We spent hours comparing shape sorters; have you ever considered just how many are out there? Some only had a few pieces, some felt yucky or fragile right out of the box, while others were just plain unattractive. The Little Sorting Caterpillar was a clear winner, because in addition to being well-built of beautiful wood and having an amazing 13 pieces The Little Shape Sorting Caterpillar offers different levels of play. With so many different components this is truly a tool that grows with your child for hours of use. Of course, it is also sturdy enough to be passed on to countless siblings when your toddler is done with it – or turn it over to the church nursery!
Behind The Scenes
We are delighted to have friends who let us demo products with their children. Devyn is 2, isn’t she sweet? Watch for more video of her and her sister Hayden in weeks to come.
This is taken from our soon-to-be-announced Toddler Curriculum. The whole thing will be arriving on our site in the next two weeks.
“Like all shape sorters, the friendly-faced Shape Sorting Caterpillar will teach your child to observe the difference between several shapes and fit them into their respective holes. But it is the ingenious addition of the removable pegs that expands the life of this puzzle…” Buy The Little Sorting Caterpillar Now Here!
If you are looking for a comprehensive science curriculum you’ve probably already been told to look at Apologia. But maybe you’d like a little more information. Daniel shows you how the different books and CDs work together, explains how other families have used Apologia and qualifies which students are likely to thrive with Apologia – and which students may not.

This is our first video shot on our green screen. You’ll see more!
Daniel is also known as The Other Dan, especially when people think they are talking to Dan The Boss!
Not only does this in-depth curriculum, (Apologia Young Explorers) with its gorgeous full-color pictures and captivating, God-exalting text, sparkle in comparison to the mainstream dry-bones science program, it utilizes what we believe is the most sensible method to teaching science, the immersion approach… Buy Apologia Now Here!
Both your child’s left and right brains will be exercised as he works to complete puzzles with 500 to over 1,400 dots. And these puzzles are not just for children. Many adults, myself included, find these books both provoking and relaxing, a treat for sluggish minds and weary bodies… Buy it now for only $5.95! (at the time of this post)
Dozens of products must be evaluated before we print our 2010 Curriculum Catalog. Watch this video to get a glimpse of the review process here at Timberdoodle. Best of all, 4 young relatives ranging in age from nearly 2 to 7 explored, experimented, and tested a wide array of exciting new products from construction to music to scooters and more!
Check back in April to see how many of these products make it onto our website. Better yet, sign up for our free catalog and stay in the loop: http://www.timberdoodle.com/FreeCatalog
Behind The Scenes
We were delighted when our gracious relatives loaned us their girls for the afternoon. The session went way beyond any of our expectations and everyone enjoyed the time!
Watching the children play was very insightful, especially since they have a nice wide range of personalities, ages, and interests. (It would have been lovely to have boys involved too, but the one brother was down for a nap… Oh well!)
There were so many cute moments and lots of helpful ‘real-life’ exploring and experimenting. In fact, we expect you to see more of these kids on future vodcasts as we demo and explain the products that passed muster.
Conferences can be a blast, but what if Timberdoodle didn’t make it to yours? Where do you find the conference-specific special offers from us? Grace will show you exactly what to expect!

We were so impressed with the gracious and helpful coordinators at this, our first conference of the year. If any of you are located in the Bellingham area, you may want to check them out: http://www.whatcomhomeschool.org/
Because of the conference we didn’t preshoot this session, and now I have one more reason to try to do that. None of us noticed the aircraft flying over during the shoot, and it was too late to redo…
Despite our attempts to verify door size before making the trek to this conference we were alarmed to find that our display shelves couldn’t quite fit even through the backup door. This crew volunteered to disassemble the door and carry the carts up for us. There was a brief moment of horror though when they realized we’d brought not one or two, but three of these monster shelves!
