Ever wonder why the digital wrist watch was invented?  Because telling time on an analog watch can be difficult at times, especially for young learners.  What's even more difficult are those elapsed time math problems that teachers continue to ask..."if Billy left home at 8:45 AM on a 6.5 hour train trip to New York, what time will Billy arrive?"

For a math problem such as this, it's often helpful to have a visual guide.  That's why the Watch It! Elapsed Time Clock from Educational Insights was created.  This teacher-invented learning tool is the simplest, clearest way to teach elapsed time...and it doesn't even use batteries!

Now that fall is here, you know what that means...the holidays are literally around the corner.  Soon, you may find yourself in a house filled to capacity with friends and relatives, all looking for a fun source of entertainment.  In situations such as these, I usually suggest playing board games.

Board games are definitely more fun than sitting in front of the television, and they create the perfect situation for both sharing and making wonderful memories together.  Because I'm such a board game nut, I'm always on the hunt for exciting and interesting games to play with my family.  Morphology from Morphology Games has quickly become my new favorite for hilarious fun!  Keep reading to learn more!

Money:  some say it makes the world go round, but one thing's for sure...kids have to know how to use it.  Money math problems are oftentimes viewed as particularly challenging for younger students, so Learning Resources has developed a fun and easy way to strengthen basic money skills:  the Cash Bash Electronic Flash Card.

Monopoly is one of my favorite board games of all time.  I've spent countless hours amassing my imaginary fortunes and planning my strategies to dominate all.  Unfortunately, after a while, even the classics can become a little stale, which is why Monopoly has revamped itself with a brand new edition: Monopoly Millionaire.

The main change in this version of Monopoly is that instead of trying to be the one person who sends everyone else to bankruptcy, it's a race to be the first player to accumulate one million dollars.  Monopoly Millionaire has a few more surprises in store too.  Keep reading to learn more!

What person on this planet hasn't played or at least heard of the classic game, Twister?  Not too many, if I had to guess.  Twister is one of the first games I can remember playing at middle school parties and it never ceased to make everyone involved crack up laughing.

Now, Hasbro has created Twister Dance, a modern "twist" on the original game which reminds me a lot of the super popular Dance, Dance Revolution.  Except with Twister Dance, you will be doing the latest steps on the four classic Twister dots...with the help of Britney Spears.  Keep reading to learn more!

Little girls and horses seem to go together like peanut butter and jelly.  My daughter loves animals of all kinds, but especially horses.  She also finds endless fascination and excitement when playing with her dolls because the world she plays in then is completely of her own creation.

Battat is a high-quality toy designer that my family has been enjoying for years, so when I came to learn of their new Our Generation line of dolls, naturally I was intrigued.

Battat generously allowed me to review an Our Generation horse named Morgan as well as her faithful friend, Lily Anna.  Not only did this 20" posable horse and 18" posable doll look super sweet and inviting for little girls, they came with a ton of appropriate accessories to really kick up the fun.
