{Brag Worthy Christmas!} Contours Classique 3-in-1 Bassinet Review and Giveaway [CLOSED]

ZB004-HML_300

Isn’t this Bassinet gorgeous?! Any new baby would feel super spoiled to be able to sleep in this every night! Contours%20logo

When Kolcraft told me they wanted me to review their Contours Classique 3-in-1 Bassinet. I jumped at the chance, just look at it and you will know why! It is so nice looking, especially compared to all the plastic bassinets out there. But even better than the look, it has so many uses!

  1. Bassinet
  2. Moses Basket
  3. Changing Table

Lets start with the Bassinet. I love how it isn’t too big. When bug was a baby I used his play yard with a bassinet add on. That thing was huge! I really like how this is much slimmer and takes up a lot less space. And it is very elegant looking so it fits in with my bedroom perfectly. Since it has a wooden frame it is a lot sturdier than plastic bassinets and will last much longer. The Bassinet basket locks into place so you know your baby is secure. It has a hanging deluxe organizer and diaper stacker so everything you need for baby is right there within reach. It also comes with 2 removable baskets so you can put things for baby underneath the bassinet. They are perfect for putting extra clothes and blankets for baby close by because new babies are so messy!

Next the Moses Basket. I love the fact that it has handles so you can carry baby with you anywhere in the house. It also has an adjustable canopy so you can block light depending on where it is coming from.

Last but definitely not least, the Changing Table. This can hold up to 25 pounds so you can use it for such a long time! And like I said before it has a deluxe organizer and diaper stacker so you have everything you need for diaper change time. It also locks into place so the changing table is secure.

I just love that it eliminates the need to buy 3 separate products! I can’t wait to use this Contours Classique 3-in-1 Bassinet with my next baby!

Watch a Product Demo of the Bassinet to see all the details of each feature.

Things that are Brag Worthy:

  • Saves money because you only have to buy 1 product instead of 3.
  • Solid Wood Frame Provides Elegance & Stability
  • Changing Table Securely Attaches on Top of Bassinet Rails and Conveniently Stores Underneath When PI_ZB005-MOD_04_500x500Not in Use
  • Handles on Removable Moses Basket Lets Mom Take Baby Anywhere in the House
  • 2 Removable Wicker Storage Baskets with Fashionable Fabric Liners
  • Hanging Deluxe Organizer & Diaper Stacker Keeps Baby’s Items Handy
  • Washable Terry Cloth Fitted Sheet on Mattress
  • 4 Locking Casters Keep Bassinet & Changing Table In Place or Unlock to Move From Room to Room
  • i Parenting Media Award Winner.
  • Makes a great Christmas gift for expecting or new parents! ChristmasBetterREd

Safety 1st Complete Air Convertible Car Seat Review

pTRU1-6021163_alternate3_dt

pTRU1-6021163_alternate2_dt

Air Protect™ Technology has been designed to defend against the biggest threat to children on the road today; side impact collisions. Side impact are by far the deadliest type of collision for children, accounting for one in three child fatalities; nearly all of which are caused by head trauma. The placement of Air Protect™ Technology on the car seat diverts crash forces away from a child’s head, the most vulnerable place in a side impact crash.”

Safety1st_05

Before I even get into all the wonderful features of the Safety 1st Air Protect car seat, let me just say it is B-E-A-UTIFUL! I had no idea car seats could actually be stunning, but I promise you, this one is. Now, I may be a little biased due to the fact that my love for the color orange borderlines on an obsession, but it really is fabulous. When this arrived on my doorstep I wasreviewers literally squealing with joy. I do have to admit I had my dad do the installation, (Hubby was in Afghanistan) but I did watch! =) It went well- a little tricky at first, but what car seat isn’t a little difficult the first time? Especially when it’s SO important to get it right. We put it rear-facing for my 19 pounder. I LOVE that you can put your child in it as early as 5 pounds. We’ve been using the infant car seat up until now, but it’s been a long time since we actually brought the car seat in everywhere we went. We could have been using this seat for a long time! And obviously, the most important thing is that this is an extremely safe car seat! It uses Air Protect Technology which protects your child’s most vulnerable and important feature- his head! On side impact the Air Protect releases air and reduces crash forces around the child’s head and provides a double layer of security. 1 in 4 crashes involve side collisions so this feature is critical in protecting your child. Here is more information on Air Protect Technology. I am so happy and grateful for the peace of mind I now have whenever I take my child on the road, even for a short distance. I know he is safe in his new car seat! A big thank you to Safety 1st for generously providing me the Air Protect to review!

