Playtime Fun with GALT Toys

We received product in exchange for this post, but all opinions are my own. Affiliate links are included.

I don't think that playtime should always be educational. While I know some people do, I think kids should be able to just run around and be crazy sometimes. With that being said, I do believe that education is an important aspect of play. We've found some great products from GALT Toys that really bring out the fun, but sneak a little learning in there too.

As you know, Charlie is really working on his alphabet skills at preschool (and home) and loves anything he can do with them!

With an 8 month old, we go through quite a few jars of baby food. I have a lot of great plans for the jars, but not so many for the lids. Then I thought of a great little craft that is *gasp* educational too!

I know it seems like summer just started, but soon enough kids will be heading back to school. This fall, Charlie will start Pre-School at the church two days a week, two and a half hours a day. It’s a great start for him.

Although he won’t need a lunch bag this year, zulily has some pretty awesome lunch and snack supplies. Look how cute some of this stuff is. There’s definitely something for your pre-schooler up through the college years!

Rachel & the TreeSchoolers need your help

To be completely honest, Charlie watches entirely too much tv. Kids these days are exposed to way more screen time than we were growing up. Here’s the kicker: Did you know that only 1 in 8 kids shows are “highly educational”?

Rachel Coleman created Signing Time with her sister Emilie. She has been nominated for an Emmy for her work on the show, which airs on public television, Nick Jr. and Netflix.

Rachel is now bringing you a family-funded program, making smart kids smarter: Rachel & the TreeSchoolers.

About Rachel & the TreeSchoolers

It is based on a complete preschool curriculum, preparing children for kindergarten. This is a show that actively engages children in learning using their favorite things: signs, games, songs, and dance. Rachel & the TreeSchoolers teaches children HOW to learn with the CORI Method (wonder, ask, learn, share).
