I am absolutely in love with the cover for the final Fallen Blade book. My editor, Anne Sowards, has done amazing things for me with these books. I adore all six of my John Jude Palencar covers.
Should you be so inclined it's worth noting that the book is available for preorder. Here are a couple of direct links: Amazon. Barnes and Noble. Nook. Kindle. Or, you could preorder via your local independent book store and support me and local business.
Drawn Blades Launch Day
October 28, 2014 in Books, Readings and Signings
So, I wrote this book called Drawn Blades and it's out today, and I'd really appreciate it if you'd tell everyone and maybe buy a copy. It's the 5th book in my Fallen Blade series and I'm really excited about it. Here's a sample of chapter one.
Details: I'm doing a reading tonight October 28th at Barnes and Noble in Roseville MN at 7pm, with a Q&A and signing after. I'm also going to be doing a signing on Nov 1st at Uncle Hugo's who will happily take orders for and ship custom signed books if you contact them.
If you can't make one of the events, you can still get a book. Buy links:

Move the food closer thumb-monkey, my feet are cold.
Ooh, excellent plan. Bring me my dinner thumb-monkey!
And then, dance for me! Dance thumb-monkey, dance!
I am so embarrassed for you all…but I do kind of want to see the thumb-monkey dance.
I have seen the thumb-monkeys dance. You do NOT want to see it.
YOU are NOT my thumb-monkey, and I do NOT want dancing with my dinner.
I am noble cat! Take my photo thumb-monkey. Make me as famous as I deserve.
Stupid thumb-monkey gave me a pill…though he did feed me. So I guess he'll do.

ConClave 38 GoH Con Report
October 13, 2014 in About Kelly, Events/Appearaces
I got home from my Guest of Honor appearance at ConClave 38 late last night and then went down hard for about 12 hours. I've now had a good long soak in the hot tub and some time to process a really fantastic con experience. So, here are my recollections in no particular order.
First, I had a great time, and I'd like to thank the whole ConCom for taking such good care of me. The whole process for this convention was super smooth for me, from the invite, through handing them off to my travel agent to make the plane arrangements, getting my schedule sorted, my pick up at the airport, the con itself, and my return to the airport and flight home. This is me in the official (not really) GoH wall niche, on Friday.
I had a total of nine programming items. That included a laid back meet and greet with hot beverages provided by the con and time to sit down and really chat with fans, which was lovely, and a reading + Q&A session where I read a bit of Drawn Blades and talked with folks about writing and the industry and my own work. My other seven items were part of the lit track panels and I got to have some great discussions about writing.
I'm not going to name all the folks I had fun with on programming, as I will inevitably forget someone, and I hate doing that, but should note here that I spent a lot of time paneling with M. Keaton who is an absolute delight as a panelist as well as the writer of an awful lot of published fiction. I also went to his children's reading as several people told me I had to hear him read his short humorous story for children: Troll Snot. They were not wrong. It's a fun story and the reading was a blast. I will note for the record that it's criminal that no one has yet picked this story up for publication. It would go well in a magazine or antho focused on trolls or goblins, or as a stand alone illustrated children's book. Someone, do something about that. There's money to be made there, and I will cheerfully buy the first copy off the press.
Laura modeling the "I met Kelly McCullough at ConClave ribbons" they gave me to hand out.
Another highlight included a round of me learning just how badly out of practice I am with knife throwing, on Saturday night with the Sal Sanfrantello and some of the other folks at Aegis Consulting, who teach various sorts of western European martial arts. They gave me a lovely set of Aegis throwing gears and a fresh resolve to dig my old throwing knives out of the toy box and set up a target somewhere. I was quite good at it once upon a time back in the '80s and early '90s.
The program had one of my favorite pictures of me and Laura on it as the centerpiece—taken a couple of years ago by the marvelous Matt Kuchta—with the covers of my first ten novels flanking, which was cool and surreal. Hey, look, I'm on the cover of a con program! How the hell did that happen? Also, my first ten novels…I don't even. I lead a rather surreal life these days. Basically, I've grown up to be pretty much exactly what nine year old me would have wanted me to grow up to be. Well, inasmuch as I've grown up. I am incredibly fortunate. Thanks to Jennifer Dye for the cover and for all the cool stuff on the interior including box quotes from a number of my books scattered throughout.
I got to indulge my inner magpie at Amber Fox Jewelry in the dealers room where I picked up two sets of stud earrings in amber and two in jet—I've four pierces on the left side. We also got a tiny and adorable knitted xmas cthulhu. I only briefly got to chat with Tom Barber who ran the dealers room and had all of my books ready to sign at the first available opportunity.
I met a bunch of enthusiastic fans and made a few new ones. That included a really lovely and ego boosting chat with some folks from the Dorsai Irregulars.
I didn't get to see any of what the folks from the Intrigue Factory were doing, but it all looked like a lot of fun and I did get to do a group photo with them after not closing ceremonies. I would love to bump into them again at a con somewhere when I have a bit more time. Oh, and that's Con Chair Jody Harrow there to my right in the teeshirt with the silver image on the front.
Sue Stahl, who ran programming, was great at getting me the programming I wanted and not overloading me. Thanks also to her and her husband who played chauffeur for us coming and going.
The few times I made into the con suite, Susan Harris and Patricia Altergott were wonderful hosts.
An enormous and entertaining man who goes by the name of Ox very politely kissed the top of my head—for luck I think.
I signed about a zillion books, a couple of badges, and at least one book plate.
There was a big shiny gift basket waiting for us in the room when we checked in.
We missed the Regency dancing due to schedule conflicts and much to Laura's dismay.
I got a shiny polychromatic GoH ribbon for my badge.
And a ConClave GoH mug that is now up on the shelf with my CONvergence GoH trophy—not the skull, that's unrelated bric-a-brac.
An incredibly sweet woman named Kimba (last name unknown) adopted Laura as a celiac buddy and kept her plied with all kinds of gluten free goodies while she was off grading and being a G0H con widow.
I'd like to give special thanks to Jody Harrow the con chair, who kept taking time out from the usual chair job of solving all of everybody's problems to make extra sure that I was all right and that Laura was getting fed properly—always a concern with her celiac issues. On that front Jody arranged a special sit down with the hotel chef, Guillermo (I think—I'm terrible with names) who kept good track of us and had special cards made up for Laura to give the staff whenever she ate in the hotel restaurant. I only got to chat with Jody a few times given our mutual schedules but I had fun when we did.
On the way home we stopped and took some video of the super fancy fountain in the Detroit airport. You can't see it here, but the water projectors do a pulsed release thing that sent discrete packets of water moving around in an intricate pattern.
Also at the airport, we stopped at the Irish pub for dinner and drink. Jameson for me Strongbow for my lovely spouse.
And I think that's all I've got for now, but I reserve the right to add things later as they occur. I will inevitably have forgotten to thank someone I ought or note something really cool that I got to do, because I am terrible that way. My apologies if the cool or wonderful person I forgot was you.
First P.S. I forgot the tee-shirt… If you ever wanted a tee-shirt featuring me, this may be your one and only chance…
That's sooooo surreal…

