Oooh! I’m soooo excited I can barely stand it! One of my favorite companies, Educational Insights, has asked me to do some fun reviews and giveaways which I know you will all love! YAY!
As you all know, we absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE Educational insights Hot Dots around here! The cute little cards and interactive pen makes learning so much fun! I even did a post awhile back about them here!
The Hot Dots are fun colorful cards that reinforce skills with the use of a fun interactive pen! When your student clicks on the “correct” dot the pen will flash green and say “Great Job” or “You are Correct”, if you get the wrong answer the pen will flash red and say “Sorry, try again!” They also have a new set for young kids along with a cute “Ace” the dog pen. His eyes light up green when they’re right and he barks!
Even the Teeny Tot comes running when we pull out the Hot Dots! Though, I’m not sure she’s learning much LOL!
My new favorite set of cards is the Hot Dots Jr. Getting Ready for School set! This set of cards comes with 80 double sided colorful cards and a very cute “Ace” the dog pen! They encourage your children to practice key learning skills including colors, letters, numbers, shapes, patterns and more!
We also have Hot Dots Jr. Alphabet Cards. They include 72 alphabet activities including uppercase/lowercase and letter sounds practice.
Educational Insights sells several different pre-made cards, or you can purchase Educational Insights Hot Dots with Talking Hot Dots Pen, and make your own cards as well! You can also download the cards I’ve made here:

Disclosure: I received a free set of Hot Dots Jr. Getting Ready for School cards for review on this blog. The opinions I have given are mine and may differ from others but were not influenced by the company or the free product provided! You can rest assured I would NEVER recommend something we didn’t love!
My son (almost 4) would LOVE this, and so would my daughter (though a little young at almost 2). It would get a lot of use at our house, either way! :)Jen Smithjenanderran(at)charter(dot)net
I love these I have never seen them before what a great idea! I would like to get the Beginning phonics, Numbers and counting and pattern secuencing, and he dots to make your own cards. This would be a great addition to our school supplies.

These are so cool. I love the Hot Dots Jr Phonics one for my 2 1/2 year old. But I really love the kits to create your own activities.
The patterns and sequencing set would be good for where my son is right now. I also like the idea of making our own cards with the dots they sell.
Oh wow, they have so many cool products. I would love the Phonics Jr or the Patterning and Sequencing for my daughter.erica.stein(at)att.net
