We had a great Christmas at our house! Love Bug and her siblings really enjoyed the day.
It's easy to shop for Love Bug, because she loves so many educational toys and games, and she LOVES books! She can read all her letters, but can't actually read yet. Here she is "reading" a book she got for Christmas that she's had read to her about 15 times now.
She also got these fun things for Christmas and we are excited to add them to our Tot School this year.
Stack and smile blocks- we can't wait to do some Education Cubes activities with them!
Melissa and Doug Sushi set- Love Bug is a foodie. She and her dolls will have a lot of fun with this set. AND Love Bug is learning about different cultures and foods in tot school, so this goes well with it.
I know by now you're wondering if I get any kick back from Melissa and Doug. I WISH! I do love their toys and games.
Lakeshore learning Pick a Berry Word Building Game
I am one lucky duck to have a LSL near my home. My wallet, not so lucky. But clearanced learning toys are my dream, and this place has them!
This was our fun find. It's too advanced for Love Bug to use as designed right now, but we are using it for letter recognition, especially lower case letters; matching letters, taking turns, etc. Jedi uses it with us and its just perfect for testing him on his spelling words.
We also got some new books this year and will be featuring them at some point in our school in 2012.
Hope you had a happy holiday season!!

Learning Resources Super Sorting Pie
This was a gift from Love Bug's grandma. We are so excited about it! Love Bug "bakes" regularly, and a pie that also teaches her things**** Perfect ****.
Melissa and Doug Ice Cream Scoop Set
This was a special treat that we got for participating in Melissa and Doug's North "Pole".
We love it! Magnetic scoops of ice cream was a brilliant idea! Love Bug is still trying to get the hang of the scooping and stacking and its really challenging her motor skills.
Melissa and Doug Slice and Bake cookie set
We first saw this set when we were picking out a gift for a friend. Love Bug REALLY wanted it (baker....). Her other grandparents gave it to her for Christmas. She is learning to sort by color and decorations. She's learning to manipulate the spatula to pick up the cookies, and learning to share and do nice things for others (and she doesn't even know it!)
