I have a daughter who is in Montessori school. she is 4 years old.
every time we went to Bookstore or Target store. my daughter likes to play with Mobi Go V. Reader or Leap frog Tag reader system.
I saw a good deal at Target or Toy rus for those toys. however, my husband and i are still debating that should we get one or not?
Does it necessary to have one of those learning system?
Any suggestion?
My daughter is 4 and has been going to Montessori since about 18 months. She LOVES her Leapster, and for her 3rd birthday, two of her Montessori classmates bought her tech-toys (kid laptops). Necessary? Maybe not....but fun!
She even has a real computer in her playroom with a preschool game that she loves as well.
We used www.starfall.com with our montessori toddler.
save your money, get her real books. there are free games online. my daughter loves PBSkids but for learning to read nothing replaces a good old fashion library book.
We spent so much money on leapfrog, etc., and my son barely used them.
Do you spend a lot of time in the car? Do you have younger children that could use them next? Is Montessori a full day, or is your daughter at home a lot?
If not, I wouldn't waste the money. Buy some creative Montessori toys.
Well, my son is just a run of the mill public school kid, but we got him a leap pad computer when he was 3 and his Grandma got him the Leapster with the books also when he was 3 and he loved them. When he outgrew them, my daughter played with them too. Great as a toy, not to be used to supplement actual reading and learning. My kids (6 and 8) have now outgrown them, but they still work after about 5 yrs of being "played" with.
