Lace & Link Lowercase Letters – My Fathers World
Big 4" letters each come in their own linking puzzle frame. Hop, skip, and jump
on these durable, washable letters. Lace them to reinforce letter shapes.
Includes 10 laces, suggested activity sheet all in a handy plastic tub.
AK Testimonial - “If you are looking to teach your kids about letters, reading,
vowels, or consonants, this is a great learning tool. This is one of the first
lower case learning aids available. There are many games we play, but our
favorite is taking the letters and scattering them around the house. I give
them a hint about which letter (or word) I want them to find and off they go.
Not only do they learn, they get their energy out while searching for each
letter. As they go up and down the stairs and around the house, I can spend
one-on-one time helping my oldest with her school work. By the time all the
letters are found, they are tired and everyone is happy.”
Discount: The product is sold through a distributor that is already offering the
product at a reduced price through the website.

The safe Side
Julie Clark, founder of Baby Einstein and John Walsh, host of
America’s Most Wanted, have created The Safe Side to give kids a super-fun way
to learn important safety information and to provide parents with simple and
engaging ways to discuss both personal safety and internet safety. These
award-winning, laugh-out-loud shows teach kids how to avoid dangerous
situations both on the street and on the internet. Full of important “Hot
Tips”, these videos are presented with humor that will empower kids to make
smart decisions. Perfect for elementary school-aged kids.
AK Testimonial: My kids have watched this movie over and over. It
is fun and entertaining, but also teaches valuable lessons that have been
carefully put together. Now my kids wait for their Safe Side Adult to be there
before opening the front door, ask me if someone is a “don’t know”. Safe Side
even offers a new DVD on internet safety. We can’t wait to see it! This DVD
takes the ambiguity of “don’t talk to strangers” and puts it in a fun, clear,
and straight forward manner that kids understand and can apply in their daily
lives.
