With summertime in full swing, the weather outside is hot hot hot and my kiddos inside my house have lots of energy. We spend many many hours each week swimming but when the weather is stormy or when my kiddos need to be inside to unwind, sometimes they get bored of their regular toys. I love it when my kids play with toys that are fun and at the same time education. Enter The Learning Journey toys. The Learning Journey is a company that is known for creating high-quality and affordable educational toys and games that will keep your child’s brain sharp while having fun!
STEM, standing for Science, Technology and Engineering, and Math is the future of young learning. The goals of STEM education are to prep kids for school by building spatial, reasoning, critical thinking and problem solving skills. The Learning Journey STEM products are meant to be “brain-boosting” playthings that will give kids hands on experience with Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. STEM products are meant to make learning fun, but also pique kids’ interest in pursuing courses at school based around the knowledge they learned from these toys. STEM products from The Learning Journey will also aid in fighting off the “Summer Slump”!
My kiddos are young. But STEM toys still apply to them. My daughter is two and a half and this ABC Melody Maker perfect for her age. ABC Melody Maker is is an exciting electronic toy featuring five fun games sure to entertain your child. This colorful interactive unit features an activity selector that puts kids in charge of choosing their fun. The activities range from easy to more difficult. Each activity will teach your child important skills like sounding out letters, recognizing letters, numbers, and playing music.
It has been fun watching my daughter learn how to use this toy. As she’s becoming more knowledgeable on how to use it, she’s spending more and more time working on the different activities.
Head HERE to learn more about ABC Melody Maker. It comes in two color choices: Primary Colors or Pink.
My son is four and a half and he LOVES toys where he has to build things. Techno Gears Marble Mania Whirler is perfect for children who like to build things. It is recommended for children 6 and older but even younger children will enjoy it! My son has a blast playing with this marble maze. He needed help building it. But in a few years, he will be able to build it on his own. This is a toy that will grow with your child!
This Techno Gears Marble Mania Whirler is a 100+ piece construction set that children can use to build and create their own marble runs. Once completed they simply drop the marbles into the top of the track and let the fun begin! The color instruction manual provides step by step instructions for building Whirler, but your child can make their own designs too! All Techno Gears sets are interchangeable.

Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
