We encourage our boys to read with us every night, but sometimes kids just don't always want to sit and read a book. We make up stories, we read to them, our older son will read to us, etc. It sometimes does get a little tedious, and this is coming from someone who can devour a book with her eyes and mind in a weekend.
Don't Let Their Education Slip Away
With summer now here, the “summer slide” is supposedly said to reduce the reading ability in children. Imagine a slow erasure of all of the wonderful knowledge that your kiddos learned throughout the school year. Reading, writing, drawing, and even playing can prevent this decline from happening. As parents who work, who work from home, who stay home with the children -- all walks of parenting roles -- it's our job to still keep our kiddos engaged.
Books and Toys Are OK in my Book!
We love toys over here and pairing the two can make for some interesting imaginative play. Recently we reviewed a fabulous book based off of the new and old Toy Story 4 characters, Woody’s Augmented Reality Adventure. Check out that blog review and demo video to get a closer look.
