Use Playtime as Learning Time!
Jumpstart.com has released a fabulous new Wii game!
And you do just that. You play and gather fun things and when you have enough.. you get to float away on a hot air balloon, Dorothy Style! And of course all there is so much learning while they are playing they hardly realize what they are getting out of it! #learnNplay baby!
My 8yrold's favorite part is the fashion show. {No wonder, I think}, she has been creating American Girl Doll dress up clothes for nearly 2 years now. She's a regular fashion designer diva these days!
The 5yrold prefers... um. Everything. I asked him and he couldn't decide. He is all about numbers right now.. so the math games rock. But he is seriously on the cusp of reading, so the library part is perfect!
And they all like the music!
What does mom likes the best? That they barely realize they are learning. Numbers, letters, shapes, music.... what could be better? Well besides brownies?
And Guess what!

Here's how my family escapes....
On Sunday nights The Dad figure bakes cookies with the kids. They make a big giant mess and I get to stay OUT of the way. They learn: measuring, the importance of Dad time, and just how many chocolate chips they can pilfer before dad notices.
Another Dad activity is carving pumpkins. If it's left to mom, they get a bagful of markers to decorate it. With Dad it's all knives and designs and gross insides! They learn: Dad is awesome, big knives are sharp and sometimes make dad bleed, and pretending to blow chunks while holding pumpkin guts in your hand is hilarious!
