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.
Behind The Scenes
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.

Behind The Scenes
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!
Parents of preschoolers know that it can be a challenge to keep these restless winds entertained in a productive manner. Imaginets does just that, while building fine-motor skills, problem solving ability, an ability to follow directions and interpret patterns. Imaginets’ brilliantly colored magnets stick securely to the wooden case which doubles as a white-board.
Behind The Scenes
We emailed a couple local families with young children to see if any of them would be interested in reviewing Imaginets and sending us video of their kid(s) using it. Judah & Cohen’s mom responded literally within minutes, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Don’t you agree?
Judah did a terrific job of introducing himself but my favorite part is Cohen’s introduction. “Me, 2.” So cute!

In our rush to teach our children how to read and do math, it is easy to overlook the importance of teaching our children how to think. That is akin to putting the cart before the horse, as thinking skills are a vital part of reading and math. If we neglect to teach our children how to think we make education a more arduous process than it needs to be… Read More About Imaginets Or Buy Some Here.(Retail: $29.95, on sale for only $19.95 at the time of this post.)
Geocards are brand new to our warehouse and website! The jumbo, sturdy flashcards are a terrific way to learn some of the features of the states/countries with easy to learn games. We still think Geopuzzles are the best way to learn locations, but if you’re ready to learn more, Geocards are the next step!
Behind The Scenes
Daniel’s children Jotham and Rachel helped us review Geocards when we first pulled them out of the box, testing out most of the games. On the Friday we wanted to film Geocards for you Daniel brought Jotham to work for the day making it a perfect opportunity to give you a clear demo!
It was such a beautiful day that we couldn’t resist filming outside the office – we even have crocuses coming up here! However, despite our windscreen you’ll hear a bit of wind in the last few moments of the vodcast – I didn’t hear it until I was working with it in post. Oh well, that’s Washington for you!

On a snowy afternoon in Wisconsin, GeoToys founder and president Bob Galinsky came up with Geocards: a set of five games to reinforce geography facts. This father who invented the GeoPuzzles to help his three children learn geography had discovered another exciting way to introduce additional essential geography details to young children… Read More About Geocards Or Buy Some Here.(Retail: $12.99, only $9.95 a set at the time of this post.)