Snazzy Baby Chair Review and Giveaway [CLOSED]

travel-chair-red-high

Snazzy Baby is committed to developing and sourcing products designed to safely protect precious babies. We love products which simplify everyday life and allow parents to enjoy every minute of their lives with their baby, doing the things they want to do while ensuring their baby is protected when using our products.”

blurb

travel-chair-6-high

travel-chair-4-high

I know we’ve all been in this position before- baby is dying for some pureed turkey & veggies, but you’re on-the-go and a highchair is nowhere to be found. Now what? Before, you might have had someone else hold your kiddo- do some physical restraining, which of course doesn’t work because the food manages to get everywhere due to the squirming. But now, there’s an answer! The Snazzy Baby Chair! This portable highchair is a must-have for every traveling parent. Ok, so awesome thing #1- it rolls up into itself, so no extra bag to tote around. All-in-one! It’s multi-functional, because you can use it in a shopping cart as well. Sometimes those “safety belts” aren’t all that safe. Especially once your baby starts learning how to stand up. So what was my experience? Well, there was a little learning curve to the process. I got it wrong a few times. But once I got the hang of it, it was pretty easy. Harrison had no complaints- especially once the food came out! It looks a little awkward, but Harrison never whined. He will sit pretty still until the food is gone! (That’s my boy) Next use: Thanksgiving! We’re going to a friend’s house where I’m sure there won’t be a high chair of any sort- but that won’t stop Harrison from getting to taste some yummy Thanksgiving food! Snazzy Baby carries other great and innovative baby products, including baby knee pads! Now that Harrison is really crawling, these would definitely come in handy, especiallyemily-2-high for the outdoors! I’m a native Minnesotan living in Texas, and I have to say I’m not a huge fan of the grass. It hurts! The kneepads would be PERFECT for those hot days when I want to let Harrison crawl around without getting those precious knees all scraped up. They also can be used once your child gets older, for bikes, rollerblades, etc. Perfect!


Things that are Brag Worthy:

  • Folds up SO small- easily fits in diaper bag!
  • Easy to use
  • Roll up feature with attached storage bag
  • Has a non-slip bottom
  • Buckle fasteners and four -point restraint keep baby secure
  • Can also be used in a shopping cart
  • Attaches to most chairs, even outdoor furniture
  • Can use up to 37 lbs
  • Machine washable (SO important- yucky food residue!)
  • All Products contain NO Azo Dyes, Phthalates or Bisphenol-A and are formaldehyde free
  • Keeps your child in a safe, controlled environment
  • Snazzy Baby offers other innovative products, such as baby knee pads, a combo carrier, and leg warmers!

      Travel Buddies Review and Giveaway [CLOSED]

      trv_bud_asleep

      I received the Alligator Travel Buddy for bug and I to review. He loves it! It is made from the same super soft material that his blankie is made from, so that immediately made it his favorite stuffed animal. We have family that live 4 hours away (in both directions) so we travel in the car a lot. This Alligator Travel Buddy is perfect for helping bug sleep in the car without having his neck kink. I love that. I don’t have to try to stuff a blanket under his head. He can even put the Travel Buddy behind his head all by himself. We are traveling on an airplane for the first time for Thanksgiving and we will be taking his Travel Buddy so he can sleep comfortably on the plane. And the other nice things is it willheidi_signature provide a source of comfort (as a stuffed animal) on the Plane as well.

      prod_nw_b

      I was so excited to receive the Bunny Travel Buddy and it was great that Leah also loved it! She really wouldn’t let me put it around her neck but she loved to cuddle and hold it. The Bunny Travel Buddy is so soft and lightweight and it’s also hypoallergenic which is great for the little ones delicate skin. It is a great neck rest BUT also a great stuffed animal. I can’t wait till Leah is just a little bit older and she can wear it around her neck in the car seat, the airplane or wherever we go. Leah loves to just carry it brainn_siggy_pinkaround the house and put it on the floor to lay on it. Your little one will love it too!

      2007-01-21 Janice Welcome to my Thirty-One Gifts with Janice! When I was first introduced to this company it was right when my husband decided to retire from the Navy. That was perfect timing! I didn’t want to work outside of the home even though all 3 children are in school full time now. I decided to start selling Thirty-One immediately after seeing the beautiful products! I love this company, its products and the support they offer! My wonderful husband, three children and my friends have supported me on this adventure! Thank you all very much!