Put more attention in your employees. Take the time to notice what they do and what they contribute.

With the poor leadership in your local districts and with your distric leaders conflicting information and zero accountability, you are going to continue to lose great associates. Great job, promoting and parading idiots.
It would be very helpful to your company, when, during a corporate visit, your executives actually speak to the associates and stop walking around with scowls on their face. It would also improve moral greatly if you acknowledged the contributions the store staff made, instead of merely pointing our what they are "NOT DOING". Its quite tragic, when you assess the level of accountability on the corporate scale. You are always asking more from the store, but never giving anything more than a passable attitude to it all.

Very clean actually,dont be cheap and buy chears to enjoj the sun,or you will be full of sand.sea is to swim or to walk in shallow,ideal for kids
This is a good beach for children as the slope into the sea is gentle and sandy. There are showers and toilets and changing rooms available at no cost. The beach bar is well run and good value for money. There are healthy options for food and drink as well as chips and hamburger type meals. It does get very...
The sea can be a bit rough with large waves and uneven ground. The beaches are not very large so can become crowded.
Very busy, a lot of sun loungers and parasols for hire. Plenty of water activities. Sand gets extremely hot to walk on in summer months!
During our recent visit to Paphos we visited the municipal beach , and found that it was only a small strip of beach with a bar . The sunbeds were much cheaper to hire than Spain at only 2 euros but they were so close together because of the actual size of the area. Coral Bay a bus ride away...
Changing room, toilets and showers are cleaned during the day.. Sometimes crowded but enogh sunbeds and umbrellas. Unfortunately there are no trees.
Good price of 7.50 euro for 2 beds and parasol (only about 10 available in one spot), not much quality sand on beach but entry into sea water was fairly rock free with nice soft sand under foot , adult supervision required with children, nice breeze during Sept, no public toilets (we used hotel didn't seem a problem) beach bar...
a lovely walk from beach into paphos harbour, would recommend a look. beach bar / eating place a bit scruffy looking but did not try out food or drinks so may be ok.
Like most public beaches not always the cleanest place in town, lacks sufficient toilet facilities. Get crowded in Summer and weekends.
Good promenade and nice for a stroll to the fake castle at the end. Cafes, water sports and boat hires all very keen for your business but with a polite 'no thanks' they will not give any hassle.

