DOODLE BOOK LESSONS: FUN FACTS AND FANCY ARTWORK



Jaibrian's New Book Came In the Mail!
THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED...
CONGRATULATIONS TO MARIE J. (Comment #18)

I recently sought out one of my favorite companies, Timberdoodle, in the hope that I would be able to blog for them.  I only blog for companies I like and respect; And this one was at the top of my list.
Guess what!! I got the gig! :o)

As a Lucky Member of the Timberdoodle Blog Team, my 6 year old daughter, Jaibrian, and I were given a Doodle Book to "play" with and review.  I put "play" in quotes because Timberdoodle is famous for playful, fun items that also happen to be educational.  The fun item we were blessed with, this time, is the newest Doodle Book, called "Doodle Farm."

What a little gem!

Jaibrian's Cow Family
The Doodle Farm book is chock-full of farm scene pages that happen to be unfinished.  As children begin to read the books, they are surprised to see that they have to help finish the project!

Jaibrian began "fixing" the pages to "help" the publisher.  She listened to me read the little facts and tidbits about that particular area of the farm, and an explanation of what she needed to draw to complete the picture.


Jaibrian thought this was best thing since sliced bread. She soaked it right up...as you will see in the video at the end of this post.  She did 3 scenes in one day and promptly brought the book back to me, early Saturday morning, so I could read to her while she drew more scenes.  She is a giggling, precious bundle of joy when this book is in her hands.

Concentration

I like the interesting farm facts and playful way the information is molded into each lesson. Children can doodle the various animals at the farm, the crops that the farmer grows, help the farmer herd the sheep, put the horns on the bull, and so on...All the while, they don't know they are learning....be we do! :o)

There are more than 100 lively illustrations and that means every page is an easy-to-make lesson at our fingertips.  Children using Doodle Books need no drawing skills, as the books are designed to pique their creativity and encourage them to learn to draw, trace and make likenesses.



**I recommend Doodle Books for children who are hands-on learners.**
Other Doodle Books include: Doodle Bugs and Doodle Zoo.
