Here are some more Holiday gift suggestions for Kids!
Education.com has launched a first of its kind math and reading program with more 300 games and activities called Brainzy. Developed for kids 3- 7 years old, it will certainly keep little ones busy far longer than snack time – and it’s educational! Developed using rich data gathered from the 20 million worksheets downloaded each year at Education.com, Brainzy features hundreds of interactive games and activities that captivate young minds and delight parents weary of filling screen time with so-called education apps. Brainzy’s comprehensive program follows a methodical, building-block path created to spark curiosity, giggles, and grins while building more than 30 critical reading and math skills.
Brainzy transports kids to the Land of Knowhere, where they play and learn with new friends named Roly, Floyd, Tutu, Officer Ice Cream, Birdee, Cuz-Cuz, Muggo, and Penelope Pegacorn. Designed for children at Pre-K, Kindergarten, and First Grade levels with additional levels planned up to Fifth Grade, Brainzy’s collection of original games and videos is constantly expanding and improving. Reading games include alphabet games, phonics games, and sight word games and videos like “Alphabet Demolition Bingo” and “Short E Rap.” Math games build skills in counting, number recognition, shapes, and addition/subtraction through games and videos like “Subtraction Ski Race” and “Stacking Up the Ice Cream.”
Each Brainzy account can accommodate up to three players, making it a snap for parents to customize Brainzy for multiple children. As kids master the math and literacy games, parents can track progress and performance. Brainzy also offers a classroom version for teachers that can accommodate up to 35 students.
Brainzy is available by monthly subscription ($6.99 per month) or annual subscription ($3.99 per month), and provides an ad-free environment safe for kids to explore on a tablet, desktop, or laptop computer. Visit Brainzy.com for more information and to sign up for a free 7-day trial.

Looking for something really fun for children ages 8+. The Giant Musical Step-On Keyboard Mat at One Step Ahead will be a real hit! This is so much fun! Kids can jump on a six-foot long electronic keyboard. This reminds me of the movie with Tom Hanks! I just had to try it too! It plays eight musical instrument sounds—piano, guitar, banjo, sax, violin, flute, trumpet, harp—so kids learn a symphony’s worth about musical instruments. With record and playback functions, a choice of background rhythms, 10 pre-recorded songs, and volume control. 68″L x 26″W, with 24 keys. Requires 3 AA batteries (sold separately). Retails for $49.95.