The Art of Memoryby Frances Amelia Yates
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The Art of Memory is the classic study of how people learned to retain vast stores of knowledge before the invention of the printed page. In it, Frances A. Yates traces the art of memory from its treatment by Greek orators, through its Gothic transformations in the Middle Ages, to the occult forms it took in the Renaissance, and finally to its use in the seventeenth century. This book, the first to relate the art of memory to the history of culture as a whole, was revolutionary when it first appeared and continues to mesmerize readers with its lucid and revelatory insights.
Book News Annotation:
A reprint of the 1966 Chicago edition. It is copublished with Routledge, K.P.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO)-- (1) Iowa Western kept their JUCO dreams alive by beating (7) Spartanburg Methodist in Game 5. Iowa Western dropped their first game against San Jacinto on Saturday, but they were able to bounce back against the Pioneers.
Andy Roberts of Iowa Western pitched six and one-third innnings. He struck out seven and allowed only one run on six hits. Pascal Paul closed out game for the Reivers, posting a strikeout and giving up just one hit.
Spartanburg scored a run in the top of the seventh inning, but were unable to rally. SMC lost their first game against Neosho County, and as a result of Sunday's loss, the Pioneers out of South Carolina are the first team to be eliminated from the 2012 JUCO World Series.
Iowa Western advances in the elimination bracket and will play their next game on Monday at 10am.

The Golden Rules of Stand Up Paddling:
It's not everyday that you get to see through the eyes of the Burton Snowboards living legend Dave Downing, especially on a splitboard. Splitting with the new Burton Family Tree Landlord splitboard (regular board & splitboard options availble in Fall 2013), new Burton Spark R&D Afterburner bindings, and Burton AK outerwear Dave took to Lake Tahoe the old fashion way, he earned his turns.
"Horgasm- A Love Story" is a documentary that follows Norwegian pro snowboarder and DC Team Rider Torstein Horgmo as he travel's the world filming and spreading the joy that is snowboarding. If you dont have time to watch the full movie make sure to check out the end because this kid has some of the best style I have ever seen.
Here is the one and only Blake Geis repping Nitro Snowboards hard in a raw one clip One Run edit. March 5th was a good day for Blake, sun, fun, and a sick lap on a Nitro T1. Get it bbbooooiiiii.

