With back to school upon us, we want our kids to be as ready as they can be. We also want them to have as much fun as they can both in and out of school. Learning can be fun, and is easily incorporated into play. Having mom and dad around to share learning time and help and encourage children grow will let your children thrive and feel confidant as they had back to school this year.
ALEX toys, favorites of ours, make going back to school fun and easy. Check out some of the awesome items they have for your little ones!
ALEX TOYS Ready, Set, Write by ALEX BRANDS
We love this! We took it with us on a recent road trip to Maine and Canada, and my son used it in the car and in restaurants. “Learn to write A,B,C’s and numbers with ease! This spiral-bound pad contains 19 pages of numbers and letters that wipe away for lots of practicing.” It is perfect for practicing your letters and getting to know them, or for older children like my son, getting better with handwriting (which, like his mother, is usually a mess).
Ready, Set, Write costs $13.95 on the ALEX site, and is well worth it. It can be used over and over again, as well as passed on to younger siblings. It is aimed at kids aged 3 and up, but can be used by younger if they can grip the pen. The one thing I would watch for is that the pen does stain both hands and clothing if you are not careful.
ALEX TOYS Ready, Set, Tell Time by ALEX BRANDS
My son is not the best at telling time on any sort of clock or watch- it is a skill we are working on. This kit is aimed at children 4 and up, but again can be used with younger children as well as older. I would have for sure used it for circle time when I was teaching Pre-K, and my son is getting use out of it as well. It sells for $18.95 on the ALEX website, and comes with more then just a clock face.
“It’s about time! Young children will learn how to tell time with this learning activity set. It includes a clock with movable hands, matching cards, a 12-piece puzzle and plan-my-day activity cards. What time do you get up in the morning? Can you find 11:00? An easy learning guide is included for parents to help children learn about time and number recognition.”
So far, my son likes this set quite a lot. He is still struggling with telling time, but he likes working with the clock and the monkey cards. The different colors for the big hand and small hand help, and they coordinate with the words on the cards which is a nice touch.
ALEX TOYS My First Mosaic by ALEX BRANDS
With more and more schools cutting out classes like art, it is vital that you take them up at home with the kids. Children who are exposed to art are proven to have more confidence, creativity, have more empathy, be overall more intelligent, and do better in other subjects. Why not? The My First Mosaic kit is quite a lot of fun, and only $11.95. Aimed at children aged 3 and up, older children will find it fun as well.
“Use easy to peel triangle and square mosaic stickers to make these beautiful pictures: bus, butterfly, city, dinosaur, fish. Hundreds of stickers included to make these 5 mosaics using pre-printed picture boards. Be creative and have fun!”
My son loved this kit, and we plan to “step it up” and try a more challenging mosaic next with tiles and clay- he was inspired and feels creative. The kit is so much fun and easy to use, and children feel rewarded when a “picture” emerges from the stickers.
