Not too long ago, I was reading Let's Explore, which is a blog that I love. Always lots of great ideas! While I was reading, I saw this cool spinning letter toy (it's wooden and made in Vermont). I thought it would be perfect for Molly, as we are beginning PreK at home this year.
When it arrived in the mail, we were thrilled with it! Not only did she quickly learn how to sound out the letters and read many of the words on the toy, but she also kept asking me if I wanted to play the "game" with her. 
Yes, there we were, working on early reading skills, and she was thrilled because she was calling it a game!
Since I was already ordering from the shop anyway, I decided that I would finally order the Crayon Rocks that I have seen so many blogs rave about. I always thought they looked neat, but couldn't commit. But, if I was going to be ordering, why not?
We loved the Crayon Rocks as well! Not only are the cool and vibrant colors, but they come in a pouch with a three different color options. Molly was thrilled to have a purple pouch! Apparently this made them seem extra special, as she has been pulling them out to show every single visitor we've had at the house since they arrived.
We also ordered the Wikki Sticks Alphabet Cards to work on during school time as well. We haven't opened them yet, but considering how cool everything else was, I just know that they will be awesome as well!
I can't wait until we place another order from Let's Explore!
In interest of full disclosure, I was not asked to write this nor compensated for it. I just really enjoyed the things we ordered, and wanted to pass along the word!

What fun stuff! My daughter loves bags of rocks and she would be so surprised to find out they are rocks!
I've recently discovered that blog too. There are lots of neat looking products. We were lucky enough to find a letter spinner at a thrift store for a quarter last spring and got it for our little ones. My kids got tired of it after the first hour or so, so we were lucky to find it at a quarter. :)
They do have lots of wonderful looking items!
