Book Depository Books!

I just have to post this you will have an idea on what will happen if you order books from Book Depository.

As you all know, I recently join as an affiliate in Amazon UK and Book Depository.  I earn a small amount of commission whenever you purchase materials using the links I share in my blog.  Don't worry, this does not affect the prices of the materials.  I don't usually purchase books as we have  a really really good library here.  But over the years of patronizing our library, there are also some books that my son wishes to read but are not available in the library.

Recently, I convinced myself to try Book Depository and purchase a few books for the boys.  The goodnews about this is that IT'S FREE DELIVERY! Yes! Try checking out your country if they offer FREE DELIVERY to your place!  After 10 working days, the books arrived and behold!

I was so surprise to learn that they pack each book individually!! How cool is that??

And they pack it in a way that the book is really secured and protected.

 

Look at my boys!! They're so excited to see what's inside those brown covers :)

And another thing that made me so happy are these free bookmarks!! They're so cute! They come in each book you purchase. 

I'm so happy with Book Depository.  This is where I'm going to purchase books from now on (so I can collect the bookmarks hihihi) and for other materials and books that are not available in Book Depository, I'll have it with Amazon.

PS. This is NOT paid post.  I am writing this because I am happy with their service (FREE DELIVERY and books arrived promptly!).

***For the information on the books that we're using expect a link to Book Depository or Amazon.

Happy Sunday!

FREE Butterfly Definition and Nomenclature Cards

Hello there!! Well here it is! According to the result of my "query" most of my readers wanted to have free Butterfly Cards... and as promised I am publishing it today together with the rest of my insect learning packs (available for purchase from my shop).

Now all you have to do is click the image below for the link.  I am really hoping that you will like it.  If you spot an error, feel free to send me a message or note and I will correct it ASAP.  The book that we are reading inline with this study is Are You a Butterfly (Book Depository).  I decided to give a little review of the books that we're using next week once we're done with this unit.  The butterfly and insect figures that we are using are from Safari Ltd Insects TOOB and Safari Ltd Butterflies TOOB. For the card holder you can check this Cards Display Box from Amazon US.

Next week, we'll be looking into the world of Arthropods!

Remember our study of the Animal Kingdom? And the Mollusc (Snail)? We're exploring these animals one by one to help Mavi familiarize with the groups and learn which animals belong to each group, their differences etc.

So next, we'll have insects, then crustaceans...and so on.

Here are the materials we'll be using for our Insect Study.  I have prepared them already ahead of time so I could save time and we might go back to the park to observe some insects in the pond or do a nature walk around our estate to look for bugs and ants.  If you are interested, click the images below to view details of each material or click the links below.

• The Ant Learning Pack
• The Caterpillar Learning Pack
• The Grasshopper Learning Pack
• The Insect Learning Pack

And below is a list of the books that we are using:

• Are You an Ant
• Are You a Grasshopper
• Are You a Bee
• Are You a Butterfly

Keep visiting the blog or keep liking/commenting/sharing my Facebook posts so you'll receive updates of my freebies, because I'll be sharing again a free file next week.

Well, that's all for now.  Have a lovely weekend!

Animals and their Habitats (Part One)

In this post I'll present how we conducted our Animal Habitats study at home.

Vito

Hello everyone! Say hello to the smallest member of our family... Vito. That's his blog name.  I'd like to call him that because unlike his big brother Mavi, Vito is bossy and demanding, like much of a Don LOL.

  

Well, our little Don Vito has always been with us during our lessons.  Just sitting there in his Mamas & Papas Baby Snug (Green) Amazon UK (Amazon US), watching, observing and listening to our discussions.

And his big brother loves it that he's around.  Mavi adores him.

But now that he's in the "curious" stage, I started giving him baby activities, starting with those that can develop his fine motor skills.

 

And most importantly, I have to train him how to love the outdoors.

Exciting times ahead for our little Don Vito, Mavi and I!