      HappyEntertaining

      I LOVE polka dots. Love, love, LOVE. When I received my green, blue & brown polka dotted small organizing utility tote from Thirty One, I was seriously overjoyed. It’s made of extra-tough nylon and is stain and water resistant. (Wow!) You can use this bag for any and everything. It has 5 generous external pockets to fit almost everything, and keeps all your most important items very accessible. I’ve been using it as sort of an “extra” diaper bag when we make all-day or weekend trips. (This bag would make a great diaper bag, but I think it’s too nice and pretty to use everyday and get pureed sweet potatoes and boogers all over it) It can hold so much more than it appears to. I’ve got a lot of other ideas for it… the beach, picnics, travel bag. And the best part? It has my name stitched on it! What a great personalized gift for a friend or family member. Really adds that extra touch. The first time I looked through the catalog, I found MANY things I wanted to purchase for myself or someone else, and I know you will too! multidot

      Things that are Brag Worthy:

The oven comes with three different mixes, two baking pans, two utensils, a pan pusher, two warming cups and recipes/instructions. One 100-watt standard light bulb is required but not included.

      I received the Easy-Bake Oven & Snack Center for my girls from Hasbro. I love that they went back to the original Aqua color. Very fresh looking. This is such a fun way for girls to bake up a sweet and tasty treat. I have been baking a lot of cookies and cupcakes for birthdays and this oven came in handy. While I was baking, my 3 girls made some little cakes in their Easy-Bake oven. Aprons on and everything. They even cooked daddy a cute little birthday cake with their oven. I was so proud of them. I love having this for my girls. I remember how fun it was baking along with my mom. Thank you Hasbro.

They couldn’t wait to give her a bottle and play with her. This cutie came with 2 packages of juice mix for feeding, bottle, very cute bear rattle and a diaper for changing. I loved the packaging too. She came in a cardboard stroller. Very clever and cute. Once your baby alive is done with her bottle, get ready to change a diaper. LOL My girls were so proud of themselves for completing this task and say they are ready to babysit for a friend of mine. So cute. The Baby Alive Whoopsie Doo Doll is a great choice for any little girl. They will love when she coos and wiggles her arms and legs. My girls did!

      • Adorable doll that coos and wriggles
      • Comes with a bottle for feeding ( nice for your older daughters to use while you feed your baby )

      {Brag Worthy Christmas!} Playskool Activity Ball Review

      3912237b4742_Main400

      “Babies will love to explore the numerous surprises found in the colorful new ACTIVITY BALL toy. When young infants open up the ball during sitting play, they will discover multi-sided busy activities, including a ball drop. When the ACTIVITY BALL toy is closed, infants can shake, squeak, and roll the ball, which will encourage baby to crawl after it. The ACTIVITY BALL toy includes two balls that are compatible with all other EXPLORE ‘N GROW ball toys. Available at most major toy retailers nationwide and on http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/

      39122eb4d92_B400

      As the Christmas shopping deadline approaches, you want to find great toy for your baby that’s both fun and educational. Inexpensive and entertaining would be great too, right? Well The Playskool EXPLORE ‘N GROW Activity Ball is just that! First of all let me just say that it entertains my child without the use of batteries and annoying songs. We all know those light up toys are great, but sometimes you just need a little peace and quiet! There is nothing electronical about this baby toy. Baby is just free to use his imagination, and play! It encourages both sitting play, and crawling so it’s perfect for 6 months and up. It opens up to 3 separate parts, so as you can guess Harrison loved opening and closing each part. It also comes with two little balls for use inside, but Harrison & I also find them fun to play with by themselves. Best of all, you close it, and it’s one big ball to roll and play with. There’s lots of gadgets to twist, turn, spin, and shake. Harrison loves his Playskool EXPLORE ‘N GROW Activity Ball and I know the little one on your Christmas list will too!

