Now don't get me wrong, I LOVE being a SAHM, but I certainly miss teaching. My poor child, family's children, and friends' kids...all they'll want is a no brainier toy and I'll be the one smiling handing them an encyclopedia! (Do they even still make those???)
My sweet nephew turned 2 this past month and I was in a stupor as of what hip fun toy to get a 2 year old boy. Then I stumbled upon www.pintsizeproductions.com. BINGO!
I was able to make a personalized repetition board book complete with my own pictures! (Ummmm, awesome isn't a good enough word to describe how this made me feel, so let's go with stupendous actually) Basically, a repetition (or repetion of phrase) book is where the order of the words is repeated making the reading very predictable and therefore easy to read. And even furthermore FUN to read!
So I made a book titled Things Daniel Loves (Daniel will be his alias) and for each page I put a picture of him with one of his favorite things with the sentence reading "I love ________"
This was done for each page and each page had a different thing/activity with its coordinating picture. I just uploaded the photos I wanted and typed in exactly what I wanted it to say.
The company was great-I had never heard of them before so I was taking a shot in the dark, you know...ordering and making it on-line (and crossing my fingers I wouldn't end up in People's Court suing them for payment of a never delivered purchase or getting someone else's book titled "My Favorite Psycho Things to Do") but it was super easy and super fun to make! They have different options to choose from and I got my order within at least a week from ordering it!
It was a big hit, and he is having a blast reading it!
God, don't you just love developing literate minds??? It's pure..........stupendousness!
