Hey Butterflies!

About two months ago I introduced you guys to the Kids Academy Educational Apps for Kids, the apps have since been updated with a couple of cool new features. Check it out...

Kids Academy | Educational Apps for Children

 

Preschool & Kindergarten Learning Kids Game Educational Books & Free Songs

This app is by far my favorite of all the Kid Academy apps! Kids are entertained and mentally stimulated at the same time. This app has it all...games, songs kids can sing along to, story telling and a ton of things kids can learn! Unlike when I originally downloaded the app, the update was very fast. The recent update improved the overall performance of the app and dded new games, math worksheets and a geometry section.

Bugs, Shapes and Robots Face Paint for Toddlers

FREE for a limited time! (usually $2.99)

This Kid Academy app is great for kids beginning to learn the different shapes by teaching through tracing. The design extras such as bright colors, sounds and moving objects are great for keeping your little one's attention. I had a little trouble with the app freezing the first time I opened it after the download but its been great ever since.  I strongly recommend this app for parents with toddler aged kids.

Bargain Shopping: Introducing the NEW Educents Marketplace

Update: The Educents Marketplace has been discontinued and is no longer providing services.

Introducing the NEW Educents Marketplace I just received an email from the founders of Educents, K ate and Kaitlyn, with some really exciting news. Until today, Educents was a website f or parents and educators to take advantage of daily deals. But those deals expired. .. And there were only 50 deals available at once... I wanted saving money to be even EA SIER. Kate and Kaitlyn agreed. So they created the new Educents Marketplace. It’ s even easier to discover affordable educational resources that make learning FUN!

Thousands of new products - Educents Sell ers can now offer ALL of their bestsellers on the new Educents Marketplace. There' s a wide variety of worksheets, lesson plans, educational apps and toys. Shop < a href="http://www.educents.com/the-young-scientist-club?ut m_source=EducentsBlog&a mp;utm_medium=AffiliateAnnouncement&utm_campaign= announcing-the-new-ed ucents-marketplace">The Young Scientists Club, Scholastic, Workman Publishing, Alpha Omega Publishing, Life of Fred books, hundreds of printable units created by educators, and more ! Offers that NEVER expire - Sellers can offer our favorite educational products year-round. Once a deeply discounted Dai ly Deal expires, you can still find that product available on Educents at the low est price. Discovery - It's easier to search on Educe nts. Search for your kiddos' interests like Minecraft or Frozen-inspired resources, an d then sort by grade level, subject, brand, and more!

The Educents Marketplace is exactly what I want it to be -- the best place for parents and educators to find the resources I NEED at an affordable price.    

Fashion Trends: Anjolee Online Jewelry Store

This is a sponsored post.

Hey Butterflies! I recently came across a site that sells high end diamond  jewelry online and I wanted to share it with you guys. The name of the company is Anjolee, which was founded in 1977 as a manufacturer specializing in fine diamond jewelry. All pieces featured on Anjolee.com can be customized according to preference of metal type, diamond size, diamond/gemstone quality, and length/size. 

Kids Academy Apps...Educational Apps for Kids

This post was created in partnership with Mom Buzz Media. All opinions are my own.

Hey Butterflies, there's nothing I love more than knowledge, because it truly is power. If you're looking for something fun and educational to keep your little human's mind growing, here are a few educational Apps from Kids Academy available on iTunes & Google Play for FREE for a limited time!

Preschool & Kindergarten Baby Books, Songs, and Early Reading Toddler Games - This app is AWESOME! Kids are entertained and mentally stimulated at the same time. This app has it all...games, songs the kids can sing along to, story telling and a ton of things kids can learn! I did notice that it takes a REALLY long time to download which I'm guessing is because there is so much to do on this app. Download this game for FREE on iTunes

123 Tracing Numbers: Montessori Math Game for Kids - The Montessori Math game is like learning numbers and how to write them but in a game format which is more likely to catch a kids attention. This Kid Academy app has really great graphics and is very interactive (as are all of kid Academy apps). Download this game for FREE on iTunes for FREE for a limited time! Normally $3.99!

ABC Preschool Games for Kids

ABC Preschool Games for kids in the google play store is an ok app. To me the games are a little basic and could be a little more challenging but understanding that it's for preschoolers its enough to teach and entertain at the same time. I wish this app was available in the Apple app store though.

Download this game for FREE on Google Play

Free for a limited time! Normally $2.99

Finance: Got the Textbooks Blues? Checkout CampusBookRentals.com & RentBack.com

 

We're about two weeks into the fall semester and I know a few college student that still have not purchased their textbooks :( and trust me I know what it's like. It's like do I use this money for food/gas or do I buy my textbooks?! LOL! Anyway just wanted to remind you guys about CampusBookRentals.com and introduce to you RentBack.com.

RentBack is new initiative that allows students to rent the textbooks they own - to other students... which is awesome because it makes them 2-4x more money compared to what they'd make through buyback options! (selling their books back at the end of the semester) Awesome right?!

How does it work?:  

Renting Perks:
 

-save 40-90% off of bookstore prices

-free shipping both ways

-you can highlight in the textbooks (my favorite)

-flexible renting periods

-they donate to Operation Smile with each textbook rented

-etc...(you can find more perks at on their website :)

Tech Tip: Send a Free Greeting Card!

I really, really dislike giving bad reviews so the only thing I can say about the greeting card from "Send Out Cards" is that I never received the actual items I needed to complete this review. Not really sure what happen, I did try reaching out to the company but never received a response. I would more than likely not use this company to send cards in the future. I am really curious as to how other bloggers experience with Send Out has been?
