Shushybye Book and CD -CLOSED-Ends4/25

I remembered when I was pregnant with my little Sophia, I always sat in the pink rocking chair holding a book in my hand and started to read to her each and every night. The minute I felt that first kick, I knew deep inside my heart that she would love to read books. That is why I still read a book to Sophia each night before bedtime with some classical music afterwards to calm her down. A good way to make her feel at ease.

I was extremely excited, when I was given the opportunity to review both The Shushybye Close Your Eyes Book and the Shushybye Goodnight Deluxe Edition CD. Sophia loves reading and listening to music, so I was quite anxious to see her reaction. After a nice warm bath, we went to her room and sat on her bed with her stuffed animals surrounding her and I started to read the Shushybye Close Your Eyes book. While reading the book, Sophia was quite fascinated with the colorful pictures and paid attention on each story page. The book has a beautiful hardcover and it also glows in the dark. Not only is it fun and enjoyable to read, it also had an audio cd available. He/she can sit and listen to the book being read to them on CD. Great for each toddler or pre-schooler to read before bedtime. Sophia truly enjoyed this book.

Shushybye Close Your Eyes book is about "Shushies who make dreams for children that are sent to them as they fall asleep. Living in such SHUSHYBYE villages as Nap Valley, Snore Shore, Yawn Island and Slumber Heights, the Shushies – led by Snoozles, Dozie and Zeez – place their dreams in Dream Boxes that are sent to sleeping children via the Shushybye Train driven by Conductor McCloud"

There are times when Sophia does not want to go sleep, so we always have an alternative method, which is going for a car ride. So, this particular evening Sophia did not feel the need to sleep immediately and that is when we decided to play the Shushybye Goodnight Deluxe Edition CD in the car. Immediately there was silence in the car and it surely calmed her down. She started to hum to the melody and soon after Sophia was in Shushybye World. She fell fast asleep and we went back home. Just a great way to put a little one to sleep.

"Shushybye is a preschool entertainment and lifestyle brand designed to inspire children to look forward to sleep time and help parents prepare their children for sleep in a fun and loving way that encourages imagination. Importantly, Shushybye helps create healthful sleep habits for toddlers and preschoolers"

Tissue Paper Butterfly

Today, was a perfect day to work on a wonderful craft idea. Sophia was excited to make some crafts, so I decided why not. Now, I have to put my thinking hat on. We are going to make a Tissue Paper Butterfly. This is a fun project where your little ones can use their fingers and create many beautiful projects. Now, let us start on our fun Tissue Paper Butterfly.

Supplies:

Tissue Paper (Any colors you want)

Construction Paper

Scissors

Pencil

Glue

Newspaper/or cloth

Get your construction paper and ask your little one what they want you to draw for them. If they want to draw something on their own, that will be great too. You can also use printables if you want, which might be easier on you, but Sophia wanted me to draw a butterfly, so I did.

Reach for the tissue paper and start cutting them into strips, then you cut them approximately into 2-inch squares.

Next, crumple the colorful tissue papers into balls. Sophia had a great time crumpling the tissue papers and wanted to keep doing that over and over again.

Then, get your butterfly drawing and apply some glue on top of it.

Grab your crumpled up tissue and glue them on the butterfly drawing. Repeat the process until the butterfly or drawing is fully covered.

Voila! Now, you have created beautiful project where your little once will love. Enjoy and I would love to read your wonderful comments!

Sincerely,

Juno Baby DVD Review and Giveaway-CLOSED

You already know that our family loves and enjoys music. Don't get surprised, I enjoy each and every show or music my little one watches or listens too. We sing along with most of the songs. Some of her favorite shows are the Fresh Beat Band, Max and Ruby, Madeline, Barbie and more.

So, you can imagine how I felt when I was given the opportunity to review Juno Baby DVD. Not only was I excited to review it, but I was even more excited for Sophia to see it as well. She was intrigued and wanted to watch it again and again.

Now, let me tell you a little more about Juno Baby and how it captured my little one's attention by storm. Juno Baby is a Emmy Award-Winning DVD which opens the door to beautiful classical orchestra music for children around the world. Belinda Takahashi, Ph.D., is the co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of Juno Baby and also a professional composer. The classical sound of music is not only beautiful and engaging, but written for developing young minds. I truly love the fact that not only are they available in English but Juno Baby DVD and CD's are also available in Spanish and French. It gives everyone the chance to enjoy music everywhere around the world.

Juno Baby created a magnificent program called The One For All Program. Here is a little more about the program: "Integral to our success as a company is our mission to give the gift of music to young children everywhere. That’s why we launched the Juno Baby One For All Program. For every Juno Baby DVD, CD or book purchased by you, Juno Baby donates a like product to a child who otherwise cannot afford to purchase one. We believe so strongly that beautiful music enriches life that we have partnered with social service agencies and children’s organizations around the globe to help us bring beautiful, orchestral music to all children. So remember: Every time a Juno Baby song or story lights up your child’s face, because of you, it is doing the same for a child less fortunate than yours"

"Our goal is to give away 1 million DVDs, CDs and books in 2010. We encourage you to continue to check in with us to see how we are all coming in achieving this goal" Such a great program to that gives back to the community.

We had the opportunity to review a great DVD, Indie's Great Teddy Bear Hunt. It magically takes your child on a musical adventure through nature to find Indie's Teddy Bear. It teaches children to learn how to use clues and their problem solving skills at each secret location. It is geared towards ages 18 months-4.5, which is a broad range. The characters are colorful, likable and fascinating.

After reading all this information about Juno Baby, you can now understand why my Sophia is so fascinated by Juno Baby wonderful classical sound of music. She is paying so much attention to Juno Baby that there is no way, I can get her away from the TV. She is glued to it for those 45 minutes. She even started to sing along to the songs.

They also have other DVDs and gift sets with various DVD/CD combination available on Juno Baby website. Sophia enjoys Juno Baby classical music, but I am also enjoying it as well. The music makes you want to dance, jump, giggle and sing along out loud. It is definitely a fun and educational entertainment for the young and young at heart.
