Joley is pretty much the typical 4 year old. She wants to learn but she wants to learn on her time. Well, as a mom, I want her to have her basic skills well in advance of truly “needing” them for school purposes. I want her to know all she needs to know as soon as she is able. That can be tricky though at times.
Enter DVDs. Joley still thinks Dora is pretty cool. So, when Dora wants to teach you how to count and say your ABCs it is much more fun than mom doing it. Let’s Learn: 123s and Let’s Learn: ABCs make learning those basic skills fun again!
