New VTech Baby Learning review and giveaway!

I think one of the best teaching moments with my son was when I got him an alphabet puzzle and he just randomly started to name the letters. I decided to see what he knows and pulled all the letters out. I handed them to him one at a time and he knew about 20 of the uppercase letters. He was barely 2 years old at the time. He is now 3 and knows all the uppercase, some of the lower case, and some of the letter sounds. It was so exciting when he showed me he already knew lots and was ready to learn more.

My favorite teaching moments with my son is when we are out and about. He is almost 3 and I use everything we see as a teaching moment. pointing out plants, animals, and objects!

How cute is that!? We read to our youngest son A LOT and he loves learning with flash cards.

I love reading to my kids and am having fun with my 1 year old reading the one word books. :)

I love teaching my son his colors. When I ask him to show me a certain color he will point to it. (doesnt talk yet) it is so neat to watch him learn and how proud he is as well

Our newest little one is learning so fast. But I love when she started to wave Hi to Daddy when he'd come home from work...

I wrote things on index cards and posted around on what they were exp-chair on a chair

I love reading with my son. Although it's not teaching him a specific skill at this point, it is working towards developing healthy habits and will help him be a better reader in the future!

I love reading to my kids, and we also use the Your Baby Can Read program (as seen on TV). I also love letting my older son help in the kitchen! Not only does he learn some basic cooking skills, it also helps him with measuring and math!

I just love it when we read together! I love to read and I want to pass that on to my kids!

I think one of the best ones was when we helped my 4 year old count to 100. Next day he went to school and did it and was the only one in class that got them all :)

One of my favorite teaching moments occurred when I had my youngest son outdoors on our lawn with me, sitting on a blanket. He was so fascinated with the blue sky and clouds, and he asked me how they got there, and I taught him about God and how He made the world. It was very sweet and profound.

I myself have always wanted a Vtech Laptop when I was a kid. So now that I have my own kid, I'll make sure to buy him one too. Thanks for reminding me about it! :D

We always read books to my niece and reading time is her favorite time of day :)

We read recently that babies' leaning increases when you're using numbers regularly, so we count EVERYTHING! Bites of food, toys, etc. Plus, just hearing our voice and seeing that we're interacting is great for her :)

songs are always a fun way to teach babies. this little lap top is so cute

We started teaching our boys the names of body parts when they were very young. We did it while we were changing their diapers when they got in they moving stage. It helped them stay still and they loved that we made a game of it.

My grandson is 11 months old and he would love this! One of my many favorite moments is that I taught him the Itsy Bitzy Spider, he tries to do it, but he can't get the fingers together yet, so he just puts his little hands in a lock together and wiggles them...it's so sweet :D

I'm a math teacher so one of my "teachable moments" with my older daughter is when we go on walks around our neighborhood, we practice reading the numbers on the mailboxes. She is four and can identify her numbers from 1 to 100. :)

My favorite teaching moments are when it comes to cooking. Involving my kids in something as simple as sprinkling shredded cheese on a casserole helps to develop their fine motor skills, their love of measuring and cooking, and they are more apt to eat something they've helped make! :)

I love watching my older children help the younger ones learn & read

One of my favorite teaching moments is at the grocery store. We can learn about food, money, health, and social skills.

I love to read to my granddaughter. She is just starting to talk, so we point to the pictures and say the name of what it is, trying to get her to repeat it. She is so cute trying to mimic us. I am so glad to be able to keep her and her brother every day, and spend time with them.

My little one has grown a very big interest in books. I started reading to her early, and now, at 20 months, she goes and grabs a book each night before bed.

We love reading books.. counting different items that we come across during the day.

I like to teach about nature, plants and animals while we are outside. There is so much to see and explore that there is never a dull moment.

When I print out letters and objects that start with that letter, all the kids enjoy coloring and learning about it.

Awesome, thanks for the giveaway. Perfect for my little kids

I love VTech toys! My now 6 yr. old has had many VTech learning toys over the years, starting with the baby laptop & now has the age appropriate VSmile video games & has been using the VReader to practice reading. She uses them at least once or
twice a week & always packs them on long car rides!

At home we also have a lot of electronic devises. And with that comes a bunch of cords to charge all our different devises. My 10 month old has been on the move as of late and likes to try to touch all the cords. We have been saying "No No No" and shaking our heads whenever he would reach for the cords. Yesterday, he went towards the cords and then stopped and shook his head no! It is so much fun to see what they pick up!

My favorite teachable moment was when my mother taught our daughter to clap and throw up her hands for "hooray!" in just one day.

I think one of the best ones was when we were teaching our then 4 month old, the sign for milk, everytime we gave her milk, we showed her sign for milk. About 2 months after, she was sitting in her high chair, signing to her brother milk, at first i though it was a random gesture, but it turned out that she really did want milk. It was an awesome moment!
