A Great Computer Desk

2009-06-03T15:49:00.000-07:00

In this day and age children seem to grow and mature at an alarming rate. So many things they are exposed to now would have never even been considered years ago. While this is believed to be a good thing there are times when any child may feel a little lost. Maybe they don't grasp a concept as quickly as their schoolmates or friends, which oftentimes leads to frustration.

Sometimes children are not entirely receptive to having a parent or teacher try to explain something. It may make them feel like they are way behind everyone else. However, you may have noticed they are slightly more comfortable with instructions from someone a little closer to their age. Not exactly their age or grade as that may make them feel more frustrated when they do not grasp an idea or problem.

The Buddy Computer Desk is a wonderfully designed product that may make the extra bit of learning a little easier to do. It seats up to two children with the extra wide 30.5" seat. The desktop is deep enough for a large computer with the capability of storing a full size tower below the desk. This arrangement allows two children to sit side by side which enables a great deal of hands-on interaction. It is sturdily built and has dent resistant edge banding.

Naturally the biggest advantage is the fact that they can be side by side, learning through both watching and participating. This arrangement lends itself to a more compatible type learning, rather than someone standing in front of them, or over them, which may make them feel small and insignificant.

The Plasma Car: How does it work?

2009-05-29T20:22:00.000-07:00

Getting your kids involved in fun outdoor activities is a priority for every parent. More and more parents are skipping the DVDs and video games as entertainment sources for their children and opting for toys that promote active play and development of important motor skills such as hand and eye coordination and cognitive skills.

A great riding toy that will promote both of these skills highly is thePlasma Car. Made from very strong, yet lightweight ABS plastics that create a smooth and comfortable sitting area for your child. This car comes in brilliant colors that are sure to delight any child and with a little practice any kid can master riding and steering a Plasma Car. There are no batteries to recharge, no gears to switch and this car doesn't even have pedals that can frustrate smaller children who have not yet mastered moving their arms and feet at the same time as required with tricycles and other small riding toys.

The secret to the Plasma Car is the simplicity of design. It has 6-wheels for stability, a comfy seat and foot rests that go towards the front of the car. To make the Plasma Car move forward, your child simply rotates the steering wheel continuously back and forth from left to right. When your child is ready to stop, he or she simply stops moving the steering wheel and when the car slows down, your child just puts their feet on the ground and the car will come to a complete stop.

If you have a large flat area for your children to ride their Plasma Cars on, these cars can attain a speed of over 6 MPH. Additionally, the versatile cars can also go in reverse quite easily, simply switch the 4 front wheels of the car to the back and move the larger back wheels forward to the front of the Plasma Car. The car will go backwards until you move the wheels back to their original positions.

If you would like a toy that is earth-friendly, kid powered and will promote motor skills in your child, a Plasma Car will be the perfect toy for your needs.

The great thing about the addition of a sand and water table to your home is that they can get involved in "outdoor" play no matter what the weather may be like.

The Baseball Game on a Classroom Carpet

2009-05-22T06:00:00.000-07:00

Sometimes sitting your child down to study can be quite the little hassle. It can be even more difficult when the child just had a full day of school. Making studying into a game is a great, effective way to aid your child's learning process and refresh their brains... plus, games are fun! The following game is great because it can be used for just about any subject. But for explanation's sake, we will use math as an example.

To add to the theme of the game, a Numbers and Shapes Rug would be quite fitting. It may also act as an aid to your pupils answers.

This game is great if you are a teacher with a classroom full of kids, or even if you are a parent with one child. You as the parent/teacher will stand as the pitcher. Just as the rules apply for baseball, they will apply for the game. Your "pitch" will be a math problem. For example, you say, "4+5." The batter, your child, will then "swing" by answering the problem. If they get it right, they move up a base and they continue around the bases as they would in baseball. If they get three problems wrong before making it "Home," then they are out.

If you and your child are playing one-on-one, if they get three wrong answers and become out, switch positions with your child. Allow them to pitch you math problems. This is a fun and creative way to get them involved and active. As mentioned before, you can use any subject to play with.

Teaching With a Toy Box

2009-05-20T10:48:00.000-07:00

One of the many wonders of having children is the fact that they are little tornadoes swarming and swirling throughout your once tidy living room, kitchen, toy room, etc. One minute their toys are neatly placed in their appointed positions, and in the blink of an eye, it looks as though a bomb went off from the depths of their tiny fingers. Yet, as parents, you should take these little annoyances and turn them into positive learning situations for not only them, but yourself as well.

Problem Solving

2009-05-15T10:43:00.000-07:00

Having children offers you a whole new perspective of the "ins and outs" and the "whys and how's" of life. Has your child ever asked you a question that utterly left you speechless because you either did not know how to answer it, or you could not believe that they even thought to ask such a thing? Their minds are an amazing feature that parents sometimes take for granted, not realizing the capabilities that even a 4 year old has. During playtime with another child, there is bound to be conflicts between them. Problem solving is a life lesson to be taught as early as possible.

Problem solving skills not only relate to conflicts between people, or children, but they can be applied to something as simple as a child building a fort the way the imagine it. The 22 Piece Super Jumbo Foam Wonder Blocks make for a great problem solving tool. With these toy blocks, your child will be able to utilize them to create the fort that they envision. They will need to problem solve to make the blocks work for them. Also, if there is more than one child involved, conflicts between them are likely to occur. Not that you want them to fight or argue, but take advantage of the situation to teach the children skills for solving their woes.

Be sure to avoid saying phrases that indicate what they should not do. Rather, convey what they should do. Let them know that instead of raising their voice and screaming for their wants, make them understand that they should calmly explain that they wish to play with this toy, or what-have-you. With the Wonder Blocks, they will be able to problem solve their way to their forts, or other creations, while you might be given then opportunity to teach them a great life lesson.

The goal is to tap that person before they are able to sit in the "goose's" spot. If the "goose" is not able to do this, they become "it" for the next round and play continues.
