I love trying new products that are fun and that I know our children would enjoy. Thank You Educational Insights for letting review the Hot Dots Pen and Learning Cards. We are very thankful:)
Our children love when they don't have to use the traditional way with sit down and workbooks. When I received the Hot Dots from Educational Insights they sat for an hour working on the human body learning cards. All you have to do is read the questions on the card and then use your learning tool to press lightly on the card to see if you got the answer right or wrong. You can always keep trying until you get the correct answer. Mistakes are opportunities to learn which I heard from the Sequential Spelling book.
This was are first time using the Hot Dots from Educational Insights and I'm very impressed with everything about the product.

I love the colorful illustrated cards that engage the children while learning. Children need to see realistic pictures, Hot Dots pictures are pretty close to being realistic which I love. On each card there multiple choices answers which builds independence and fun learning.

Simply press the pen to choose an answer on any Hot Dots or Hot Dots Jr. card for an immediate response—cool, kid-friendly phrases for correct answers and gentle redirection for incorrect responses.

You can incorporate Hot Dots when you are on the road,vacation or just into your everyday homeschooling week. Also you can use Hots Dots when your children come home from school to add some fun into there day. Our children LOVE Hot Dots, how about trying them for your own children or grandchildren.
I definitely think that this is a great way to teach children without them becoming totally frustrated--which could lead to them not wanting to learn!