      The Christmas Magic

      Project23Far, far North, when the nights are longest and the stars shine brightest, Santa begins to prepare for his big night of giving. He gathers his reindeer, feeds them parsnips and berries, and polishes his bells and his sled. Then lovingly, he chooses toys for every child in the world. For Santa loves them all, and he knows what each child at heart wants most. Then, with the thrum of magic that makes reindeers fly, he spreads the Christmas joy and warmth throughout the world–as he always has — and always will until the end of time. From best-selling author Lauren Thomas, and Caldecott Honor Artist Jon J Muth

      {Brag Worthy Christmas!} Pawparrazi Pets Review and Giveaway [CLOSED]

      Pawparazzi Pets are the celebrities that we wish all celebrities could be. They have talent and class, they approach the world with open hearts, and they support causes that make their world better. And, they’re not just friends, they’re fashion accessories!
      Girls can engage with Pawparazzi on many levels: They can READ about their pets in Pawparazzi Magazine and on this website. Their fashion DNA will be stimulated with trendy bags, glitzy jewelry, collectible charms and fabulous fashions. Their Creativity and Imagination will flourish as they explore the exciting world of these tiny superstar pets and share the experience with their friends!
      I received the most adorable Stuffed animals from Pawparazzi Pets. These are the most adorable stuffed animals I have seen. My daughters fell in love with the accessories too! WOW! The quality is amazing and the detail they put into each animal is so wonderful. Any girl would love to have a Pawparazzi Pet on their arm. A friend of mine told me that her daughter really wants a purse puppy from Santa. How cute it that! I told her about these and she is sure that they are perfect for her daughter. In fact she went online to show her and it is top of her list for her Santa letter! My girls too. I have already found a store near me where I can buy more of these cuties. I would have to say Pawparazzi Pets are a top pick for any birthday girl or Christmas gift this year.

      Meet the Pawparazzi Pets…..

      Becoming a tennis champion wasn’t easy. I started out as a ball Beagle, chasing balls for the pros. But I kept practicing and working and I never gave up on my dream. Now I’m a pro, but I still like to chase my own tennis balls (they feel so squishy and fuzzy in my mouth!). My Pop always says, “Beagles can be the best” and I’m going to prove it. I don’t always win, but I always try my hardest.

      When I was a puppy, I loved to read but my parents couldn’t afford a lot of books. I would read books until the pages were worn and dog-eared. Then I started writing my own. I love writing because in my imagination anything is paw-sible! When I wrote Harry Pawed Her, I had no idea so many young readers would fall in love with the story. It was just a tale I had to tell. I guess all dogs love a good tail!

      Bonejour! I’m a pink poodle so I’m all about fashion! I’m a famous designer and I’ve dressed top celebrities like Kyra, Salsa, and Daisy. Not all dogs have poodle style, so we have a responsibility to look good and promote fashion. After-all, every dog has a fur coat! If there’s shopping to do … I’m your poodle. Show me the dog mall and I’ll shop until my tail drops. I’m pretty sure that’s why they call it re-tail, sweetie!
      As a reporter for the Cat News Network (CNN) I’m always stalking the next big story. You can usually find me sniffing around the news litter box trying to get the latest ‘scoop’. Some people think this business is all catnaps and kitten rescues, but I’ve exposed dangerous dog parks and clawed my way through some flea-infested parts of the world to uncover important stories. If there’s a breaking story, this fur is flying to be first on the scene!

      I always dreamed of hosting a talk show. I got my big break as a young intern at K9-TV. Woof Blitzer, host of “Kennel Talk”, came down with cat scratch fever after an interview with a stray cat and the big dogs at the network asked me sit in his chair. I was so nervous I almost drooled on camera, but I was determined to show them what I could do. Now I wag my tail on my own show, interviewing fascinating guests and sharing important issues with my viewers.

      I started painting because I loved the feel of paint squishing between my toes. The colors, the smell, and the feel of scratching on canvas excites me like catnip. I love to create something new from my imagination. I try to communicate through art and make other cats think outside the litter box. We don’t have to keep scratching the same old post and running to the same bowl of food. We’ve only got 9 lives to live and some of them are short!

      As you can see from the pictures above, these adorable Pawparazzi Pets are sure to be a hit this Christmas!

      We recommend Pawparazzi Pets for any girl this Christmas!

      Tummy Tub Review and Giveaway [CLOSED]

      main-clearpreview_clip_image001

      “The new concept in bathing babies in the TummyTub® from the birth up to 3 years. The benefits are acknowledged in maternity hospitals and homes throughout Europe. Endorsed by physicians, midwives and nursery nurses.

      TummyTub® was designed in the Netherlands by child caretakers to ease the transition from the comfort of the mother’s womb.