The Arcade Fire
By Ryan Schreiber , February 14, 2005
Today is only the six-month anniversary of the release of the Arcade Fire's debut full-length, Funeral, but it must already seem like an eternity for the band itself. Last September, they were just another modest Montréal collective whose album liners failed to distinguish between core members and peripheral contributors. Now most fans have a pretty good idea as to who's responsible for the meat of the album-- frontman Win Butler, his demure but fiery bride Régine Chassagne, his brother William, and lanky, red-headed multi-instrumentalist Richard Reed Perry-- if not how it came to fruition.
The last two seasons have seen the group swarmed by the press and saturated with critical adoration-- Pitchfork voted Funeral the best album of 2004, while the Village Voice's annual Pazz & Jop list, which this year polled nearly 800 of the most influential critics, placed it at a respectable #6, ahead of U2, Modest Mouse and Wilco-- while their live show, known for its raucous intensity and passionate playing, has won nearly unanimous praise from fans.
Their momentum may have only just begun to build: In the past month, they've broken the Clear Channel barrier to receive heavy rotation on the influential Los Angeles FM station KROQ, cracked the Billboard albums chart, and quot;http://pitchfork.com/media/backend/js/tiny_mce/themes/advanced/langs/en.js" type="text/javascript"> "http://pitchfork.com/media/backend/js/tiny_mce/themes/advanced/langs/en.js" type="text/javascript"> have shot a video they hope will make the playlist at MTV2. Meanwhile, Funeral was just released to iTunes, to sate clamoring UK fans anticipating its February 28th release across the pond on Rough Trade. All of which, of course, is simply a testament to what a band can still achieve purely on the strength of a really, really good album. I caught up with Win Butler by phone two weeks ago to discuss the factors that vaulted the band to their current position, and what they plan to do next...
Pitchfork: You guys have been doing a pretty sick amount of press these past few months. Has the workload of being in this band taken you by surprise?
Win: I had a sense of what we were getting ourselves into. We're getting used to planning really far in advance. We're talking about this next coming winter in terms of scheduling. It's a little creepy, but it's the only way.
Pitchfork: Have you been lamenting the loss of personal time?
Win: Régine and I are so used to having so much space to play and write that we're just trying to carve that out, just trying to fight for it at this point. We've been trying to not over-commit, to stay within what we think is possible physically to do. Playing shows takes a lot out of us, we put a lot into it. So we're trying to be realistic.
Pitchfork: It's pretty weird that we keep getting tied together in the press. Like, a lot of the features I've read on the Arcade Fire mention Pitchfork and vice versa.
Win: They could be asking you a lot of the same questions you could be asking me: How does it feel? How's the hype? Is it weird to be mentioned in the New York Times and theL.A. Times? I'm like, "No, how's that feel?"
Pitchfork: It's really funny. It's like we can't exist independently in the press. I mean, are you as sick of that as we are?
Win: I don't know. I think that people have a narrow view of things. You definitely get a lot of lazy, weak features. And I'm sure you guys probably experience that as well.
Pitchfork: I suppose people need their angle. But I almost just feel bad for you guys. Like we tend to get really carried away when we love a record, and while that tends to help a lot of bands we think deserve attention, there can also be negative repercussions if we go toonuts.
Win: It came across to me as if you liked the record, and if you really like something, you kind of expose people to things you think are good. That's what we're trying to do.
Pitchfork: On some level, it does suck for us to love a record, praise it, and then have it be instantly perceived as overexposed by some people. But to me, it's an incredible record that would have been going places regardless of what we said or did.
Win: There's a segment of people who are very sensitive to overexposure and really like the thrill of knowing things that other people don't know about. But we're not ramming it down people's throats. I mean, most people in Montréal haven't heard of our band. Régine has friends calling her like, "I didn't know you were in a band! That's great! I heard you on TBC!" The overwhelming majority of people have no idea who The Arcade Fire are or have heard of Pitchfork.
Pitchfork: But within this sort of subculture, the Arcade Fire is like incredibly popular. I just find the reactions to perceived "hype" in the underground to be kind of extreme. Like, I can see where some of these people are coming from on one hand, because I don't like shit being marketed at me and shoved down my throat either. But doesn't it seem now that the culture has just reached this point where people assume that if something is popular on any level at all, it must be crap? I always wonder if those people take into account at all that, within independent music, the vast, vast majority of bands that get popular only do so because lots of people thought their music was genuinely good.
Win: Well, yeah, there's like one dude, there's Martin [Hall], [doing PR] for Merge. That's it. We have stuff on the radio, but I'm not really concerned with people perceiving that as a problem. Is our record overrated? I don't know, maybe. I don't rate or make lists of records. That's not the way I relate to music.
Pitchfork: Somehow, though, you guys made the Billboard albums chart. I heard you've sold 60,000 copies, is that right?
Win: It's in that ballpark.
Pitchfork: That's fucking unheard of. You're actually getting commercial radio play in like Los Angeles and San Diego.
