Just a few weeks ago, I read a post about a new educational and fun way to learn.
Who came with the idea?…Mama Jenn!!!
What is it about? …The education Cubes are just photos blocks which you can insert whatever educational picture you want and have fun learning, playing and using your imagination. (You can find a BETTER description at the Education Cubes Blog)
How can I start? Join the Education Cubes members only site to have access to lots of insert cards.
So I decided to try them with Pinky, since she loves to learn in a fun way. I filled out the membership and ordered my blocks….Everything was fast!!!
I printed out some activities from the Education Cubes website and let my daughter discover them…..Here is her face when she saw them:
“Oh, wao!!!
I started with matching numbers and counting….We read The Nutcracker, I found those here at The activity mom but Education cubes have different counters like Christmas trees, Santas, etc. Also, printed the number until 12. Therefore, we have two blocks with numbers and two blocks with counters.
And after a little bit of time inspecting her new toy, the action began!!
Throw them!!! High, low, higher, to the left, to the right, up, down
(Don’t worry they are safe! No bobos, at least for mommy)
Count!!!- One nutcracker
Match! Pinky is just 25 months old- How I used them?: She threw the block with the pictures and then count how many were….after that I asked her if she could find that number in the other block…Finally, she matched them!
As you can see: One Nutcracker with number one…..6 nutcrackers with number 6!
I tried the other way (get a number first and count the pictures second) but it was too difficult for her. Maybe in a few more months!
Also, you can have a free playtime….under mommy’s desk!
We had so much fun! Lets see what is our next adventure???
Blessings!

Para mis paisanos hispanos!!!
Esta idea de aprender y jugar a la vez con estos bloques ha sido idea de Mama Jenn (visita su blog para muchas mas). Los ha llamado Education Cubes, los cuales constan de bloques suaves para insertar fotografias, sin embargo, puedes colocar tarjetas con temas que quieras ensenarle a tu nino. En su sitio para miembros solamente puedes encontrar tarjetas ya hechas, las cuales solo tienes que imprimir y colocar dentro de cada compartimiento. Yo lo use con mi nena de 2 a~os y le encanto….practicamos los numeros y a contar ademas de que jugamos en cantidad! Ya tengo varias ideas mas para experimentar como: practicar palabras en ingles, espanol y frances, colores, estaciones, etc.
