Toy of the week

Busy Farm includes all the animals on the farm- horse, cow, pig, sheep, duck and rabbit.  It also includes cards for children to match colors, match animals, sequencing, alphabet awareness and other skills.

It really should be called "Preschool in a Box!"  My daughter Rachel, almost 3, enjoys playing with the animals, sorting and matching by color.  Some of the harder cards in the set include matching the animal to the letter it begins with, which animal is bigger and what does each animal make (ham, milk, etc...)  This is a great toy to begin working with children on early math skills- counting, sequencing, addition and subtraction.

The website has more information on how this toy can increase your childs skills.  Be sure to check it out here.

Holiday Gift Sets

Discovery Toys is offering bundles this fall!  WOW!  Personally, I really like the Toddler and the Preschool bundles.  Great way to get your child great toys at a great price (around $14 a piece).  Or save some of the items as gifts for birthdays of friends. 

Hostess's can purchase the bundles at 1/2 price with a qualifying party.
