Kids Book Club Giveaway Pretty Please Charlie

Here is a little recap from my review posted in Sept ’15:

Kids Book Club giveaway Pretty Please Charlie

KidsBookClub.co.za is a subscription service which caters for kids aged 0-9 years old. Your child will receive 2 age appropriate educational, activity & reading books delivered to your door every month for R145pm (incl. delivery). You also receive a themed carry bag and 2 to 3 magazines for mom and dad for free (which is a nice bonus as I don’t buy magazines).

Other perks:
• You can easily manage your Book Clubs online.
• You can add additional Book Clubs at discounted rates for a 2nd or 3rd child.
• You get access to over 20 free activity & colouring work sheets.
• Your subscription is commitment free (it automatically renews each month but you can cancel anytime).

I really like the themed carry bag (very useful for toy storage) and the activity books have been a hit.

Two of the books we received last month was just perfect as Cara started at a new school this year …

Christmas Gift Ideas For Kids

Have you done your Christmas shopping yet? I actually got a fright this morning when I realised that Chrismas is only a month away. I’ve seen the Christmas decorations in the malls and I’ve heard the carols blasting from the speakers, but I don’t think that it actually sunk in. If you are feeling a bit overwhelmed (like I do), why not have a look at the great Christmas gift options below. These will surely keep the kids away from the TV over the holidays (and then perhaps you can get a turn to catch up on your series).

Christmas Gift Ideas For Kids

If you have a little one who loves books, Kids Book Club is the perfect gift option. I’ve reviewed them before HERE. Cara can’t wait for her book club parcel to arrive every month. And honestly we have not been disappointed. Every month you receive two books for the little one, a cute carry bag and a couple of mags (which is a nice bonus as I don’t ever buy magazines). Below is a pic of some of the books that we’ve received. I like that we’ve built up a nice collection and that it’s a mix of story, educational and activity books. We highly recommend www.KidsBookClub.co.za.

‘Did you know that there are at least 1.5 million ants for every person on earth? Or that goats and sheep have rectangular pupils? And that elephants can be right- or left-tusked?’ Do you have kids in the house who love interesting facts like these? Then Fast Facts by Helen Lewis is a must. The book is fun, colourful and contains 224 pages jam packed with interesting and strange facts for young and old. Cara is still a little young for this one, but it’s definitely on my reading list for December. The recommended price for Fast Facts for Inquisitive Minds is R235, but I saw this morning that it’s available on Takealot for R212. For more great books by Helen Lewis and other great reads, pop on over to Metz Press.
