School Stickers Review

January 5, 2014 by Emilee Evans

Disclosure: We received the products mentioned to facilitate our review. Regardless, I only recommend products I feel would be good for my readers. All opinions are my own and those of my family.
School Stickers
We’re so excited to be starting our new homeschooling year tomorrow! I’ve been getting everything set up and ready. Something I’m excited about including this year are rewards charts from School Stickers. Using rewards systems has been very effective in helping the kids stay on task while we’re doing our lessons, and with the new year, I think a new rewards chart is a wonderful addition!
School Stickers offers a variety of customized awards for both schools and parents. They offer a variety of products such as: reward charts, stickers, postcards and certificates. They even offer products for use around the home like Potty Training rewards, birthday party invitations, chore charts and more! I was surprised to see they have a little bit of everything!
For our review I chose the Farm Rewards Charts as well as coordinating Farm Rewards Stickers. I received 2 charts – one for each of our older two children and a sheet of stickers for each of them personalized with their names.
School Stickers Review
Although our preschooler will be joining in on some of our lessons this year, our oldest two children (ages 7 and 6) are taught at the same grade level, so they do all of the same lessons, which means they also receive the same amount of opportunities for rewards. Because of this, I also use the same rewards system for both of them. I love that School Stickers offers so many kinds because I could choose to keep all their charts the same, or I could choose to have different charts for them! Since we all love farm animals and our home has a lot of farm decorations, I knew the Farm Rewards Chart was fitting!
This past week we have been getting everything ready for our homeschooling year, which means we have our Farm Rewards Charts hanging and ready to go! Brayden and Aurora were both allowed to pick a sticker for a reward for helping me get everything ready! From here on out we will be keeping a smaller chart for daily rewards, and if they receive at least 5 “stars” for the day they will be allowed to pick a sticker for their Farm Rewards Chart! Once the chart is full I will allow them to choose a small prize.
Rewards Chart Review
I love the quality of the School Stickers Reward Charts. The charts are very sturdy and hang easily. Because they are sturdy, you could also choose not to hang them and get them out to add a sticker when a reward is earned. Of course, I love that the stickers are personalized. One of the biggest problems I have had with using stickers for rewards is that the kids argue over the stickers! Of course, then they lose out on rewards because they’re arguing! With the personalized stickers there will be no arguing because there is no doubt to whom they belong!
I am definitely excited to be adding the School Stickers reward charts to our rewards system and will be looking into their other products we can incorporate into both our homeschool and around our home as well!

Picking Eating Solved! FunBites Review

November 27, 2013 by Emilee Evans

Disclosure: I received a FunBites cutter to facilitate my review. Regardless, I only recommend products I feel would be good for my readers. All opinions are mine and those of my family. This post contains affiliate links. Please see my disclosure policy for more information.

FUNBITES

Do you have a picky eater? Or maybe your child isn’t picky but they have special needs like ours. Children with certain special needs like those on the Autism Spectrum or those with Sensory Processing Disorder can face many different eating challenges from texture challenges making it harder to eat large pieces. Cutting up food constantly can be time consuming, and sometimes when we present it and it doesn’t look “just right,” all that effort feels like it has gone to waste! Well, let me tell you what a great idea FunBites is!
FunBites is the food cutter EVERY mom dreams of – not just us moms of special needs kiddos! It is so much more than just a sandwich cutter! FunBites is great for encouraging picky kids to eat by making their food fun! If Bento lunches are your thing (if so, please show me your ways! haha), FunBites are the perfect tool! And yes, FunBites is great for savings time on constantly cutting up food. The best part? It ALWAYS turns out “just right,” so if you also have kids that are picky about presentation (like ours), you won’t have to worry about that, either!
For our review we received their new triangles cutter. I knew the boys wouldn’t be too fond of the hearts, but I wanted something a little more diverse than the squares. It was a good choice because all three kids really liked it! In fact, they insisted on using it right away, so I had to make some toast just so we could try it out!
FunBites Review
There are a few features I really like about FunBites. In addition to the fact that it is easy to use, makes nice shapes every time for nice presentation, and just plain fun, too, I also like that it is made out of BPA free plastic! The kids like to use it, too, and I can let them without the fear that sharp knives give me – especially because they have fine-motor challenges! Despite being plastic, though, it is VERY sturdy. I was surprised how tough it is! It came with a slip of paper that said you can push down really hard because it can handle it. That is definitely true!
To use the FunBites cutter is simple. You just take out the popper, place the cutter over the food and press down, and then use the popper to pop your now bite-size pieces out! Easy peasy! It’s easy to clean, too, because it’s dishwasher safe (on the top shelf).
In addition to making the task of cutting foods easier, it has also made eating more fun in general. Our preschooler (who also happens to be the one who has the hardest time with big pieces and textures as well) has been particularly picky lately. He barely wants a variety of anything anymore, and he used to love everything! I think the move got him all out of sorts. Now that there is an option to make the food fun he is open to eating it again! He has to play with it first to arrange the triangles into different shapes, but why shouldn’t eating be fun? I’m so glad all three of our kids are having fun and enjoying our meal times together in a new creative way!
FunBites would make a great Christmas gift for ANY family with young children!
