PBN-Boca Beth Language Learning Series

The Boca Beth Language Learning Series DVD, CD, activity book, and Boca puppet arrived at our doorstep one day and I have to admit I was a bit leery of it. It just seemed like so much stuff to get my one-year-old daughter engaged in. Boca Beth, “bringing Spanish to life” seeks to find fun and easy ways to give young children a head start on becoming bilingual. My daughter is just on the verge of talking and I wondered if this would only confuse her.We took out the Boca puppet first and played and familiarized her with it. She enjoyed discovering that she too could make Boca’s mouth move. Ever since Boca is now dragged out and shoved at me when we watch the DVD. We pushed play on the DVD, “I like Animals”, and immediately she got closer to the TV screen and squeaked with happiness. She … [Read more...]

PBN-Brainy Baby Product Review

My daughter does not watch television. Believe me on those days where I have a deadline to meet I’ve tried, always in vain, to get her to watch some sort of public television approved show. Nothing doing. She is fourteen months old and has the attention span of a fourteen month old, meaning its all “Ooh block fun! Throw block! Bad block! Ooh dolly, love dolly. Boring dolly.” When the Brainy Baby Company sent me their Baby IQ “The World Around Us” DVD, I didn’t hold out much hope of her watching it. I popped the thirty-five minute DVD in and immediately the sounds of the London Symphony Orchestra filled the room. A-ha! My daughter loves music and was thus riveted to the screen immediately. Her little compact body bounced to the lively introductory tunes as her mouth hung open in surprise … [Read more...]

PBN-School Zone Product Review

The arrival of the School Zone Discovery Cards was a big deal in our house. It’s my first product to review for the Parent Bloggers Network and of course, new toys are always welcome. I was not prepared however, for the enthusiasm that spewed forth from my one-year old daughter when I took the brightly colored packages out of the shipping box.Her little eyes lit up and her tiny hands reached out for the parcels. She started squawking and begging for them immediately. I got only halfway through the instructions on how to use the Peek-a-Boo-Bunny (I didn’t get the bear one) when the cries that translate to “GIMMEE! NOW!” became too much. I handed over the Peek-a-Boo-Bunny first. In mere seconds, she had the cards out of the box and all over the kitchen floor. She inspected the bunny’s … [Read more...]
