If you read Danielle's post yesterday, you would know all about School Zone publishing company and their Peek-a-Boo Puppy book. I was lucky enough to receive some products from School Zone as well and I took them along babysitting last night for the kids to play with. Here is a pic of Owen enjoying his peek-a-boo puppy book. He basically tested it out by dumping all of the cards on the floor and then throwing them around the room. He is a big fan of peek-a-boo, however being a boy he just wanted to be a little maniac instead of actually sit there and read. Notice the photo of Eliza sitting nicely and reading with mommy & daddy from yesterday's post. I guess this is the difference between boys and girls! We give this product a good grade for sturdiness but do agree with Danielle that if it was an actual book instead of cards, it would probably be a lot easier to work with.

More Fun With School Zone Products
They also sent me 2 of their newest products which are the Math Readiness sticker book and the Big Alphabet workbook. These 2 activity books mix fun filled content with learning skills and they are prefect for kids in preschool or kindergarten. Since we had a lot of fun with the other products and Layna isn't even in school yet, I figured I would save these for her birthday or just another day in the future. I am sure she will be a big fan of the stickers when she gets to play with them. Here are some concepts that kids will learn while using the math workbook: number sequence, telling time, counting money, matching numbers, and of course addition & subtraction. The alphabet workbook will teach them all about letter sounds and recognition, as well as writing upper case and lower case letters.
Getting back to what I was saying before, i think it is amazing that products like these can be aimed at such young kids. They must be getting smarter these days - all I remember doing in preschool was playing with dolls and now these kids are doing sign language, yoga, & learning spanish. If you have a chance to pick up any of the School Zone products, your child will certainly be on the right track for success in school.
