Man-on-the-street interviews with some of our Timberdoodle employees – who can recognize the Dot-To-Dot taking shape?

Hope explains why Dot To Dots are great learning tools, and what makes this the best Dot To Dot series in print.

Convinced? Buy yourself or your kids a copy at http://www.timberdoodle.com/Dots

Behind The Scenes

Nabbing coworkers for the interviews was the best part, they all did a great job!
These books are not just for kids, adults around the office have been voluntarily pitching in “check the designs” – even on lunch breaks!

From Our Store:

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)

#0007 – Homeschool Conferences: Special Offers and Amusing Problem

Monday, March 15th, 2010

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 1:40 — 13.5MB)

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! If you are part of planning a conference, don’t forget to contact us to provide free catalogs for your attendees!

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!
