Oooh! Iām 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 ācorrectā dot the pen will flash green and say āGreat Jobā or āYou are Correctā, if you get the wrong answer the pen will flash red and say āSorry, try again!ā They also have a new set for young kids along with a cute āAceā the dog pen. His eyes light up green when theyāre right and he barks!
Even the Teeny Tot comes running when we pull out the Hot Dots! Though, Iām not sure sheās 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 āAceā 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 Iāve made here:

Just visited the Educational Insight webpage – WOW!!! Talk about kid in a candy store – I'm WILD about all the really cool educational "toys"!!! I really like the Hot Dots Jr. Educational Cards Beginning Phonics set for my oldest daughter – she's 3 almost 4 and already sounding out simple words. This would be GREAT! Please enter me!
There are so many to choose from, but right now I would get basic math skills (subtraction and addition!)

I am so excited. I have wanted to try these out for such a long time. I can not decide if I like the Reading Readiness or the consonants one the best. If I had to choose I would say the consonants. These look so fabulous! I did all three things. I had to just laugh because the password for me to subscribe to your newsletter was "gymbo" My son LOVED Gymbo and the Gymbo DVD actually it was a VHS when he was younger. It use to drive my husband crazy hearing it over and over and over again. š Thanks again!Donnahttp://kinderglynn.blogspot.com/
I really love the Hot Dots Jr. Ready for School Set!!!!
