Something that made me chuckle - I stumbled across the Peter Weatherall videos on youtube the other day (there's a video above) and I started playing the Polygon song -
https://emea.salesforce.com/00Q2000000AgxvE for my son. We only watched about 3/4 of it. He's almost 2 1/2. I went on to other videos and didn't think twice about it.
The next day he's coloring, points to his paper at his scribbles and says "Look mom, its a octagon!" (I'm very surprised to say the least, since I've never taught him other shapes besides basic ones)
That is cute!!! Well I believe it was Nikita who posted here about Peter Weaterall Thanks Nikita!) - his dvds are Great and very affordable, I went to his website and was happily surprised with the content and ordered 3 sets (2 science and 1 math) -
One set includes 2 DVDs and 2CDs for $10 including shipping!! it is unbeatable !! The author loves teaching and his charge is basically to cover expenses (shipping and cds) worth looking into.
I will post my review as soon as I get them. This is one of the sets I ordered.
