The Shapes and Color DVD is all about learning shapes and colors and our 16 month old twins are just captivated by this video. They love seeing the bright colors and once in a while when you ask them where the square is they will use their tiny little pointing finger to point out the correct shape. The video names the shapes as they show them so the twins can really learn.. some other similar videos I’ve tested out don’t seem to do this and I often wonder how kids can learn if the name and the shape or number don’t match up. I was quite impress with the Brainy Baby DVD.. and I love that the narrator describes each shape and color very clearly.

The Laugh and Learn DVD starts out with babies wearing silly masks and making funny faces, which our twins tried to mimic.. it was so cute! Then it goes on to colors, shapes, matching, guessing game, alphabets and numbers. It was a longer DVD but I just let it play and the twins would watch for a while then do their own thing and then come back to the TV when something caught their attention. The twins seemed to really enjoy this video, much more than any video we have showed them. They love dancing and laughing at the funny faces so it really keeps them entertained for longer than I thought it would.

I’m definitely a big fan of the Brainy Baby DVDs so far. I’ve told everyone we want anything Brainy Baby for them for Christmas. I would definitely recommend it for anyone who has a little one.

Included is a football snap tee with a snap pedal that has two positions: short snaps for passing and long snaps for punting, two soft foam footballs and two orange makers that you use to either mark a target or set a distance goal for kicks.

There’s no set up involved whatsoever, besides the markers, so it’s ready to go right out of the box. Once you’re all set up and ready to use the trainer you simply set the football in the cradle and choose your launch mode. When you’re ready to launch the football just step on the yellow pedal and after a short delay your football launches into the air to be caught.

The Snap, Pass & Punt Football Trainer from Little Tikes is recommended for ages 2-6 years and retails for $29.99 at retails nationwide.

The iHome iH15 features 4 speakers, one on each side of the station. Your iPod sits on top of the stations in the iPod slot. It’s a fairly simplistic machine but still very fun because of the color changing feature. You can choose your own color for the speaker system or you can have it cycle through all seven of the rainbow colored options. The sound quality was much like we experienced with other iHome products.. very good.

It would be very cool if a new version of the iH15 came out soon with maybe some added features like a clock or remote control.. but this version is still very cool!

The iHome iH15 retails for only $59  and is nifty for any iPod owner. Keep this one your list for gift ideas for the kiddos, you won’t regret it!

Teach My Toddler is the award-winning all-in-one learning system created specifically for toddlers. The kit contains 17 coordinated teaching tools to help toddlers master the basics. It takes 20 minutes a day to teach your toddler the alphabet, numbers, shapes and colors so it’s perfect for busy moms as well!

Teach My Baby is the 1st all-in-one learning system for babies. The kit is divided into 4 sections; First Words, First Numbers, Self and Sound & Touch with each section containing coordinated teaching tools that encourage natural repetition. The kit has an assortment of everything necessary for fun, educational play; nesting blocks, finger puppets, books, textured & mirrored flashcards, a story board, one & two piece puzzles and more.

My twins are 14 months old and right now we’re mastering the Teach My Baby kit and honestly, I’ve noticed quite a difference in their speaking already. They’re more able to speak words clearly and we’re learning to say numbers.

We have dabbled into the toddler kit as well but I think we need to hold off on that just a little longer until my twins can fully comprehend the tools and master the Teach My Baby kit.

The only thing my twins didn’t like was the finger puppets! They had a great time with everything else but wanted nothing to do with the finger puppets.

Teach My Toddler and Teach My Baby are both available across the USA at www.toysrus.com and at www.teach-my.com

The Good Nite Lite is a patent pending, behavioral modification device designed to promote a child’s ability to get the rest that is critical for healthy development. We were recently sent a free Good Nite Lite to test out and share our experiences with our readers.

More info from GoodNiteLight.com

“If a child is in the habit of waking up at a certain time, they will tend to continue this regular pattern until it is reset. Unfortunately, if the established pattern is to wake up too early, the result is a that a child will become active on their own schedule which interferes with their own healthy sleep pattern and can be a disruptive influence to the entire household particularly Mom and Dad! It can be extremely difficult to modify this pattern without a visual cue that can be easily understood by even very young children. The Good Nite Lite provides exactly this behavioral cue with its easily distinguished display of the Moon, meaning, “time to rest” and Sun display meaning “time to get up!”.

Rest is one of the most important requirements for development and learning and a well-rested child is normally happier and better behaved than those that may be sleep deprived. To encourage the appropriate sleep pattern, the Good Nite Lite can gradually be set to longer and longer sleep periods until the child is getting the full nights rest required.”

The Review:

Setting up the Good Nite Lite is pretty easy.. it’s basic and the comes with an instruction manual for parents like me who just need instructions to be sure everything is done correctly. I did have to rearrange a little because the Good Nite Lite took up an entire outlet, but that wasn’t too hard. It took some creativity on my part but I got the job done quickly!

The back of the night light includes the plug so you can plug it in to an outlet, a battery compartment, and an on/off switch. There is also an LCD screen, set, mode and select buttons that allow you to set the current time, bed time, and wake up time.

