As a homeschool mom I find Educational Insights products essential in our everyday learning. Yes, my children need to learn from their curriculum  but I like to make our homeschool enjoyable and that's where Educational Insights products come in. Whether it be teaching math, science, spelling or history Educational Insights has products for all ages. I am currently teaching my preschooler his ABC's, my toddler and baby textures and with 4 children it gets loud so what are the products Educational Insights that work perfectly for these learning opportunities?

Alpha Catch
Alpha Catch is the fast-paced, physical way to practice letter names and sounds. Kids take turns tossing self-stick balls, catching them with the sticky catcher's mitts, and playing fun phonics games about the letters on each ball. It's a phonemic awareness home run!

Games include:
~ Letter Line Up - "What letter is that?"
~ Ace the Sound - "What sound does that letter make?"
~ Beginning Sounds Catch - "Say a word that begins with that sound!"
~ Ending Sounds Catch - "Say a word that ends with that sound!"
~ Middle Sounds Catch - "Say a word that has that sound in the middle!"
~ Word Catch - "Can you make a word with the letters you caught?"
~ Round Robin Play - "All questions above are asked as a group of kids tosses and catches the balls

My preschooler loves baseball so using this game/activity to teach him is ABC's I found very useful and at the same time not only was he learning but he got to play while learning! I also played it with my toddler who I threw the ball to her glove and she had to name the color.

Although this product is recommended for PreK my baby enjoyed the different textures. He was fascinated by them. He likes to throw so he would hold them and enjoy the textures and them throw them crawl to them and them hold them again. My preschooler and toddler enjoyed describing the textures to me and then matching them into pairs.

I love this No Yell Bell because our house gets loud with our big family! One of my New Years Resolutions is to try to speak more softly, the No Yell Bell helps me to do just that. It definitely gets my children's attention and is perfect for our homeschool. I like how there are different calls and I can even give them praise with the applause effect!
