Perfect for Earth Day! The Schoolhouse Rock we all know and love is going GREEN! Schoolhouse Rock Earth features all new songs and characters ready once again to educate & entertain. Children learn the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse & Recycle) through these catchy tunes. Songs are based on relevant topics such as water conservation, recycling, solar/wind power, protecting the rain forest and more.
Little Ones applauds Schoolhouse Rock’s efforts to educate the next generation about the sobering environmental conditions facing our world. Teaching responsibility for our planet is one of the central themes across the globe and in our children’s school curriculums. No matter how young, children can develop respect & appreciation for nature, and assist in the efforts to save our planet.
Schoolhouse Rock: Earth motivates a new generation of learners with green ideas and life choices that can make a difference! It’s an enjoyable and educational DVD that raises environmental awareness.

by littleones.com, on March 30th, 2010 Apple just released Apple iPad Guided Tours on their web site, which includes an interesting preview of their free iBooks app. The first iBook that Apple highlights is the classic children's book, WInnie the Pooh. This new eBook reader differs from other readers because it includes full color illustrations making it a perfect match for children's books. In addition to the appeal of crisp color pictures, the iBook has the capability to enlarge text which makes decoding easier for early readers. Another great feature is the ability to choose a portrait or landscape display allowing the reader to view either one page or two pages at a time. One page viewing is beneficial since it limits distractions for young readers and breaks content into small manageable sections. The built-in dictionary feature assists children with comprehension and adds to the product's kid appeal. The only drawback of the dictionary feature is that it uses an adult dictionary for children's books. Perhaps later versions will include a more kid-friendly dictionary, although the current dictionary is acceptable for older children. Overall, the iPad's iBooks app is an exciting new way for children to enjoy reading.
Apple will be releasing its entire bookshelf of iBooks shortly including many great children's titles. Apple plans to start shipping the Apple iPad on April 3, 2010. Stay tuned for the latest updates and our recommendations of children's iBooks.

Introduce your child to their faith through playtime with these wonderful Christian toys and games. These recommended toys are based on religious themes and have been selected for their non-violent approach and positive message. Since most of the toys and games featured here are based on actual bible stories, they provide a "tactile" connection to God’s Word. What a great opportunity for children to explore their faith!
Toys are such an integral part of children learning about the world around them. Why not provide children with these loving examples of God’s goodness?
