Books to Read and Products to try this - B Week

Books start with the letter B. It's a great thing to read to your children and teach them the joy of reading. This B week, you can make a book. Cut out pictures from a magazine and pate them on construction paper. Punch a hole at the corner of each page. Attach a string. Then talk about a book. Make up your own story. Moms can write what the child says under each page.

Also, you can make a bookmark for your books this week. Cut a 2" by 6" piece of construction paper. Let your children decorate it with crayons, paint or cutouts. Use in children's Bible to mark their place.

You can buy some new books or go to the Library and check out some. Here are a couple of our favorite ones.

Products:

Hasbro Playskool Busy Ball Popper - My 10 month old loves this toy. It is so fun for him to see the balls blow up and down.

Motorized Bubble Blower - Go out and buy some bubbles or blow bubbles if you already have them. This bubble blower may make your job a lot easier. My kids love bubbles and can play with them for hours. They have so much fun popping the bubbles.

Little Tykes Jump and Slide Bouncer: This product has been a lifesaver. It allows my boys to get their energy out and safely bounce.

Moose Mountain 100 Balls with Duffel Bag - Create a ball pit. If you don't have one, buy the balls and put them in your inflatable pool. Since it's cold out, your probably not using the pool so why not bring it inside and fill it with Balls and you have your own ball pit.

Baby Bjorn Baby Carrier - Any of these will work. Just pick the color you like. This is by far the easiest carrier to put on and take off. I still use it since my children like to be held so much. I took it with me to Disney and my son even slept in it.
