*ENDED* Rock -N- Learn DVD Review and Giveaway + 25% off Code!
I was given the opportunity to review the fabulous new Rock ‘N Learn Letter Sounds DVD! This was our first Rock ‘N Learn video and my girls love it! At first I was impressed purely by the fact that it kept my 4 yr. old’s attention. After time it has become one of her favorite videos and now both my girls request to watch it just about every day.
The video starts off by introducing all the letter sounds to music with an “on-screen mouth” showing how to form the sounds. Next it goes on to introduce capital and lower case letters and the differences between the two. Here is a quote from the Rock ‘N Learn site that tells what comes next…
Excitement builds as kids race the clock to say letter sounds in silly sentences before hearing the answers. Then, learners play several games to solidify their understanding of letter-sound associations that will help them read and spell. Finally, after learning some common sight words, kids feel successful reading complete sentences and short stories.
The video is about an hour long and as you can see from the image above it really holds my 4 yr. old’s attention. Even my 2 year old enjoys it and dances to the music every time we turn it on. I love that these videos are not only educational, but also fun and entertaining. The fun characters throughout the video really make it captivating.
The website gives a great description of all the different DVD options from Preschool and Kindergarten options to Phonics, Reading, Writing and all subjects in between. They even offer Science and Math videos. I can’t wait to build our collection further.
If you’d like to make a purchase yourself, they have generously offered my readers a 25% off code good on all purchases. The code is JQ7711. Take a look at the site HERE and use the code at checkout to save 25% if you see anything you like or to try them out yourself.

How to Make Valentine Slime!
It’s a cold, cold day so we decided to work on some Valentine’s activities indoors! I’ve been getting so many great ideas over at Pinterest lately we had to put some into action. So here is my tutorial for how to make Valentine Slime…
What you’ll need:
Borax (we had this as I always keep it on hand for lots of uses)
Red food coloring
Glue – we used one 4 oz. bottle from the Dollar Store (2/$1.00)
red and silver glitter
Heart shaped cookie cutters (Set of 4 for $2.88 from Walmart)
Pour whole container of glue into bowl and then fill the empty container with water and add it. Add a few drops of red food coloring and sprinkle some red and silver glitter in there. Stir it all up.
Next you add a mixture of 1 tsp. of water with 1 tsp. of Borax. Fully dissolve the Borax into the water (crush any clumps) and then add it to your glue/water mixture. It will start clumping up. I actually added another couple of teaspoons of the Borax mixture and it still left a lot of liquid. So I took the first glob out and then added another teaspoon of the Borax mixture to the remaining liquid to make another glob. You just knead it in your hands until it is the consistency you want.
There you have it! It’s that simple to make Gooey Slimy Fun!!!
It kept them entertained for about an hour. It does come off of clothes, doesn’t stick to hard surfaces or little hands and even comes out of hair. Yes, we found out the hard way because big sister got mean and stuck a big glob in the little one’s hair. It had to be rinsed out with water but no damage.
They had fun!
Happy Valentine’s Day!!!
