Kidloland App Review + Giveaway

KidloLand Review! This app is REMARKABLE and teaches your toddler SO much!

KidloLand Review! This app is REMARKABLE and teaches your toddler SO much!

Gracie is almost 16 months, now! Her personality is totally starting to emerge and her likes and dislikes are becoming more clear! It’s so neat to me how she gravitates towards certain things. She’s starting to love stuffed animals, kitty cat toys, books, and music. She loves music. She also loves when I let her play on my phone. Sometimes mama just needs a minute to pick up before guests come over, or go to the bathroom, or answer the front door. I don’t give Gracie a lot of screen time at home, but she LOVES when I do. Gracie can watch one of those YouTube surprise egg videos for an hour if I’d let her. But the problem with those is that they are NOT educational at all.

Before Gracie, I was a kindergarten teacher! I know the importance of education and starting young. That’s why I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Kidloland app. When mama needs a minute break, I have the perfect tool that keeps Gracie occupied but also learning. And I mean really learning. This app is amazing. It’s CHOCK full of amazing content, from colors, nursery rhymes, first words, shapes, lullabies, and even games. There’s even an ABC section and a numbers section.

Gracie loves every part of Kidloland. But her favorite section is the nursery rhyme section. This app has so many nursery rhymes. I used to sing a few of them to Gracie when she was little, so she knows the tunes and even tries to sing along now. I actually feel a bit silly because Gracie actually showed me something that the app does that I didn’t even REALIZE. (She’s already more tech savvy than me!) Each one of the songs is INTERACTIVE. Yes, you can interact with the screen during the song. Now that is something you will NEVER find on YouTube. So while the Itsy, Bitsy, Spider song is playing, Gracie can actually touch the spider and watch it go up the spout. It’s really awesome. There are tons of areas to touch on the screen and the song comes to life. She loves the Old McDonald song now, and it’s really helped Gracie with her animal sounds.

There is even a whole section for stories. Being a kindergarten teacher makes me sooooo thankful for this feature on the app! You have two options on the story section. You can have the app read the story or you can chose to read the story yourself. This is actually something Gracie loves. We sit down and instead of reading a book, I read a book from Kidloland. I like doing this because the story is interactive and Gracie digs it. But, I also feel like we’re not missing out on mama/daughter bonding. I also use the feature where the app reads to Gracie too. As a former teacher, I know the importance of early literacy. Kids first learn how to read by hearing the rhythm of a book. This is exactly what Gracie is learning when the app reads to her. It’s just perfect.

PawdPet Review

Pawd Pet Review- Stuffed animal cuddly toy that also acts as a magnetic iPhone or iPad holder! Great for kids!! Read more at Gracefulmommy.com

I’ve recently stumbled upon a great product that I thought my Graceful Mommy fans would love to hear about! This product is called PawdPet. Its a huggable, snuggly, stuffed animal that acts as an phone or tablet carrier. Gracie is only 10 months old so she doesn’t watch too much TV, but we do occasionally put on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse or YouTube songs on for her to watch.

PawdPet comes in 4 different animals: an owl, fox, koala, and bunny. We received Mr. Hoots (the owl) from PawdPet. I think the owl is so cute! Any kid would love this. They are cute, huggable and super soft. Which is perfect for protecting your iPhone, iPod, or iPad (were an Apple family, can you tell?).

The PawdPet comes with a magnetic strip that you peel off and place on the back of your device. The device magnetically attaches to the belly of the stuffed animal so your child can watch shows or movies handsfree! You can put the PawdPet standing up tall or on it’s side!

Another really cool feature about PawdPet is there is a phone/tablet holder on the back of it! It has a buttoned, plush padded back pocket that stores your phone or tablet when your child is not using it! The back button is also magnetic so you know your device is safe in there. PawdPets also have adjustable straps on them so your child can easily carry it around! This is perfect for outings, trips + adventures!

While Gracie doesn’t really play on the phone or iPad yet, we definitely have used the PawdPet with her. She uses it as a cuddly toy to play with and snuggle. We hide things in the back pocket for her to find. Sometimes we will stand it up with a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse episode on! She really does love it. My favorite part is that the phone is magnetic. That means she can’t pick up my phone and chew on it (like she does with everything). The phone really is stuck, and she can’t pull it off. It’s a very strong magnet!

Bath Time Essentials

When Gracie was a newborn, she was totally unsure about bath time. Sometimes she liked it, sometimes she screamed her head off the whole time. But somewhere around 4 months she started LOVING bath time. She has so much fun in the bath and now she learned to splash to it’s reallllly fun. LOL! I end up getting a whole bath, too because she splashes so much. Anyways, I thought I would share some of our favorite bath time products.

Bath time essentials for a baby! I love number 2- the SoapSox are so great! Read more at Gracefulmommy.com

1//Tubby Todd Soap– I did a full review on this soap here. I just love it! Love the smell, love how sudsy it is, love how long it lasts.

2//SoapSox – Guys- these things are amazing! They were actually on Shark Tank, too! It’s a 2-in-1 toy because it’s an awesome stuffed animal play toy, but also a sudsy wash cloth scrub! It’s seriously an awesome invention. One of those things that makes me go “umm why didn’t I think of this!!”.

It makes bath time so fun because while I’m washing Gracie, she thinks it’s hilarious having this animal all over her. It’s really easy to use in the bath. You actually “feed” the stuffed animal the soap. I’m serious. Each one has a mouth that you put the soap in. You can use your favorite bar of soap or liquid soap. I, of course, use Tubby Todd in ours. It’s the best soap to use because it’s the soap that gets the most sudsy (in my opinion!).

After you put the soap in, wet the SoapSox with water and work it into a lather. Then, put your fingers in the little side finger pouches and scrub! It’s so great!

After bath time, you can toss your SoapSox in the washer on gentle and then tumble dry. Now, it’s a fun toy to carry around and play with. 2-in-1 fun! I love how they are machine washable- it makes it so easy to clean. I love all the animals you can get. We have Harper the Hippo and Hunter the Alligator. Gracie loves them!

SoapSox is actually coming out with a brand new line called SoapPal. These are smaller animals (and super adorable) that can be fed liquid soap! They are so cute, I can’t wait to try one!

3//Bath cups– These are so simple, yet Gracie loves playing with them! 5 cups come in the pack and they are all different colors and sizes. I love how they all stack into each other so it saves space. You can stack the cups, put things inside them, scoop up water, and watch the water come out the bottom. Each cup has a different shape on the bottom so water comes out differently. Gracie loves scooping up water and watching it come out the bottom. So cute.

4//Mermaid Towel– I know I’ve mentioned this towel on the blog before. I just love it. I love the color, and especially love how BIG it is. All of our other bath towels don’t fit Gracie anymore. This one is perfect!

5//Nail Clippers – I always clip Gracie’s nails after the bath. They are so soft and she is so relaxed so she doesn’t really notice. I love these clippers the best!
