Review of the Dot to Dot Connections Making Tracks Connections Box

Dot to Dot Connections Making Tracks Connections Box on a wood floor with text. @ellanewriter watermark.


I got in contact with Dot to Dot Connections because their Instagram feed is full of activities to do with children that seem fun and educational, and they sent me their “Making Tracks Connections Box.”
WHAT’S IN THE BOX?

Open Dot to Dot Connections Making Tracks Connections Box with a flash card that lists all of the items in the box.
This is what you see when you first open the box.

I had no idea that I would be getting so many activities in one box!
Open Dot to Dot Connections Making Tracks Connections Box with the tissue paper torn open and an envelope sitting on top of the other items in the box. There's a card on it that reads, "Thank you!"
The envelope that says "Thank you!" contains the activity instruction cards and a book.

All of the activities are clearly explained on small cardstock sheets and all of the items needed for each activity are neatly packaged and labeled inside the box.

A small wooden effigy of a man, a foam animal print, a cloth pouch with animals on it, and other items in labeled sandwich bags.
Look at how beautifully organized this box is! 

There are nine different activities, but this box could easily last you two to three weeks if you spread out the activities. We did three activities every week, so this box lasted us about three weeks.

    Thank you sooooo much for featuring my box on your site. I am so happy that you and Leia had fun with it and hope that many wonderful connections and memories were made (From your pictures, I’d say that is true!)

I started vlogging last month, and I even wrote a blog post about what I learned from vlogging on my own , but the biggest lesson I learned about vlogging on my own is how little I actually knew about vlogging . So when I found “Vlog Like a Boss,” I was excited to learn how a professional YouTuber makes her videos, so that I can try and do the same. You can read about how I found the class here. Here’s an outline of the things I learned about in Amy Schmittauer ’s class, “Vlog Like a Boss” on CreativeLive : Screen cap of "Vlog Like a Boss" on CreativeLive. Tips on how to get comfortab

Mom Confessions: Things You Said You'd Never Do as a Parent, But You Did

Image
Do you remember a time before you became a mom? A time when you’d see moms giving their children a tablet to watch cartoons while having lunch? Or changing their babies’ diapers right in the booth where they were eating? And you thought, “I will never do that when I have a kid.” But then, you find yourself with a shrieking human being in your arms that depends on you for everything, and you find yourself slowly letting go of all those expectations and doing all of those same things you said you’d never do. Well, it turns out that you’re not alone. I asked other moms this question: What is something you said you’d never do as a parent, but ended up doing? I started off the #momconfessions, “I said I’d never put a leash on my child. I bought one when she turned two.” Below are the #momconfessions that some honest, kickass Instagram moms shared: Le t Me Count the Ways “Gosh. Haha... What a great question! Where do I start? Bed sharing, breastfeeding past one year,

What To Do About a Picky Eater?

Image
My husband walks out of the kitchen in a huff, “I’m done,” he says running his fingers through his hair, “I don’t know what else to do. You try.” We cannot get our four-year-old daughter, Leia, to eat. We’ve tried not giving her any snacks so she’s hungry for mealtime and negotiating bribes of desserts/outings/toys/gold/diamonds at the end of a meal. These tactics seem to work at first, but after the novelty wears off, she flexes her stubborn-muscle and squarely refuses to eat. She then uses that muscle to play a game of tug of war with us where she drags our asses through a mud pit and leaves us with bruised cheeks, low morale, and a fair amount of post-traumatic stress. Leia’s entire diet consists of: 1. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. 2. Tyson’s Dinosaur Chicken Nuggets or McNuggets (and heaven forbid you try to feed her any other kind of chicken nugget or chicken in any other form!). 3. Pizza Hut, Little Caesar’s, Papa John’s, or certain local pizzeria piz