Win: There's like a few commercial stations that have picked up "The Power Out" and put it in rotation. There's one in Seattle, L.A., San Francisco, San Diego. It's pretty wild. It's kind of eye-opening to see how it works. I guess what happens, they put it in rotation, play it a certain number of times, and after however long, they put it into testing-- like they call up a random selection of listeners, play them like 15 seconds of songs, and ask them, "Do you like this song? Do you want us to play it more? Do you hate this song? Do you never want us to play it again?" Like on a scale of 1 to 10.
Pitchfork: Huh, that's interesting. I've always assumed that playlists are pretty carefully calculated, though my view of it was maybe more cynical. You always read articles about so-called "legal payola"-- I guess I just assumed that a record couldn't get airtime without a lot of money behind it.
Win: Well, I think that it typically can't, but they do from time to time, like KROQ will throw something in. I think that there's a Postal Service song that's on all the time on KROQ that performed really well in their testing, so they were like, "Well, it's working with our audience, maybe we'll play it."
The way that the payola stuff works, they put up the money and fly people to Malibu to see like Velvet Revolver live in concert. You have to put up all this promotion money. It's essentially a marketing thing. So, instead of the way it used to work, where the radio exposed people to new things, which then would be popular, now you have to demonstrate that it's popular before they'll play it on the radio.
Pitchfork: You've just done a video for "Rebellion", right? Maybe MTV is next.
Win: We have a video that's getting finished for "Rebellion". My friend Josh who does our website is working on one for "Laika" that's really exciting, because that's gonna be the first single in the UK.
Pitchfork: Did Rough Trade choose which song they wanted to release as the single, or did you?
Win: [Rough Trade owner] Geoff Travis has a better sense of what people in the UK like than I do, obviously, and he really thought that one would connect with people over there to start with. I'm like, "Sure, I like that song, go for it." I think there are other songs that are a bit more natural single, but I think that it's definitely the shortest one. And I think the melody and the chords are interesting, so we'll see.
Pitchfork: What do you think you'll do for B-sides?
Win: For the U.S. release of "Neighborhood" ["Tunnels"], we had a song my grandfather [Alvino Ray] wrote on the back, and I think we'll probably do that in the UK as well. And probably for the next single we'll have to see. There's one song that we didn't finish from the sessions, and there aren't like a ton more songs from the Funeral session.
Pitchfork: Have you considered commissioning any remixes? Do you think your music would lend itself to that?
Win: I think "The Power Out" could definitely. I'd definitely be into it, but no one's approached us about it. But I think that one could really sound different. There are definitely New Order songs where I like the remix better than the original.
Pitchfork: Where did you film your videos?
Win: The first one we filmed in Maine in the town where my parents live. And this other one is all animated. We might put together a live thing of "Power Out". We filmed all three nights at the Great American Music Hall [venue in San Francisco]. One of the nights, "Power Out" was really awesome, and we're trying to put together an edit of it. If we could just get a really great sounding live thing, that would be exciting, [especially] if we could get it played on MTV2 or something like that. I think it would stand out so much to have something live.
And we're thinking about doing a DVD. I wanna see how the footage turns out from the San Francisco show, but we definitely have a few little video things that are kind of cool, that if it turned out well, I would be happy for people to have a live show or whatever.
Pitchfork: Okay, so, there are two inaccuracies we've published about you and your band that I want to set straight. One: You personally are from Texas, not Canada.
Win: Right.
Pitchfork: Two: You never made a Christmas EP. Wasn't that like people that you knew or something, though?
Win: I mean, yeah, it's at our house. It's at me and Régine's apartment. We had a Christmas party and we had friends over and we put up a microphone and were just joking around and we made a CD of it. I'm not singing on the songs. I wasn't even there for part of it, and it's just like friends singing songs in our voices. It's three different dudes singing. It's like my friend Josh going "blabbity blah, oh holy night, blah blah blah." That's a Christmas EP? Uh...
Pitchfork: It clearly wasn't meant for public release, but it was leaked to file-trading networks under your bandname.
Win: I'm not ashamed if people hear that recording. But obviously, you would never sell that-- it's not an EP. Calling something an EP implies that it's a released work. If you rifled through my trash and found like a note I wrote to myself about taking out the trash, that's not a song lyric. There's a distinction between someone's notebook and a lyric.
But I'm realizing that any kind of recorded media spreads pretty damn fast. People are requesting the song "Cars and Telephones" that I did as a demo four years ago. I must've given a recording of it to someone. So it's out there, and in San Francisco people were like, "Play 'Cars and Telephones'!" I'm like, "What's that? Oh right, okay..."
So we worked out an arrangement of it, 'cause I think it's a good song. I hadn't played it in four years. It's kind of cool in a way, but it's definitely annoying. But you have to try and get used to it. People are selling bootleg copies of our record on eBay. That kind of stuff is just like, illegal, you know? It's like someone making an action figure of Richard and selling it on eBay. I'm not cool with that. Selling something that's our voice or image. That's really not cool. As far as like trading baseball cards, it's fine.

