Free Potty Training Reward Charts- Dora, Diego and more!

Randa — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 12:39:34 +0000

Having recently come through the ups and downs of potty training, I know how helpful potty training charts can be. They’re even more helpful when they have fun characters on them to help encourage your child. The Potty Training Concepts site has a good selection of charts that you can print for free! They have several characters to choose from, including Dora, Diego, Thomas the Train, Disney Princesses, Cars, Blue’s Clues, as well as several generic charts designed so you can put your child’s picture on them.

They have a nice selection of printable stickers as well that would be great for printing on sticker paper, or even on regular paper and use the recipe for glue they have provided.

Happy Potty Training!

Randa — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 13:09:36 +0000

From just pure entertainment to educational games, there are zillions of free online game sites available to keep kids entertained and learning while having fun. Here are what I think are the best sites for online games (in no particular order):

Noggin and Nick Jr

Targeted to the preschool age to 6-7 years old, Noggin and Nick Jr have adventure, dress-up, art and learning games categorized by show and also by game type and age. All their favorite characters are represented, including Dora, Diego, Wubbzy, Kai-lan, Wonder Pets, Max & Ruby, Backyardigans, Blue’s Clues and more.

UpToTen

There are over 1,000 free games on this site categorized by age range, game type and skills being developed while playing the games. This is a very entertaining site featuring characters named Boowa & Kwala.

Starfall

This is an excellent educational site focusing mainly on helping kids learn to read and practice reading skills. The site is set up so kids can progress from learning their letters and sounds, to putting together words and sentences, all in such a fun way, they don’t realize they’re learning at all!

PBSKids

With games from all the PBS kids shows, this site has games a wide age range will enjoy, with varying difficulty levels.

Disney Games

This site will appeal to kids of all ages, focusing mostly on older kids, with games from movies and TV shows. You can search for games by type, character name, and genre as well as alphbetically.

Yahoo Kids

Definitely targeted to older kids, Yahoo has lots of arcade, board & tile games, games from tv shows, word games. It’s a little more difficult to navigate than the other sites but lots of fun stuff to be found!

‘Tis the season for resurrection, not only in nature, but primarily in the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus on Easter Sunday. Easter eggs are always one of the highlights of the holiday for kids, and there are lots of other fun holiday activities that make this time of year special. Here are some of my favorites this year:

13 Creative Ways to Dye and Decorate Easter Eggs (a very popular post from last year that has been recently featured on BeliefNet)

Totally cute Pipe Cleaner Finger Puppets – be sure to browse around this site- lots of good stuff.

Resurrection Eggs – bringing the focus back to the “reason for the season”.

Printable Easter Mazes from Animal Jr.

Huge list of Easter activities and coloring sheets

And… don’t forget to have a Peep War or two: When toothpicks are inserted into the sides of two marshmallow peeps which are facing each other in a microwave. When the microwave is turned on, the peeps swell and each peep’s toothpick will poke the other peep. The peep that does not explode is the winner!

Kideo Player- safe YouTube video watching for kids

Randa — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 16:39:10 +0000

My son enjoys watching YouTube videos, but unfortunately you can’t leave kids alone with YouTube because you never know what they’re going to click on and end up watching. I was excited when I found out about the Kideo Player because it’s all the fun of YouTube with none of the junk! The videos play automatically and if the current one isn’t entertaining, all the kids have to do is hit the space bar to go to the next video. ( I have found that every once in a while the player seems to get “hung” and you have to reload the page, but if your child knows how to use the mouse it’s easy to show them where the refresh button is.)
