Djeco Collages For Little Ones Art Kit Djeco Collages for Little Ones features four top-quality, whimsical collages to assemble and display. Not only are collages a very age appropriate artistic expression, Djeco Collages Kit has the fantastic benefit of teaching direction following. I've never worked with a child this age that wouldn't benefit from practice in this area! Of course, you, dad, and even the grandparents will be thrilled with the end result, too, truly wall-worthy collages that will add whimsy and color to any currently drab space!

Reading The Reading Lesson is ideal for this age with its easy pace, large text, and adorable line drawings. The logical progression of using both phonics and developmentally-appropriate sight-words without all the rules makes this program successful for these beginning readers. This is a very appealing program that doesn't take much time to implement. As soon as your child is ready, introduce the Now I'm Reading books--typically a great treat for this age! Of course, you'll want to continue supplementing this with read-alouds from your local library or family collection. These form the foundation for great discussions and allow your child to absorb your own love of reading.

Language Arts When you think of grammar, do you think of endless memorization and lengthy, tedious workbooks, suitable only for the most meticulous older student? If so, you're not thinking of Language Lessons! Language Lessons is the finest implementation of the Charlotte Mason method of instruction we've seen. The short daily lesson may include a picture study of a full-color painting, basic phonics instruction, poetry appreciation, narration, or copy work. It is a great way to cultivate language skills in your youngster, even as he learns to read. A Reason for Writing's colorful, kid-friendly format will introduce handwriting skills with individual letter practice on full-color pages and a creation-based coloring page for each letter.

Kid-O a to z Magnatab Magnetic Writing Tablet a to z Magnatab is the ideal tool to help your child focus on forming letters correctly and consistently. Your child will eagerly trace each letter with the magnetic stylus just to see and hear the little metal balls snap to the surface to make the letter. Then, to further help him develop a feel for each letter, lightly trace over the letters with the tip of a finger and the metal balls clatter back into the a to z Magnatab base. One tool, two approaches to teach young children how to write the alphabet.

Beginning Geography Based on National Geography Standards, Beginning Geography makes it super-easy to introduce your kindergartner to important geography concepts and vocabulary. Best of all? These are exercises your child will actually enjoy doing.

The Usborne Sticker Dressing Knights and Soldiers I have yet to meet a young man who would not be fascinated by warriors past and present. Nor have I found a little lady who does not delight in the dressing of her playthings, be they baby dolls, paper dolls, or even the family pet. That makes the Sticker Dressing… series the perfect fit for a Kindergartener as a friendly and fascinating introduction to history. After all, if your child understands the warriors of different times, he or she will have a tremendously better grasp of wars, and thus of history itself. From ancient Greek soldiers to knights, First World War pilots to UN Peacekeepers, your children will love dressing the soldiers in these slice-of-history sticker books. The nearly two-hundred colorful stickers in Sticker Dressing Knights and one-hundred-eighty stickers in Sticker Dressing Soldiers include not only military uniforms but also typical accessories like weapons or tools.

What Your Kindergartner Needs to Know What Your Kindergartner Needs to Know emphasizes reading aloud to your child and also has ideas for a wide variety of art, math, music, and science activities to do with your kindergartner. It includes twenty nuggets of history located in the middle of the book. These short stories about famous figures or simple synopses of USA history will help your child continue to develop the basics of a historical perspective and prepare him for jumping into a formal history program next year. You will find What Your Kindergartner Needs to Know to be a very helpful resource.

Mathematical Reasoning A Kindergarten With 250 pages of quick, straightforward problems to build Mathematical Reasoning A Kindergarten in kindergartners, these highly motivational activities will take your child beyond mere drill work by using step-by-step, discussion-based problem solving. Concepts spiral gradually, so that children do not forget as they go, and are written to the standards of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.

Inchimals From the one-inch ladybug cube to the twelve-inch giraffe rod, Inchimals by Fat Brain Toys are all you'll need to introduce your young child to math. Inchimals comes with 100 write-on/wipe-off math puzzles in a spiral-bound book that explores counting, number value and recognition, addition, subtraction, equivalent sums, and multiple numbers. The colorful activities in the Inchimals book are designed to increase in difficulty so that your child will be challenged, but not overwhelmed, as he progresses through the book.

Geopuzzles Using Geopuzzles, your kindergartner can learn with amazing accuracy the countries of Europe, Africa, Latin America, and Asia, as well as the states of the USA, with no effort on your part. Geopuzzle pieces are shaped like individual countries or states, so children learn as they put the puzzles together. Jumbo-sized and brightly-colored, Geopuzzle pieces are easy for chubby hands to manipulate. As children assemble the puzzles, they learn not only each country's name, shape, and capital, but where the country is located and how the entire continent fits together; all the while, they are building their thinking skills, problem-solving skills, and spatial awareness.

My First Super Science Kit or Big Bag of Science We have two fantastic options for Kindergarten Science. Available for immediate shipment is the ever-popular Big Bag of Science. With over 70 amazing experiments to enjoy with your child, this is a Timberdoodle favorite for a reason! The same company is currently producing a similar set, with simpler experiments designed for a younger child. (Ages 4-8) If you don't mind waiting until fall for My First Super Science Kit then you and your child will love it. However, if you want more rigorous experiments or just to start right away, select Big Bag of Science when you order. (Packages with My First Super Science Kit will ship immediately without the science kit, and we'll ship that backorder just as soon as it arrives here.)

Faber Castelle Jumbo Pencil 2-pack A standard-sized pencil is often difficult for tiny, chubby fingers to grasp. These Jumbo Pencils make gripping easier with their large surface area. Plus, they are made by the highly-reputed Faber-Castelle, so you know that the quality is far above par.

Developing the Early Learner Children need to be taught how to think and how to reason, and the sooner the better, as 75% of a child's IQ will be developed before seven years of age. Developing the Early Learner fleshes out all four fundamental perception skills--visual, auditory, motor, and comprehension--via a gently progressive sequence of enjoyable activities. Very easy to use, this series of workbooks helps you discover and overcome your children's learning weaknesses while building their strengths. One test found that 95% of children who took the program significantly increased in their learning abilities!