using a joystic in this game?

Why not? Could be fun for ships.
Here's how to activate joystick in STO -
1. Enable joystick controller option. Ship pitch and roll can now be controlled from the stick
2. You have a problem in that you are not able to map the joystick buttons to keys directly as the controller menu is apparently setup for a console gamepad instead.
3. The solution to the above is google for a program called Joy2Key. This program allows you to map keyboard commands to the joystick directly saving a lot of time and hassle.
I have a HOTAS and tempted to use the stick for ship control - it has more than enough buttons for the majority of boff powers and ship command functions.
If anything this can be an entertaining alternative control method - even if there is not enough buttons on the stick, you can either map shift or alt commands via joy2key... or imagine it as a sort of manual override.
Ships with high turnrate are going to be very sensitive so map the deadzone accordingly using external joystick configuration or preferably the manufacturer's driver software, if any.
The controller interface in STO, I repeat, is by default setup for 'digital' control such as like from a Xbox controller.
Setup hints:
or identical programs,
Weapons controls
Button 1 (trigger) = fire phasers/spacebar
Button 2 (missile) = fire torpedoes/ctrl-space
Buttons 3 and 4 (thumb switches?) = tactical team, APB, APO, etc attack buffs (keyboard 1-4 on mine)
HOTAS buttons (where aircraft probably have ECM, chaff, flares, etc) = Bind to command bar rows 2 or 3 (My keyboard binds are ctrl number for shields and alt number for engineering)
STF Flight Instructor since Early 2012. Newbies are the reason why STO lives and breathes today. Do not discriminate.

The other day I wrote about two intense Redskins fans who were lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time and caught a game worn helmet from DeAngelo Hall. After Yellow Canoe gave the helmet to his buddy (Matt James), he was able to get it signed by none other than D Hall himself (as seen in the photo above). Matt and Joe attended the Lavar and Dukes show at Velocity 5 in Centreville where D Hall was a guest. During a commercial break, they introduced themselves and asked for his autograph. Hall gladly signed the helmet, but requested the visor be returned which they gave to him no problem. Photo from Chad Dukes twitter As you can see in the top photo, the helmet was signed by Hall and along with the game day ticket encased in a Redskins shrine that will be remembered by these two for some time. That is a pretty solid ending to a story that would make most fans jealous. These two will more than likely be telling this story for some time.

The future of Nissan emerges from the undergrowth. When the Japanese firm announced it was to replace the Almera with three niche models last year, many thought the days of the conventional Nissan hatchback were over.
The wind farm at Nissan Sunderland is now fully operational and has begun generating power for the plant.
Nissan upgrades the cabin of its 350Z to match the components elsewhere
A peep show with a topless model is on tour! However, view-ers won't see everything all at once, as the stunner - Nissan's new Micra C+C - will be shown inside a special box with clever opaque panels which intermittently obscure sections.
The Nissan 350Z is getting extra power and an improved interior as part of a facelift for next year. From spring, both coupé and roadster models will have 300bhp, redesigned light clusters and a more logical, higher quality interior layout.
Gran Turismo by nature - that's clearly the thinking behind Nissan's GT-R Proto. With styling that wouldn't look out of place on a games console racer, meet the firm's all-new supercar.
Small convertibles mean large sales volumes these days, but it hasn't always been that way. It was only four years ago that Peugeot's 206 CC arrived on the scene with its Mercedes SLK-style electric folding roof

Childrens Educational Games
Education toys and games help with the many stages of development and also stimulate a desire to learn in children. Educational games make playtime a learning experience by sparking their imagination while they learn social skills during pretend play. Playing with pre school toys they can push, pull, or ride helps with their muscle development and body balance. Participating in literacy toys and games with plastic letters or large puzzle pieces that link together helps children with hand eye coordination. Likewise, children's toys that are used to play math games make learning a crucial skill fun.
Parents need to be aware of the learning stages when shopping for educational toys to make the most of their budget. Children like new toys but they also get excited when they discover a new use for an old toy. They love discovering different ways to play with them while sharing as a group during pretend play. Parents will be happy to know their children can use the same literacy toys in different ways as they get older. Math games are more fun when children learn from each other. Older children will take the role of a mentor when teaching younger siblings how to use the same toys that once piqued their own interest. Playing with educational toys for toddlers such as building blocks and wooden toys can help children practice their motor skills by sorting and stacking. These same blocks can later help develop thinking and reasoning skills. Be sure and take into consideration the countless ways children can use preschool toys as they transition through the different developmental stages.
We understand the importance of a school budget and will continue to stock educational toys that will see children through their learning stages. We will provide children's toys that will lay a firm foundation for their future education and development as they grow.
