Child Up: Early Learning Game Cards and Iphone App {Giveaway}

As a mom I am always looking for educational games for my little one and trying to find new exciting and of course FUN ways to interact with him and teach him at the same time.

Education doesn't just start when your children go to school and the responsibility as a parent to teach and help your children learn way before that can be daunting.  Thankfully there are many resources out there that make it easy to turn play time into learning time. 

ChildUp is one of those great resources that provides excellent information and educational tools to help parents tech their little ones from very early on.

I received a set of their early learning game cards that are designed to be used as an interactive and educational tool  to help develop, by playing, the learning, cognitive and social skills of boys and girls ages 1-5 years old. It is an excellent preparation for school.

The Game cards I received: Teach your Child to Count to 10 - Math & Logic #1 and Teach your Child to Count to 20 - Math & Logic # 2  are designed to teach your child to count to 10 (set #1) and to 20 (set#2) and to teach them to differentiate even and odd numbers and basic subtractions and additions.  You can start teaching your child simple math from age 1 and studies have shown that they are capable of learning and understanding it.

I really like that each set has "parent cards" with lots of information and tips for parents. I enjoyed reader through them and playing with my little one!

I also received a code to try the iCount-to-10 ChildUp Early Learning App for my Iphone and we really like it. I love that I have it with me in my phone and I can play with him anywhere we are at and that it has sounds. I really enjoy showing him the animals and playing the sounds and he loves it as well.

I started the program a bit earlier as he was not 12 months at the time.  I believe this program is beneficial for him and we really enjoy the time we spend playing with the cards and the Iphone App. I am really looking forward to seeing the results in a couple of months but I have already seen his reactions to the cards. He enjoys the game and I love that!

This is a must have item for any parents out there looking for educational products that are easy to use and fun for both you and your child.

Win it: Win 1 of 2 sets of Teach your Child to Count to 10 cards and  Teach your Child to Count to 20 cards plus an 1 of 2  Itunes codes to download the Iphone/Ipad App I reviewed (4 winners total). Click "Read more" below to see the Rafflecopter form and enter to win.
