a rocket ship…
This is a product review of the game Little Red Riding Hood offered by Timberdoodle. We love Timberdoodle and rave about them so much that sometimes we get products for cheap or free to review. All opinions are my own. Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf are off to Grandma’s house each…
This is a product review of the MiniLuk offered by Timberdoodle. We love Timberdoodle and rave about them so much that sometimes we get products for cheap or free to review. All opinions are my own — and this one is one worth checking out if you’ve not seen the MiniLuk before. We spend a…
I vlogged my latest review for Timberdoodle: Itty Bitty Phonics Readers. Cute as a button with their own carrying case. Though we love these adorable phonics readers, they are being discontinued to make room for some new products. The folks at Timberdoodle love them too, but there’s just no room for everything they want to…
Time for a Timberdoodle review! Actually I’m months behind for a new Timberdoodle review, so I’ve got like 5 or 6 in the upcoming weeks. Timberdoodle, aside from being a fun word to say, is a hands-on homeschooling curriculum that we’ve enjoyed supplementing (mainly our doctor appointments and car rides) with on our homeschooling journey….
Josie, our nine-year-old with 22q Deletion Syndrome (plug that #22qawareness, what what) had a surgery last week on her airway to help improve her speech. Her speech has never been intelligible; we’ve worked with AAC devices and learned a bit of ASL. However, in a last Hail-Mary-rollercoaster attempt that took most of 2017, we persuaded…
My reluctant reader, my little artist, my highly-distractible, seven-year-old girl-child fell in love with I Can Doodle Rhymes by Travis Foster. With it she worked on her handwriting, decoding and doodling for a solid two hours. Then my nine-year-old with dyslexia caught wind of her excitement and wanted to try too. After a quick sibling argument over…
