ChildUp: Help Your Child Succeed {Review + Giveaway}

Most parents want to do everything they can at home with their children to help them succeed academically. ChildUp offers tools that can help this process along.

 

For 6 years now, the ChildUp Team of early childhood development experts and dedicated parents has been providing information and solutions for parents who intend to raise successful, balanced, and happy children.

Along the way, ChildUp has developed a series of efficient educational tools: the ChildUp Online Parenting Courses, the ChildUp Early Learning Game Cards, the ChildUp Early Learning Applications, and the ChildUp Early Learning Method.

 

ChildUp recently contacted me about reviewing some of their educational tools for little ones…more specifically, the ChildUp Early Learning Game Cards and the app iCount-to-10 for the iPhone and iPad.

 

 

The cards come in two sets:

 

The ChildUp Math and Logic #1 cards is the first set, appropriate for ages 1-5. (Research has shown that children under the age of 5 can learn effectively simple concepts such as numbers and counting with help and guidance from a caregiver.)

 

The Math and Logic #2 cards teach your children numbers on up to 20.

 

By using these sequentially, with an adult, any child will, in a matter of a few months, be able to learn to count up to 20, differentiate between odd and even numbers, and do basic subtraction and addition. A bonus is that animals are pictured on each card which will also, in turn, foster vocabulary and language skills.

 

The iCount-to-10 app allows children to count up to 10 just as the cards do, as well as offer 40 different animal species with corresponding sounds, something my little ones were especially enamored with.

 

The app is available for $1.99 on iTunes and each set of Early Learning Game Cards is $9.99.

 

Win it!
Courtesy of the folks at ChildUp, one of you will win one set of each of the two types of Early Learning Game Cards as well as a code to download the iCount-to-10 app!
