By 10 Comments

With the holiday season upon, I have one thing on my mind! Well two things. Christmas cookies… and what to get my son for the holiday. Luckily, I don’t have to spend too much time thinking (and can spend more time enjoy those Christmas cookies) since I know there is the gift my son always enjoys… books! Even at 5 years old, he loves loves loves combing through books. Sure he’s still learning the read, but he enjoys looking at the photos, and of course, asking me tons of questions while I read to him. He’s at the age where he wants to soak up as knowledge. Thanks to National Geographic Kids, giving the gift of knowledge is quite simple this year with their selection of amazing books.

I received complimentary product(s) to facilitate this review from the sponsoring company. This is 100% my own honest opinion.

Fun & Smart Play with VTech's Cody the Smart Cub™! ~ #ReviewWatching my son grow from a baby into a little boy has been such a fun and thrilling journey. It’s hard to believe that next month he will be 2 and a half years old! I’m always on the lookout for toys that are not only fun and keep his attention during playtime, but also have an educational and learning aspect to help his mind grow. could not have arrived at our doorstep at a more perfect time!

This lovable plus bear is the latest addition to VTech’s line of infant and preschool toys geared towards early learning skills. Geared towards ages 6 months to 36 months, your child will be introduced to valuable every-day life skills. For instance, they may learn their first words and emotions, and as they grow, they will learn more about daily life routines.

Fun & Smart Play with VTech's Cody the Smart Cub™! ~ #ReviewAs soon as I pulled the bear out of the box, my son couldn’t wait to see him! I didn’t even get him out of the packaging before my little man was pushing on the tummy and heart to make it light up. It was not long before his favorite activity with Cody was to give him high-fives! Cody also responds to hugging, and tickling. My son definitely got a kick out of that!
