What Is The Best Homeschool Video Contest?

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 2:49 — 22.9MB)

That’s easy-Timberdoodle’s has to be the best homeschool video contest! Not just because it’s ours either. Where else would you find this combination?

  1. Well over $575 in prizes.
  2. Giant prizes of up to $325 in Timberdoodle Gift Certificates.
  3. A generous $10 gift certificate just for entering.
  4. Bonus miniature Thinking Putty free when you redeem your $10 gift certificate.
  5. An opportunity to show off your favorite homeschool tools, techniques, or just have fun making a movie as a family.

Here are all the details:

Homeschool Video Contest

Step One – Today through June 14th

Make a Video

Make a video that mentions Timberdoodle and post it on YouTube or your favorite online video site. Most importantly, fill out this simple entry form, giving us the link to your video. Entries must be received by June 14th to be eligible for the contest!

Step Two – June 16th to June 21st

Vote

Come back and browse all the videos on this page and vote for your favorites (including your own, of course) by commenting on each video. Send family and friends a link to your video so they can vote. They love you, so they’ll vote for you–right? Again, every comment on a video counts as a vote, and the three videos with the most votes will win.

Step Three – June 22nd to September 1st

Spend Your Money

Shop Timberdoodle.com to cash in your gift certificate!
The fine print?
No cash value on any of the certificates.
Only one certificate may be used per order.
Qualifying orders must be $10 minimum. (Since $10 is the minimum amount you’ll win, this clause is to keep our records from showing that we owe you $1.75 cash after you receive your $8.25 item for free!)

Eligible Videos:

1. Are family-friendly
2. Refer to Timberdoodle clearly in the video
3. Feature a Timberdoodle product, service, or curriculum
4. Use outside media legally (music, video clips, etc…)
5. Are submitted online before 6/14/2010

By participating in this contest, you agree to abide by Timberdoodle’s decision regarding the winners of this contest and to give Timberdoodle the right to use your video in any way they choose.

#0016 – Pop-Arty Beads

Monday, May 24th, 2010

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 1:19 — 10.6MB)

Are you looking for something that will enhance all four of your child’s fine-motor skills – grasping, reaching, releasing an object, and turning the wrist? Are you searching for a craft project that can be used multiple times to make countless creations? Do you need something quiet and mess-free for the children to do while visiting Grandma? Pop-arty Beads can do all of that and more…

Read more at http://www.Timberdoodle.com/beads

Behind The Scenes

  • It is exciting to get this episode out, it has been in the cue for way too long!
  • These girls spent a lot of time playing with the beads, and I think they would have been happy to do it all over again.
  • The girls were taped during a family reunion. The beads were one of the best activities for allowing the adults to visit while the kids played quietly.

Pop-Arty Beads

More From Our Store:

“Each Pop-arty Beads collection comes with over 475 of the most eye-catching beads in a wild assortment of shapes, textures, and forms. Luscious solid colors like purple, lime green, pink, blue, orange, and salmon red or marble-like swirls of color give a sophisticated elegance to Battat’s B. Pop-Arty Beads and add to the educational value…” Buy Pop-Arty Beads Now!

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 3:10 — 25.6MB)

This fast-paced overview of Timberdoodle allows us to introduce you to part of our crew as they explain everything from how we started to our 120 day/120% price guarantee. Whether you are new to homeschooling or have been ordering from us for years, kick back, relax and enjoy this special edition Timberdoodle Vodcast.

Behind The Scenes

  • Getting everyone filmed was tricky, but hearing each of their perspectives was well worth it.
  • If you know a Timberdoodle employee who chose not to participate, feel free to give them a hard time about that, we are!
  • The most difficult part was trimming the vodcast down to a manageable length.

#0013 – CitiBlocs

Monday, April 26th, 2010

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 1:35 — 12.8MB)

Newly added to Timberdoodle’s Core Curriculum, CitiBlocs are brilliant in their simplicity. Precision cut from renewable New Zealand Pine, any child who can stack blocks is ready to enjoy these. At the same time, we’ve yet to find an adult who won’t feel challenged by some of the intricate pattern ideas. Most spend hours creating, assembling, knocking over, and trying again.

Ready to buy? Shop http://www.timberdoodle.com/CitiBlocs

Citiblocks have already won twelve prestigious industry awards for their innovative design and sturdy construction. Among them are Creative Child’s 2009 Preferred Choice Award, Dr. Toy Best Vacation Children’s Products Award, iParenting Outstanding Products Award, Mr. Dad Seal of Approval, an Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Seal Award, Toy of the Year 2009 by Parenting Magazine, and 2009 Good Housekeeping “Best in top 7 picks”.

Behind The Scenes

  • The kid footage was actually taped at a family reunion – these are our cousins’ daughters.
  • The new catalog mails tomorrow. We’re excited!
  • Looking for another idea for CitiBlocs? We took them to a Christmas party where the young (and young at heart) built towers as high as possible, then shot them down with Hot Rocketz. Lots of fun!

CitiBlocs Snake

From Our Store:

“If you agree with the sentiments of Albert Einstein, that “Everything should be made as simple as possible,” and you long to fill your home with uncomplicated toys that require no batteries and make no noise, other than the ear pleasing clatter of wood against wood, then you’re in for a treat…” Buy CitiBlocs Now Here!
