Kumon Gives Us Quiet (Giveaway)

November 9, 2009

As the weather begins to turn, I’ve been hunting for great indoor activities to keep the adorables entertained (and *quiet*).  And, hey, if they’re learning something during the process, it’s a little added bonus.

So I’ve stumbled on these workbooks from Kumon and I’ve been so happy with them.

Here’s just a sampling of their titles (and the ones for the giveaway):

1) My First Book of Uppercase Letters –  Fun and entertaining way to help your adorable learn to read and write uppercase alphabet letters.

2) My Book of Numbers 1-30 – Great practice for reading and writing numbers from 1 to 30.

3) Let’s Cut Paper – Develop your adorable’s fine motor control skills while having fun using scissors to cut lines and shapes.

4) Let’s Sticker and Paste – Again, work on those fine motor control skills while having fun with stickers and learning to paste with glue.

Here’s how I use them:

1) In the car (or airplane if you’re really traveling), I whip out the mazes or dot-to-dots or other fun activities.

2) In timeout (it occasionally happens), I hand out the letter practice workbooks, and when my adorable completes a couple pages, he’s free.  I usually hug a completely new kid after he’s had to concentrate to get his pages done.  Yes, I understand the ramifications of making him practice his letters as a discipline, but it works, so I’m going with it.

3) I include them in my Fun Boxes so when the adorables yelp about being bored, I hand them the box and everything is there for a little fun time.

4) In my perfect world I have this vision of after dinner while we’re still at the table, the adorables will be working in their workbooks, while the Running Man and I finish our dinners and talk about our days.  Ha!  Made you laugh…

Giveaway

So the wonderful folks at Kumon are giving one of you 4 of their best workbooks.  Just leave a comment by Friday, November 13th, and I’ll use Random.org to select a winner on Saturday, the 14th.

I’ve highlighted the books for the little adorables, but Kumon has titles for through grade school to reinforce math, reading, etc.
