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?

How To: DIY Sand/Water Table

How To: Build A Sand/Water Table for Under $30 ! Sorry this took me so long to blog, but I had to have a tool list and full instructions before I could do so. A little history on my love for the sand/water table . I love the idea behind tools for tiny hands, i.e. the Montessori Method , and like to have Lukka 'figure things out for himself', even when he is playing. I try to have the most simple and basic toys available for 3 reasons: a) simple toys generally have less parts, which means less of a hassle for me b) simple toys inspire way more creativity and imagination than do 'exact replica' toys c) they are much more aesthetically pleasing to look at, therefore, not making every nook and cranny of our house an eyesore! I know the last reason is just for me, but it's true. Plastic things don't generally last 1/2 as long as wooden or fabric toys, and they are unattractive. For this reason, I started to look for a wooden sand/water table as opposed to a pl...

We've Gone and Done It

We are in the midst of packing up, and moving. Not just any move, but The Move we've been trying to accomplish for years now. We're heading up to (Washington) Canada. In the last couple of months Stefan had been talking to a potential employer up in Richmond, British Columbia , and after a very swift interview process they offered him the job. Small and large details aside, he accepted and plans to start on February 25th. We leave one week earlier, on the 18th. That's literally just over 2 weeks from when you will read this. We told family and close friends first, and while we haven't been keeping it a huge secret, our church, as a whole, did not know until last night because it was then we could tell everyone at our seasonal congregational meeting what our plans were in person, and with many of them all at once. I didn't want to say anything online until that happened. We've been steadily spending heaps of time with friends and family, all while slowly p...
