New Product from YBCR

[Mela Bala]

I will post my review as soon as we get to use the product.  I just got the email confirmation and they said - You can expect to receive your items between 04/21/11 and 04/26/11.  If anyone has any specific questions that would help me know what to write about.

Thank you, Krista, for pointing this out!

Krista, I was able to get free shipping on my from Babies R Us by having it shipped to the store.  It is a bit of a pain to go get it, but cheaper than the $10 in shipping, especially since I need to go anyway.

Here are the first two pictures.

Here are two more of the inside. I apologize if there is a glare. I used my daughter's camera and could't figure out how to shut off the flash.

Awesome, Tracy.  Thank you so much.  Kizudo and I might order this so we can get the free shipping .  I will keep you posted.

I got mine from the store today and watched a little bit of a couple of the DVDs, just to check it out.  I really like it.  My 5 year old step daughter watched with me and really enjoyed them.  My son was napping, but I think they will hold his attention.  They cover a variety of topics.  I am particularly happy with the music exposure!  I have been looking for more ways to teach him pitch. 

I looked at some of the books with my step daughter, and she seemed interested.  However, I think they will be a bit over my son's head (5 months).  They may be good reinforcement in a few months.  I guess I can't complain, the age range on the set says 1-7 years.

Thanks for the post.  The music that you are talking about, is it on the CD?  It is good to know that they cover a broad age range.  I was wondering if my 4 year old will enjoy them.  I am still waiting to order.  Maybe tomorrow.

Hey

So, my daughter got the YCCR DVDs and 6 mini sliding books and the YCCL books all of the same books in the YCCD set. I am very interested in the DVDS but I was very unhappy with the shape book. To me all the shapes in the book were weird looking. Not traditional petagon or octogon ect. If anyone can tell me if this is normal...I am going to be looking into the dvds on toys r us to see if I can get them without the books.

[Kballent]

The DVDs show music and pitch in addition to the CD.

I noticed the books did that with the shapes also.  I think it is because they are just defining them as polygons, not as equilateral ones.  One clip from the DVD I saw did distinguish equilateral, isosceles, and scalene triangles.  They also showed talked about some other equilateral shapes.  I kind of like it.  I think I might go back and make the distinctions in the power point slides I was working on for him, so he knows that a heptagon has 7 sides no matter their orientation.

Thanks for your comments on this product.  It helped me understand it is different from Sparkabilities.   I am looking forward to when we receive it.  I wish I had picked the ship to store option, we have to wait until next week. I noticed that on the toy r us website they reccomend the YBCD for ages 1 to 3.  From what you describe I think it is appropriate for what the YBCR has.  Im glad your step daughter is enjoying the dvd.  How has your son responded to them?

1) Does anyone know if this is available from their local TRU in store on the shelf? (no shipping required)

2) Does anyone know if the free downloads are included when purchasing from TRU or if you have to order through the manufacturer directly to get that bonus?

THANKS!

[Krista G]

I just ordered it, so I can answer the download question next week.  I am not sure if you have to order it or can buy it at the store.  They will ship it to the store free, so maybe they do not stock it.

[TeachingMyToddlers]

I just called my TRU and they DO have it in stock on the shelves. Which is great because they always send me 20% off coupons in the mail and I am all about immediate gratification, no shipping. 

For those of you that ordered, when you get your kits let me know on the downloads! Thanks.

[Krista G]

TeachingMyToddlers, that is great!  I don't have a TRU near me.  That would have been a great option.  If no one else let's you know, I will when we get them between Tuesday and Thursday next week.  Those 20% off coupons are good on anything?  I saw online that they had a space for promotional code but I couldn't find one online.
