So, here is my mom tip! We love The Friend magazine around here of course. Big surprise there. But we also have been getting this:
little gem over the last year. It from Highlights, but it's called High Five and is for ages 2-6.
We love it! Each month we look forward to new stories and a comic, poems, math exercises, brain teasers, a craft suggestion that is totally doable, recipes we usually try that kids can do, and a game you can cut out and keep until it gets played so much it falls apart.
I wish they were paying me to say all this, because this is starting to sound like an ad (Highlights people are you out there?!?!)- but we seriously love it and I always think, "I should tell my friends how great this is."
It makes me feel like an on top of it mom to do so much educational, fun stuff that I don't have to come up with myself.
Ok, your turn- do you have a favorite educational toy or product we all need to check out? It doesn't have to be something you buy either. It could be a fun educational activity or game. Let's hear it!

nate's grandparents gave us a subscription to national geographic for kids magazine for christmas. we laughed really hard because we were like, thanks, calvin will love this in about ten years! so no, i have no input (as usual).
ps i'm totally looking forward to the magazine for myself, however.
I'm a sucker for all those magazines too. I even subscribe to the Which Way USA editions, which are a little old for my 4 year old but I tuck them away and know they will be a great resource a little later on. Braedon loves getting his own magazines in the mail too.
I'll have to check out that magazine. I remember loving the Highlights magazines when I was a kid.
Here's something that we all love around here. =)

We get these tooooo. That's all. :)
That sounds super awesome. I'm going to go subscribe right now. Thanks.
I have nothing else to add at this time. Please forgive me.
That sounds like a neat magazine!
I really like Bright Builders made by Discovery Toys- you can create anything you can imagine and they're the perfect size for little ones and older ones.
Ha ha ha! We did use to blog a long time ago! I am the worst blogger... sorry!
i don't believe in educational things for my children. they will get/ are getting their education on the streets of hauula. pretty sure they need anything else.
fo shiz ash. word up to the 96717.
We used to get those and I loved them! Did you guys get zoo books (the magazine) when you were kids? THey were awesome.
I am always amazed at the creative things my kids come up with when playing with Legos... Does that count? Ohh and have you seen the semi-coloring book Doodles by Taro Gomi? It's awesome and I know you would love it. You can get it on amazon.
mama santa went a little overboard with eeBoo products via amazon.com this Christmas.

i got the bingo, the life on earth and i never forget a face memory games (lovely i tell you)and some 'tell me a story' sets. my kids LOVE them!!