Now, once you have the set the times to preferences it should work like this.. when it’s the time you’ve set to wake up.. the sun part of the lite will shine..

and when it’s bedtime the moon part will glow. (It’s a really bright blue for a few minutes but then dims downs to a lesser brightness and serves as a night light for your child as well)

Another great thing about this is that during the daytime, the lite will shut off to preserve energy and you don’t have to reset it each night.

Retailing at $34.99 it may be considered little pricey but to me it’s worth it if it works with your child and everyone gets a little extra sleep at night!

Like the Nancy Drew Resorting to Danger PC Game you play as Nancy Drew to find clues and evidence to solve the case. With Warnings at Waverly Academy you’re undercover at an elite all-girls boarding school to and your mission is to discover the culprit behind threatening notes and dangerous accidents that seem to be targeted towards the academy’s valedictorian candidates.

It’s kind of cool because you actually get to snoop through dorm rooms and use your cell phone to take pictures of the evidence you find… you’re also able to help other girls with their projects and navigate the social scene. One of my favorite parts of the game is that you are able to play air hockey in the student lounge or even run the school snackbar if you want.

There are two difficulty settings on the game (Jr. or Sr. Detective) so whether your a novice or an expert to the detective field you’ll enjoy playing the game. Another cool feature is that if you make a mistake in the game and mess something up on your journey, you don’t have to start all over like some games. With Warning at Waverly Academy you just restart at the place before the fatal mistake.

Overview: I think this is a fun game, especially for girls. Gameplay is easy and so far this is probably my favorite Nancy Drew game.

The game is available in retail stores nationwide for $19.99 or you you can also download it directly from HerInteractive.com.

I remember many times coming down the stairs in a bit of a hurry and slipping and falling on my keister.. boy does that hurt! To solve this problem and keep my feet nice and warm I have my GRiPPiES! They were kind enough to send a sample for me to check out and I love them!

GRiPPiES are really easy to apply to any sock, you just place them on the soles of the socks, cover with an a cloth and then press with a hot iron for about a minute and let them cool. Once cooled.. you’re off an running and there will be no more slipping on those non carpeted floors! Now if you’re not comfortable with ironing them on, they do offer a stick on style so all you have to do is stick them to the bottoms of the socks.

GRiPPiES is the no-slip solution for tights, socks and gloves! GRiPPiES offers two lines of products: adhesive and iron on shapes in bears, beans and stars to stick or iron onto your “little ones” socks and No-Slip Run Resistant tights with the GRiPPies already applied to the soles.

The one thing I worried about was how well the GRiPPies would stay on after being washed a few times but I’m happy to report that after 3 washes the adhesive is still as strong as ever.. and that’s pretty cool!

Started by two mompreneurs, Corrie Wilder and Yelena Mogelefsky, GRiPPiES was started after these two moms put their heads together and realized a need in the market for non-slip socks and tights for their children. “We couldn’t find a product made specifically to make regular tights and socks non-skid in the marketplace. Unwilling to accept this as a final answer, we decided to make it ourselves!”

GRiPPiES are available in Target stores nationwide as well as online at grippiesonline.com. They also make a great gift or stocking stuffer for your children! Click the coupon below and print for a FREE pack of GRiPPiES!

With the iPlay’n Learn iPhone application flash cards are used to introduce letters, shapes, and colors to the children while fun quizzes help make learning into a game of identifying specific letters, colors and shapes. The tracing aspect encourages children to use their finger to draw letters and numbers.

As an adult I was sort enjoying the game so I know kids will enjoy it as well. I also love the fact that this app is very interactive with the child. Every screen has audio messages which are spoken by a clear voice that sounds like a child’s voice. The interface is extremely easy to use and also includes fun graphics as awards.

The iPlay’n Learn application is available for download on the iPhone or iPod Touch for a limited-time introductory price of $0.99. Customers can purchase it from the iTunes store at http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=331814911&mt=8

Each Buff is made with a breathable seam-free design and from moisture wicking microfiber making it great for all seasons and activities. On the Buff website you can find many different ways to use and wear the Buff along with instructional videos.

I’ve loved everything about the Buff so far.. we were sent quite a few for review, even Buffs for kids. The designs are quite stylish, not bland and boring which is pretty cool. The Buffs are also lightweight and don’t feel heavy at all.

Buffs are great for parents too because you know your child will be protected in the snow or cold. Buff headwear also blocks out 95 percent of harmful UV rays. The UV Buffs are also made from CoolMax which helps you stay cool and maintain hydration during your activities.

Also great to keep those pesky bugs away while you’re camping, fishing or enjoying the outdoors!

Visit the Buff Store Locator to find a dealer near you or check out the online shops that also carry the Buff headwear.

I love being able to not only match with my daughter but being able to express my feelings with a shirt. For instance, the Lucky shirt for me really expresses that I do feel lucky and my daughters “Mommy’s Lucky Charm” shirt tells the world that she is my lucky charm.. and she is!

I loved the color of the red, most of the compliments from people we received were about the color. Everyone, including myself, thought it was a pretty color of red and that the design of the t-shirt was adorable.

There’s a few adorable Daddy and me sets that I would love to get my husband and son for Christmas. The first set says; For dad: King Fisherman and For son: Daddy’s Catch the other says says Papa Bear for dad and Baby Bear for the child.
