Before becoming an “over-educated” stay-at-home mom (as she likes to put it), Jessica was a teacher. These days you can find her either chasing after her lively kindergartener and toddler or cooking something in the kitchen.

Using a Tots Art Start Kit to Foster Toddler Creativity

March 14, 2012 at 10:35 | Posted in ALEX Blogger Bulletin, ALEX Toys, Kid's Arts & Crafts | 2 Comments

It’s sometimes hard to get all the way through an art project with a toddler.  My 2 ½ year old daughter is constantly bubbling over with excitement about wanting to do “a project”, but it’s not always easy to come up with something appropriate to her level of fine motor skills as well as something that can be done from start to finish in 15-20 minutes, or before she loses interest.

Enter Tots Art Start kit from ALEX.

In this box are the makings of 6 art activities – some shaped pieces of paper for decorating, a little baggie with some shredded paper for collaging, assorted tissue papers and three triangular easy grip crayons, assorted large and small sticker circles, and two frames with peel and stick paper centers.

You know the fat kid in school? There’s always one. Well, when I was young, it was me. Needless to say, the weight made my childhood a little, well, challenging, and I struggled into my adolescence as well. Thankfully, with some love, support and guidance, I was able to lose over a hundred pounds in my twenties by sticking to a healthy food plan, and have kept the weight off for almost a decade.

Children are emotional beings. Often they are too young and immature to understand the feelings they are having. They may lash out or have a meltdown simply because they aren’t able to identify and express their emotions. As parents, it’s our job to teach our children about their emotions, how to handle them, and how to be sensitive to the emotions of others. There are several ways you can instill these important skills in your children. Continue Reading Teaching Children About Emotions…

Happy Random Acts of Kindness Day!

About ten years ago, the book “Pay it Forward” put the value of kindness into perspective. The gist, devised by a young boy, was simple: Perform an act of kindness for three people, expecting nothing in return except that they “Pay it Forward” to three more people. The system, if followed correctly, could quickly spread kindness to global proportions.

Many were inspired by this story, which was later made into a motion picture. A “Random Acts of Kindness Day” has been initiated around the world.
