Why Smartmax is the Best Magnetic Kit For Toddlers & Preschoolers – Timberdoodle Vodcast #0083

From Timberdoodle.com:
SmartMax Magnetic Discovery Building Sets are multifaceted magnetic construction kits that include exceptionally powerful magnets permanently encapsulated inside chunky, multicolored bars. This set includes long, short and curved bars, plus plum-sized (1.8″ diameter) lightweight metal balls sized just right for little hands to manipulate. With such a variety of pieces, toddlers can create countless 2-D or 3-D objects while exploring magnetism and gravity in a safe way.

What sets SmartMax Extreme apart from mediocre jumbo magnet sets is not just their excellent design but more so their colorfully illustrated guide that will help you teach your little ones about magnets, what they are and how they work. There are toddler-appropriate experiments and lots of models to imitate. From simple recognition of the different pieces and their colors to the growing complexity of the models, your toddler’s reasoning and manipulative skills will be put to the test for years to come.

What is a Kid-O A to Z Magnatab Magnetic Writing Tablet? Timberdoodle’s Vodcast #0042

Magnatab Magnetic Writing Tablet makes it easier to help your child learn to write their letters using two approaches in a fun, clean and safe way.

From Timberdoodle.com:
A to Z Magnatab is the ideal tool to help your child focus on forming letters correctly and consistently. Your child will eagerly trace each letter with the magnetic stylus just to see and hear the little metal balls snap to the surface to make the letter. Then, to further help him develop a feel for each letter, lightly trace over the letters with the tip of a finger and the metal balls clatter back into the A to Z Magnatab base. One tool, two approaches to teach young children how to write their alphabet.

What’s So Awesome About Flik-Flack Watches? – Timberdoodle Homeschool Vodcast #0040

How do you convince a homeschool supply company to sell watches?

  1. Make the best watches available, tough and accurate.
  2. Machine washable is a great touch.
  3. Don’t forget lovely feminine designs for girls and rugged, manly designs for boys.
  4. Don’t go one-size-fits-none, but tailor your watch sizes for the ages of the children who will wear them. (Cute Size 3+, Preschool Size 5+, and Full Size 7+)
  5. Most importantly, build in features that teach time-telling even for little people.
  6. Back your watches with a guarantee as good as your name. If a watch breaks, replace it eagerly and without complaint.

With The Learning Tower, Toddlers Can Safely Reach Your Counters! – Timberdoodle Homeschool Vodcast #0037

The Learning Tower claims to hold 500 lbs, so Abel & Nehemiah take it to the warehouse to test that claim. (It passes.) What a great way to safely get your little helpers up high enough to see and help!

The Learning Tower

Little Partners Learning Tower – Because It’s More Than a Kitchen
It’s not just a kitchen. It is their chemistry laboratory, their home economics department, their art studio, as well as the neonatal unit for bathing their baby dolls. And they want to be able to fully use it without standing chin held high on tiptoes or wobbling on daddy’s office chair.

It’s Where the Real Action Happens
Schoolbooks may be in the library, but the real action happens in the kitchen. Now your toddlers can be a part of it with the Little Partners Learning Tower. Designed for children 18 months to 6 years old, the platform can be quickly adjusted as they grow to enable children at any stage to be at the right height to ensure their safety. The Learning Tower, with its well-built, non-tip construction, is easy for even the youngest walker to climb into. Read the rest on our website at Timberdoodle.com here.
