Mickey Mouse Book Club

Posted on | by KD Novelties

I remember when I was younger I was enrolled in a Mickey Mouse Book Club for my birthday.  This was so special to me as every month I would get a Disney book delivered to my home addressed to me!  I always looked forward to getting my book and seeing my name on the package.  I would get so excited as I loved to read and wanted to read the next book in the series.  Those of you that can remember these books and book stand can relate.

Well we have awesome news!  We have personalized Disney books where your child is the star of each Disney book, which is a giant step forward from the books back then.  They didn’t have personalized books when I was younger, but I would have been ecstatic seeing my name in the story with Mickey, Minnie and the Gang as I was so happy just seeing my name on the package the books would come in!

But wait… there’s more….!  We also have a Disney personalized book club! You can purchase this book club for that special child and they will receive a personalized Disney book delivered to their home for 6 months starring them as the main character in the story.  This is bound to get your little one jumping for joy because they will get their own mail and then when they start reading, it’s about them!

Our books promote self-esteem and self-image because children read about themselves in their very own adventures but most of all personalized reading promotes literacy.

How can gardening help your kids improve their reading and listening skills?

Posted on | by KD Novelties
 
Now that Spring is here get your kids involved in outdoor clean-up
and planting activities.
 
·         Involve them from the beginning.  Have them pick the seeds (flowers or vegetables) they would like to plant.  Remind them that they can’t plant until they have read the instructions first.  
 
·         Let them have their own spot in the garden to dig for worms, catch bugs and prepare the soil.
 
·         Get them their own kid size garden tools to work with you.
 
·         Let them have their own space to plant the seeds they picked.  They are to read on how to plant them and how much water is needed, etc.  They can be responsible for caring for their part of the garden.
 
·         Create a picture journal marking each step of the journey.  Sit with them every day and write, draw and take pictures of what is happening in their garden.
 
·         If the child is smaller and does not know how to read show them either pictures of instructions if available or simply speak out the instructions and have them repeat it back to you.  Repetition improves their listening skills.
 
·         Keep some of the seeds they are planting outside and plant them indoors (they are to read the instructions again or repeat the process to you to see if they paid attention) in a clear plastic cup or container so they can see how the roots are formed and experience the miracle of growing something.
 
·         If planting vegetables encourage them to eat their own creations!  How cool is that!
 
·         Lastly and most importantly make it family time and have fun gardening whatever your child’s age is.  Encourage the love of nature and gardening.
 
Note: You can incorporate reading lessons and instructions in your everyday duties.   When you see the opportunity to read seize it!  Promoting literacy while doing your normal activities will get kids more involved instead of making it a chore (since they won’t realize you’re actually making them read or teaching them).

Top 10 Reasons why a personalized children’s book is better than a traditional children’s book

Posted on | by KD Novelties
  1. Builds self-esteem and encourages reading
  2. Children read about themselves in their very own special book and not about other characters
  3. They become part of the story and take part in the adventures in each storyline
  4. Every child wants to be recognized for doing something really special and in our personalized books they either join their favorite super hero in saving the day, help save animals from a storm and many more heroic actions
  5. They get to include friends and family members in their own story
  6. Any milestone or event in a child’s life (for example they just visited the zoo, went on a camping trip, is taking ballet lessons, loves sports, learning their numbers or ABCs, first day at school, loves tea parties); we have books to meet every special occasion or milestone. Purchasing a book reinforces what they are already doing and best of all they are part of it!
  7. Seeing their face light up when they hear their name in the story
  8. Treasured keepsake these personalized books are kept as memories and never given away or sold
  9. Their photo is included (in our personalized photo books) on the cover and throughout the pages in the story with their personalized information. You can’t get any more personalized than this!
  10. Personalized gifts are more treasured by the recipient than traditional gifts. Who doesn’t want a gift with their name on it?

    11. We know we said ten reasons but we couldn’t resist the 11th!

  11. You will be the best loved parents, grandparents, aunt, uncle, cousin, friend, sibling, babysitter, or Godparents in the whole world for giving that special little one their very own special book created especially for them!
