{CLOSED} Fundanoodle Educational Activities & Fun | Giveaway

by Erin, The $5 Dinner Mom on July 30, 2012

Get started on the right foot this back to school season with these fabulous products from Fundanoodle. These activities and workbooks are great no matter what kind of “schooler” you are!

When we opened our box of goodies last week, it’s no surprise that the boys wanted to get to pounding on the pound activity bench (see above). I didn’t see them for 2 hours. Seriously! We had just returned from a weekend getaway (yes, we were out of town, even though we are in the midst of packing, moving, etc.) and I was so thankful that they were occupied while I got all the suitcases unloaded, laundry started and made plans for the week.

It has been and always will be a joy to watch my kids play and learn together…even though they don’t realize they are learning valuable skills. I was also surprised by how well Tyler did with this little hammer too. He loves doing what his brothers are doing and this activity was something they all enjoyed. And the most shocking part…they took turns with very little direction or intervention from me….they’d each do one paper/page of pounding before handing the hammer over to the next brother.

Fundanoodle has a FREE iPad/iPhone App. You can get the app with 4 letters and 4 numbers for free, and if you’d like to upgrade to all the letters, you can download the remaining letters and numbers for $1.99. The app follows the same language and system as the books, but you can also do it with technology!

This little gem that you see above I’ve actually hidden! In less than 2 weeks we have a 20 hour drive to make from OH to TX, and I’m saving the dry erase practice board for the drive! I also managed to sneak a few of the other Fundanoodle goodies into the “car bag” before the kids were able to see them. They were too busy with the pound activity block to even notice!
