Poppins Book Nook #8: Autumn Fun Find

October 28, 2013 By: amyswandering3 Comments

autumn fun find printable

It is time once again for Poppins Book Nook and this month’s theme is Seasons!

Autumn is my favorite season, so OF COURSE that is what we focused on ;). I made an Autumn Find worksheet for Sweetpea to do after we talked about the different seasons. It was interesting to look at the seasons on a preschool level so she would recognize them.

I brainstormed a few words for each season:

~Winter~

  • cold
  • darker
  • scarf & mittens
  • snow (well, before we moved to Florida LOL)
  • sledding
  • hot chocolate
  • Christmas
  • New Year’s Eve

~Spring~

  • flowers
  • rain
  • windy
  • kites
  • warmer
  • green leaves
  • Easter

~Summer~

  • hot
  • sunny
  • beach
  • swimming
  • vacation
  • water balloons
  • watermelon
  • popsicles
  • Fourth of July

~Autumn~

  • falling leaves
  • cooler
  • back to school
  • squirrels
  • acorns
  • pumpkins
  • Halloween
  • Thanksgiving

Moshi Monsters Super Fan Pack {Giveaway}

October 24, 2013 By: amyswanderingcomment

Moshi Monsters Logo - Copy

My kids love Moshi Monsters and have each had a free account for several years. They were so excited when they found out that we were going to be doing a giveaway on the blog!

Moshi Monsters live in Monstro City. Your child creates a Monster and takes care of it by providing food & entertainment. Food is purchased with Rox, which are earned by playing the Daily Challenge and solving Practice Puzzles. The puzzles might test vocabulary, math, or logic skills. The puzzles get harder or easier, depending on whether your child is advancing or struggling.

There are limited social networking features on Moshi Monsters, providing a safe place for my kids and their friends to play. They send each other gifts and visit each other’s houses. During the sign-up process, the parent will receive an email that must be approved and then you will be able to choose what info you do & don’t want available on your child’s profile.

With so much fun available on the free membership, you might be wondering why anyone would purchase a membership. I did too, until we received a free 3-month membership to try out. It unlocks a whole list of new places to visit, missions to complete, and moshlings to collect! Membership is $5.95 a month, or get one year for $49.95- that is the price of just one new video game! Individual memberships can get quite pricey with several kids, so we decided to experiment and let three kids share the membership. They created the monster together and either take turns playing, or play together. I’m thinking a one-year membership might show up at Christmas 😉 . If you would like to give one as a gift, you can buy membership cards at Walmart, Target, Toys R Us, GameStop, Walgreens, and 7-11.

Moshi Monsters has a new line of Moshling Collectible Figures, just perfect for stocking stuffers! They start at only $2.99 and can be purchased at select Justice and Build a Bear stores.

{I realized I put poor little I.G.G.Y. upside-down, but the contents of our pack are now being played with all over the house. Stand on your head if you need a good look! LOL}

Would you like to win a Moshi Monsters Super Fan Pack? 

It contains:

  • (1) 3-month membership card
  • (3) 3-day friendship membership cards
  • trading cards
  • mini magazine
  • stickers
  • Collectible Moshling Figurine
  • I.G.G.Y. soft toy

Giveaway ends Tuesday, October 29th, and is open to U.S. residents only.
