School Zone's Math Readiness Sticker Workbook and Big Alphabet Workbook

Smarty Pants Review
I'm a teacher at heart and try to incorporate educational activities with my munchkin each day.

Between trips to the park, birthday parties, the zoo and more we do all sorts of educational activities! We sing the alphabet at least a dozen times a day, together we write out the alphabet and her name, we count anything and everything, we paint letters, write them with chalk, form them with play-do. It's great and best of all I am seeing the work payoff. At 21 months she could identify every letter of the alphabet and count to 13!

To supplement these activities, I have tried out 2 School Zone workbooks, Math Readiness Stickers Workbook Pre-K and Big Alphabet Workbook Ages 3-5. She LOVES using these books. Each afternoon we do a few pages. The Math Readiness Sticker Book is our favorite so far! This book includes sheets of stickers that are used with each page. My daughter, as I'm sure is the case with most children, loves stickers. We color, circle, write out and sticker a different number each day. Here's the number three! (She wrote the numbers with much of my help!)

The Big Alphabet Book is also great. She is learning how letters and words (a is for apple) are connected, as well as objects (firehouse and a fireman) are related. She is learning how to draw a line (huge challenge) to show these connections.

Why is it a Smarty Pants Product?
As a Smart Mama it is so important to always try to provide the best for the munchkin(s). Adding educational type activities is certainly a way to provide the best. School Zone workbooks not only provide an educational tool for mom's to use with their little ones, but they make it fun! She loves them...I wouldn't have her use them if she didn't.

I read with my son every night. We also practice basic math skills by "playing with" fruit flavored cheerios or mini-marshmallows. I dump a pile on the kitchen table and then start giving him equations to figure out. Once he gets the right answer, he's allowed to eat the food!

I watch my 3 yr old grandson and I have been trying to do educational things as often as possible. We sing the alphabet. We count and name colors of the things he is playing with such as his little cars. I have also been helping him write on a Magnadoodle. It's fun and it saves paper. And you can just keep erasing and writing. I would love to have some books to work on with him. Thanks for the great giveaway!
