I know as parents we want nothing but the best for our kids… Yes, they have to learn things and we are their first teachers… Although, at times, they are in a world of their own, lol… I guess that was where Kidlandia came up with their name!  That being said, I was so glad to have the chance to work with Kidlandia in hosting new review for you.  In the past, I had the chance to review one of their place mats … It was too big for Broxton’t high chair, so we did not use it that much… But, now that he is pretty much at the table (unless he knows it’s messy and requests his high chair,) we can use it… It is super sturdy, so I know it will be around for quite some time. Broxton doesn’t eat 24/7, so he doesn’t get to use the place mat all that much.  So, instead of ordering another place mat, we decided to go a different route, but with the same theme… We ordered the Map of the USA Fine Art Print for him!  I was so excited, as I really want ...

We were given the chance to review one of the new Kidlandia Kreechurs. It is an adorable little plush guy and I love their names... They are exclusively being sold at FAO Schwartz online store and the New York store as well. Let me tell you how it went here... They are all cute, so we could not decide which to review... When the package arrived, Broxton was eager to see what was inside. I pulled out " Thumblebottom " and told Broxton his name. That was it... Thumblebottom went everywhere...  They played together... He had to go in the car when we went places... Then, one night... Broxton was in bed... trying to procrastinate sleep... "Mommy, I need Thumblebottom!"  Now, he has never needed anything to sleep with, so I told him Thumblebottom had already gone to sleep... He started crying, all upset about needing Thumblebottom.  So, I went on a hunt and found him... As soon as they were united, all was okay and they both went night night.  That started ...

I am all about teaching Broxton things... We work on our numbers and colors... Shapes and everything else we can think of... I have heard that if you start with the basics of just showing them the states that they will learn them faster than other kids that are introduced to them later. When I heard about that, I immediately started looking for a way to introduce the states, without it really being a lesson. I was so happy when I found that Kidlandia sold maps of the USA as placemats ! To make it even better, you could personalize it with your little ones name!!! (As well as the fact that it even has a place to make a "holiday" with their birthday!) Of course, that was what I wanted to get!!! I was so happy to be able to review one for you, besides Broxton getting a great placemat .... One of you will win a gift code to get something for your household! Kidlandia has several different items that you can choose from... Puzzles, Placemats , Posters... Growth Charts, Gallery...
