My Favorite Toys - Little Tikes Cozy Coupe

Little Tikes makes some awesome toys and it's a brand I buy without worrying about quality. You can buy second hand without any issues whatsoever so the quality new is superb.

One of their main toys is the Cozy Coupe which my son adores. He has had it since he was 2 years old (he is almost 4) and he continues to play with it almost every day. Drive it, fill the gas, get it dirty and wash it, back it up into a parking spot and use the horn when other cars are coming. It gives him the freedom to drive as adults do and practice pretend play which is so important for little kids.

Every time I think he might have outgrown it, he finds a new way to play with it. I'm actually going to be sad when I have to let it go, but will keep the memories of my son playing with it, and I'm sure it will make yet another kid happy because this little car has many more years to go!

The Little Tikes Cozy Coupe is cute, sturdy and lots of fun to play with. From kid to kid, it's the perfect toy to pass around from cousin to cousin and be the toy all kids remember playing with.

My Favorite Toys - National Geographic's Kinetic Sand

We bought National Geographic's Kinetic Sand a couple of months ago when we were looking for an easy solution to have a sand box inside the house without the mess! My first impression was how vivid the colors are and that it would provide as much fun for the parents as it would for our toddler :D After a lot of back and forth between mom, dad and toddler as to who got to play with the sand first, we decided it was only fair for the 3 year old to have fun first xD He loved that it came with different molds he could use to create things, and I loved how easily the sand came out from the molds while also keeping its shape (not to mention how easy it was to clean it from the floors when inevitably some of it ended up there). The sand was perfect, it helps my toddler practice the motor skills necessary to put the sand in the molds and take it out still intact, it has a good texture that satisfies his sensory needs, it shows him new shapes like pyramids, and it allows for free play where...

An Introduction - Aiglee

Hi, my name is Aiglee, and although this is a new blog, I have blogged for the last 10 years in several different subjects. This time my sister brought up the idea of writing about my parenting style, the toys we like and the video games we play. Why did I chose the name of the blog? Some of us have the opportunity to grow up with STEM or STEAM surrounding us and some of us don't. My husband grew up in a farm learning about growing animals and plants, how to have fun getting dirty, play with atvs, jump on lakes and all around enjoy nature and working with your hands. I grew up with a biologist dad, a mom that instilled me no limits, and the University halls as my playground. I grew up around science as my main education and technology as a goal, and our almost 4 year old boy is growing up with the best of both worlds! In a technology focused world, growing up in a STEAM household can be an amazing advantage. In our particular case, we both chose technology as our educat...

Daycare Activities - Teaching Edition

I love my daycare. My son is in a licensed daycare center close to home which we fell in love with the moment we saw. He had to be in a waitlist for almost a year but it was completely worth it. Every day I went to pick him up before the pandemic, they would print and put on the walls what they had done that day or week and I loved every second of it. Now we can't go into the daycare but every Thursday or Friday we get a printed page of what the kids did that week! They tell you what they did, why they did it and what they are learning by doing that. It always gives me ideas of what we can do at home too, and it teaches me so much about how every little play is teaching our kids something :)
