The WebKinz Jr products for ages 3-6 years old

I wanted to share a product for children between the ages of 3 and 6 years old. WebKinz is a big hit in our home with my 2 older children. They couldn't understand why they couldn't have a WebKinz Jr. I couldn't help but to laugh.

I wanted to see what other moms thought of the product and get their input. I invited a few of my friends in my moms group over with their children to see what they thought. A few asked what is a WebKinz. What do you do with the tag? It is a soft and cuddly stuffed animal with a access code to the WebKinz website. Children can play on the educational website to learn and play at the same time.

We all sat down and watched a DVD and showed a sneak peek of what they can experience on the WebKinz Jr. website. My son loved the DVD so much, we have to watch it over and over again. I bet we have watched it at least 10 times already. The music CD is also a big hit in our car!

This product is geared to pre-school aged children. They can log on the computer (with their parents help of course) and learn their ABC's, colors, shapes all through a educated learning software.


This would make a great gift for any child on your holiday gift giving list. My son, Caleb loves his new giraffe. He is carrying him where ever he goes. If you are interested in finding out more about this product, you can visit http://www.webkinzjr.com/.

Trust your motherly instincts

My husband and I started to notice our youngest wasn't speaking as much as the other 3 by 18 months. The pediatrician said, "let's see how he is at 24 months." I started to do some research and talking with other moms. I found a great program in the Tampa Bay Area for children under the age of 3. It is called Early Steps. After few phone calls, I had a in home visit scheduled with a counselor to come and ask questions while observing my 22 month old. She determined that he meet the criteria to have a formal evaluation.

We went on 3/17/10 and after a hour of testing my 22 month old, the answer was in. He was right on track with motor skills, cognative, receptive communication but scored very low on verbal communication. I knew that in my heart. He is a very smart child and we have a very limited conversation between us throughout the day, but he understands EVERYTHING I say to him. A mother never wants to think something could be wrong, but i was glad I pursued it. He doesn't have anything life threatening by any mean, but I am so thankful that there is a program that will help us get Caleb on track when the insurance company will not pay for speech theraphy.

We start tomorrow with our first 1 hour session. We are looking forward to our little one to start spilling the words out in the very near future.

Never doubt yourself as a parent. As silly as it many seem, you may have your finger on a big or small problem that can be resolved or corrected. If it turns out to be nothing, that is a wonderful thing to.