      Babies naturally adopt the fetal position and it is amazing to see how quickly they calm and relax.”-Tummy Tub Websitetummytubpagecollage

      tummytubpicuploadI was so excited to review the Tummy Tub. I love how it is so womb like and helps babies to relax. Such a great baby product! I have a friend with a 5 month old baby girl and she helped me review the Tummy Tub. Her little princess just loves the Tummy Tub, she didn’t want to get out! 5 months is definitely a great age for the Tummy Tub, she had fun splashing and liked putting her mouth on the edge of the tub. It has soft round edges so she really enjoyed that. But the best thing was you could tell she just loved being in it. She didn’t want to get out, and cried when bath time was over. Her mom loves it so much she said she is going to buy one now! I even tried it out with bug (2 years old) and he really enjoyed it. Because Tummy Tub can be used up to 3 years old. It was like he had his own mini “hot tub” it helped him relax and I was so impressed by how the water stayed warmer much longer than a traditional bath and it didn’t tip over even when he got a little crazy. I wish I would have known about Tummy Tub when bug was a baby, I will definitely be using my Tummy Tub with bug now and for all the rest of my babies! This Mommy Loves the Tummy Tub!washingupload

      {BragWorthy Christmas} Music for Me and More Review and Giveaway [CLOSED]

      LOGO“A wise man once said that there’s no sweeter sound to each of us than the sound of our own name. And perhaps at no stage in life is that truer than in childhood—when the seeds of self-identity and self-esteem are sown in a youngster’s life.

      That’s why I founded Music for Me & More. As a mother of four boys, I know how important it is to plant those seeds and nurture them correctly. And one way to do that, I believe, is to supply children with songs, stories, and sports-action scenarios they find fascinating because they’re personalized with their name.

      At Music for Me & More, personalization isn’t just printing a child’s name on a book cover or clumsily inserting it into a blank space in a recording. It’s skillfully weaving a child’s name throughout a story, song, or play-by-play so that it looks or sounds as if it were created for that child alone”

      I received the cutest Sing Along with Elmo and Friends personalized cd and the Little One Little One What do You See? personalized book for Leah.

      elmo cdWith the Elmo and Friends CD, Leah heard her name mentioned in the song 63 times! My baby girl is a huge Elmo and Sesame Street fan and she was so excited when I put this CD in. This CD has so many fun and catchy tunes, including the Elmo’s world and Rubber Ducky song!

      Music for Me & More has lots of fun different types of CD and each one can be personalized with your child’s name. Your Child can sing along with Mickey and Friends, go to a Tea Party with the Disney Princesses, Party with the Wiggles, and more! Each CD will say your child’s name in the song multiple times.

      THU_LITTLEONE_EDITED323X404 Little One Little One What do You See?, is the cutest book and I can’t wait for Leah to receive it for Christmas! I read through it and I immediately loved this book. Leah’s name appeared 29 times and it even had the name of one of her friends, Mommy and Daddy and where she is from!

      Music for Me & More has lots of different books to choose from too! Visit the Fire station, Make a Christmas Wish, Have a Farm Adventure, Learn about a Train with no Name and more!

      Baby Delight Snuggle Nest Review and Giveaway [CLOSED]

      ssn_soft_blocks

      ssn_header

      ssn_logo

      I was so excited to review the Snuggle Nest! This is truly such a great product and it is perfect for our family. When bug was a newborn baby he had a hard time sleeping alone in his bassinet, he wanted to be in bed with us. Plus having him in bed is so much more convenient with so many feedings all during the night. But of course there is a safety issue with having a newborn or any baby in bed with you. Not any more! Snuggle Nest is the perfect solution for safe co-sleeping with baby! I wish I would have had it when bug was a baby. It has sturdy edges so you won’t have to worry about rolling over onto baby. The mat that baby lays on is very soft and is inclined which helps babies find relief from indigestion and reflux. There are sleep positioners on each side so your ssn_feature_inclinebaby will stay laying on his/her back. I received the Supreme Snuggle Nest and it comes with a Soothing Sounds and Nightlight attachment. It plays womb sounds and gentle music, and you can adjust the volume to what works best ssn_feature_light_and_soundsfor you and baby. The night light is such a great idea because it has a soft glow for checking on baby in the middle of the night. The Snuggle Nest also folds up really nicely and is perfect for traveling as well. Don’t worry about hauling around a huge portable crib, just grab your Snuggle Nest and go. I will be using this Snuggle Nest for all the rest of my babies! It is perfect and I love everything about it!

      • You will love your Snuggle Nest!

