12 Days of Christmas: Day 11: Stocking Stuffers that Teach

Time to Relax


On the eleventh day of Christmas, Learning that's Fun gave to me, some more handy stocking fillers from Skillbuilders

As time to Christmas ticks down, the rush to get those last minute stocking fillers is on. Today we take a look at a couple of great ideas that will make learning fun, novelty items that you don't find every day.

Connect-a-Straw
Connectastraws are great fun, for young and old! But for young children they are a great way to make meal and drink time fun. Putting together the pipes and connectors helps young toddlers develop their tow handed motor skills and for fussy eaters it can be a novel way to try new tastes and sensations.

And when the kids have gone to bed Mummy and Daddy can use them for a nice cocktail after a big Christmas Dinner. A pack of connectastraws on Skillbuilders' online store sells for $20.95

And after that big day of presents and play and eating and running about, the Let's Imagine set of CDs will be just the thing to send the children off to sleep. These are an Australian series of children's relaxation CDs which encourage visualisation & imagination to help children relax, de-stress, build resilience and boost self-esteem. 

When I listened to the CD, I fell asleep right at the part where the narrator was guiding me through the forest and came across a glistening river that went all the way out to sea, washing away all my worries and problems. I never made it to the Crystal Castle! hahaha.


There are 4 discs in the full set:

* A Bush Adventure
* The Crystal Castle
* Journey Through Time
* Fun & Fantasy

Beautiful Australian imagery and narration to help your child relax and drift off into a peaceful sleep.

$25 each
