Usborne Customer Specials for April


Something near and dear to my (former travelling self) personality is teaching children about the world we live in. To me, this means studying, learning, and reading about all different types of people; where they live, what they eat, what their families look like, etc. Kane Miller Publishing, the fiction and world cultures part of Usborne Books and More, is quite active in their pursuit of quality literature found all over the world.

Kane Miller Publishing was acquired by Usborne a couple of years ago, and the more I get to know the books, the more I think it is really a wonderful fit. On the back of Kane Miller books there is a spot that tells which country the book is from. This leads me to the next point of the customer specials this month. One of my favorite books--"Around the World" is on sale for $4 this month!

The sticker dolly series has a lot of girly themed books, but this one is by far my favorite. This book is filled with boys and girls from all over the world, a little information about each country shown, and 250 stickers (!) full of clothing to attach and learn about. The great thing about this "Around the World" sticker dolly book is that this is a really unique and fun supplement for a Geography/World Cultures unit, and allows children to learn a little bit about their neighbors around the world, one 2 page spread, and about 20 stickers, at a time. The sticker series are excellent for the older child and long car rides, or for the younger child (3+) engaging with an adult in the activity.

This is just one of the 9 specials for customers in April, as they change monthly. Originally, this book is $8.99 (like all the other sticker dolly series), but on sale for $4, this book is 55% off. The rest of the April customer specials can be accessed here. Did you find something you liked?

Home School Activities: Board Games We Love

My children have recently become enthralled in the world of board games. I was never a board game player. Sure, I remember long summer hours (days? it seemed like it..) spent around a Monopoly board, but I was never one to suggest to get out the cards, or a game. As my children have grown and they are now able to do activities with me, I started noticing that they really took to puzzles (when done all together) and the one or two board games I happened to have kept in the storage room. They were always asking to play Candy Land and so I figured I should branch off a bit. Over the course of the last year, I have found GREAT games, even ones that I love to play alongside them. The amount of 'teaching' they have gotten through games is jaw-dropping. Counting, team-playing, math related patterning, are just some of the skills I've watched develop. I asked before Christmas on facebook what my friends and their own kids loved and I was thrilled with the response. We have found ov...

Home School Resources: Links we Love

Source: ladyanndeborja.tumblr.com via Sarah on Pinterest Today I'm just sharing a list of my favorite go-to resources for home schooling. It's a list of where I find games, books, crafts, and fresh inspiration. Also included are articles I've loved about home schooling. One of my favorite websites about homeschooling, updated daily, is Simple Homeschool . It's a shoot off branch of SimpleKids & SimpleMoms, and they often have great giveaways, advice, and have concise and interesting topics. A friend recently guided me to World Book Online to find the general requirements of each grade. At the curriculum fair I went to in April, I remembered two vendors that I want to revisit if they return. One was Hepner's Legacy and the other was Miller's Pads and Papers (don't be fooled by the poor websites, they have great products at good prices). TED Talks . Go. Watch. Now. All of them. Awesome. Even if home schooling is a laughable topic to you, you're ...

Lukka's Birthday Interview // 17

17! You're FINALLY 17! You can drive independently, and you have read the manual, watched professional drivers and gleaned tips from others about this test that you've been dreaming about for years. You were given a car by a friend of ours, cleaned it to perfection, fixed it up in places, and have driven your sister and friends all over for the past week in near-unbridled joy. I am so happy for you (and I'd be lying if I wasn't happy for me, too)! You are such a mature and kind-hearted young man. You have big plans and are taking the steps to proactively execute them. You are sweet to your sister even if you'd deny it in front of your friends, and your relationship with her has come full-circle back to being as close as you two were in your littlest years.  You have so many goals and you work hard to achieve them! You prioritize what's important to you, and are willing to cut the rest. Although I sometimes wonder how you will remember to get to appointments with...