      The Inspiration behind the Snuggle Nest:

      Baby Delight was founded in 2000 by Farah Morton, a mom who realized that the bassinet was preventing the closeness she desired with her newborn daughter. Knowing the dangers associated with co-sleeping, Farah started experimenting with ways to create a safe area on her own bed that would protect her newborn and allow the closeness she wanted for those first three precious months. With her second baby, Farah refined her ideas into a simple, innovative, and safe product design, and the Snuggle Nest was born! The Snuggle Nest, a protective co-sleeping bed, was an immediate success since there was no other solution for co-sleeping parents on the market, other than bedside bassinets. dsn_header

      Hooter Hiders Review and Giveaway [CLOSED]

      “We at Bebe au Lait believe in more than just creating high-quality parenting products. We are committed to our common mother, Earth. We strive to recognize our individual and collective impact on the earth and make conscious efforts to behave responsibly in order to lessen our environmental footprint. By taking “Bebe Steps” to minimize our impact and better our world, we hope to inspire others to act on behalf of future generations. We continually review our own business practices in order to make this an attainable goal.”

      hooterhiders_logo Have you ever heard of a nursing cover with a cuter name? Very straight-forward- Hooter Hiders! Not only is their name cute, but they offer so many adorable patterns for their great nursing covers. (I received the Marseille – so cute!) Whether or not you breastfeed in public, you will find a lot of use for a Hooter Hider. You may have seen many similar products on the market right now, but what makes Hooter Hiders different? First of all, it has a great pocket on the outside. I love how it keeps anything I need close at hand (cell phone, burp media.nlcloth, keys, etc) without me needing to hold it. Very helpful! The neckline pops out, so you can see baby, and allows for some air flow. Also, the cover is large enough to cover me and my “baby” (he’s not nursing, but we pretended) which is great. Don’t need any slip-ups when in public! Best of all, it comes with a cute matching bag, that even has a ring that allows you to clip it wherever you need it- diaper bag, stroller, etc. It rolls up super small so it is perfect for on the go. I only have 1 more month until baby Ruben arrives- can’t wait for us to use our Hooter Hider!

              Alphabotz Superphonic Decoder Cards Review and Giveaway [CLOSED]

              IMAGINE . . .
              Instead of formulas and worksheets, children get to unlock secrets and solve mysteries. Instead of rote memorization or rules, children become fascinated with character stories, songs, and stats which just happen to reinforce beginning reading skills. Instead of contrived educational text, children embark on adventures in the magical Kingdom of Alpha where they break codes, solve problems, tell stories, perform and pretend. Instead of one learning method for all children, a combination of strategies is utilized that engages the senses and accommodates different learning styles.
              THE JOY AND POWER OF READING . . .
              Presenting Alphabotz, a multimedia program for children ages 3 and up, designed by a parent and teacher to engage and build confidence in beginning readers by personifying the abstract concept that LETTERS equal SOUNDS, SOUNDS build WORDS, and WORDS tell amazing STORIES. Through a proven combination of teaching strategies including phonemic awareness, phonics, sight words, and language experience, a cast of fun, captivating characters provides useful tools for unlocking the secrets to this code adults call reading. Each ALPHABOTZ character represents a sound in the English language, and wears its identifying letter/sound on its chest. These cute, colorful robots have their own special personalities and abilities. Children share adventures with the ALPHABOTZ that incorporate fun, secret formulas for breaking codes, surprises, special needs, humor and love, and just happen to learn about the joy and power of reading along the way.
              I received Alphabotz for my 4 year old to review. This great program has helped my daughter learn how to read many words. The cards are so adorable. My older kids love to use them too. It is not just a learning experience, it is a fun way to spend time with your children. The cards are creative and colorful. Giving examples of Upper and Lower case for each letter, examples of words for that letter, and a fun STAT list on the letter. For example: The letter A is for Albee with his best friend being Abner the Alligator. He lives in and attic of the Apple Cafe next to Abby’s Anthill and he asks for apples. Isn’t that just the cutest. I love it. We can create stories for our children with these cards. With 46 characters, you are sure to fall in love with this program. I know you kids will. It passed the test with 4 of mine. Alphabotz has so many more great products in the works. I can’t wait to use them. I recommend Alphabotz to any family with children eager to learn!
              The Alphabet Alphabotz characters are so cute….. Your child will love to use this program!
              Things that are Brag Worthy…..
              • Colorful and informative cards
              • Adorable Stats info on each letter, telling a story behind the charater
              • Upper and Lower Case identification
              • Coded with a sound the Alphabot represents
              • Complete set comes with 50 fun-filled cards
              • Teaches kids about consonants and vowels
              • Breaks things down to make learning fun and easy
