Teaching Kids Through Educational Programming

Get kids moving and learning with this new educational programming from Greg Page, the original Yellow Wiggle! #educationalprogramming #educationalvideosforkids #education #earlychildhoodeducational #earlylearning #childhood #TVforkids #WhatIsYourChildWatching #ExploreDiscoverAndGrow #adAre you worried about what your kids watch on television? I am pretty strict about the shows that I let my daughter watch. I do control the amount of screen time that she gets, but I am also an advocate for educational programs for kids. My daughter loves shows that encourage her to answer questions and sing and dance along. So I was thrilled to learn that Greg Page (the original Yellow Wiggle from The Wiggles), has created a new series of educational videos for kids!

Educational Gifts Kids Will Want This Year!


Do you want to make learning more fun for your kids? When it comes to shopping for holiday gifts, I always like to find toys that are both fun and educational. It is important to me that the gifts that I give my daughter provide some educational value, whether it is working on a particular skill, providing her with an opportunity to be creative, or encouraging her to explore the world around her. This list of educational gifts for kids offers lots of options for the young learners on your list!

Patterns, Dancing and Fun with Potato Pants!

We all have times in our lives when we feel wronged by another party for a slight that we perceived to be malicious, but turned out to be an innocent misunderstanding. It can be difficult for children especially to look past themselves and consider the reasons behind the actions of another person. Today’s book deals with this type of situation in a fun and hilarious way, through the story of a potato who is looking to buy a pair of pants.

Fancy Gifts for Fancy Nancy Fans!

I love Fancy Nancy. The popular book series by Jane O’Connor and Robin Preiss Glasser follows Nancy Clancy, a young girl who loves everything fancy. She loves to use big words, and she dresses and accessorizes to impress. She also uses French words whenever she can, and does her best to add a little fantastique to the world around her. With the recent release of the Disney Junior show based on the books, my daughter has fallen in love with the world of Fancy Nancy. We had the opportunity to check out some of the new Fancy Nancy Toys from Jakks Pacific, and it inspired me to put together this list of gifts for Fancy Nancy fans.

30+ Color Mixing Activities for Kids!

I believe that it is so important to teach our kids about tolerance and accepting the differences in ourselves and others. When we learn to work together and embrace our differences, wonderful things can happen. Today’s book explores this important topic through color mixing, with a fun story about colors coming together to create new possibilities. I decided to bring it to life with a list of fun color mixing activities for kids!

Best Educational Gifts for Babies

Purchasing baby gifts can be overwhelming. There are so many options and so many things to consider. Do you go for the adorable outfit or the practical car seat base? My mother has always made it a point to give a new book or educational toy to a new family, and I try to do the same thing now. Given my love of books and learning, I wanted to gather a list of fantastic educational gifts for babies!

Rocking Out with Think & Learn Rocktopus!

My daughter and I have always been big fans of music. We sing together, we play piano, we play toy instruments, and we love to dance. I have sung to her every night before bed from the very beginning, and I have encouraged her to experience a wide variety of musical genres. Through the influence of her favorite TV show, as well as the influence of her grandfather, she developed an early love of classical music, and she loves identifying and playing lots of musical instruments. So I was thrilled when we were given the opportunity to check out the new Think & Learn Rocktopus from Fisher Price!

Digging for Fun with a Dog Named Doug!

My daughter and I are huge fans of Karma Wilson’s books. Her Bear books are in constant rotation in our read aloud line up, and my daughter already names her as her favorite author. So as dog lovers, we were so excited when we heard that she was writing a new book about a dog named Doug. This adorable story gave us the opportunity to engage in some dog activities too!
