Hidden Grins also has soft blocks (that look like birds - super cute) with a carrying case. You can read all of the blogs about block activities and see how those toys can also be fun and educational!
I first discovered this 3 Peas in a Pod toy when it was sent to me as a present. It is made by Lindsay Horton and sold on her ETSY shop: Hidden Grins. I keep blogging about the importance of TVAK (Tactile, Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic) and trying to include as many of those aspects into every lesson. Well, it's also great if toys can include as many of these as well. Now, I don't mean that every toy should require batteries and light up or sing songs. Not at all! But the 3 Peas in a Pod toy incorporate tactile (they are soft and squishy), auditory (each pea pod makes a different noise - rattle, crinkle, and sqeaker), and kinesthetic (you open the pea pod up to get the peas out) without batteries! How cool is that? This toy is great for pre-talkers and early language users. First off, you can get a lot of language from the pea pod toy. You can have the child request to open the pea pod and request a pea pod. You can have the child discover which noise this pea makes. Then you can give them all kinds of language so that he/she could one day explain it himself/herself. My son LOVES this toy because the peas are balls to him and he loves to roll them all over the house! They are great because if he throws them, they won't hurt whatever it hits (a person, dog, or object)!! Because the toy zips up, it's also a great traveling toy. You have everything within the pea pod and you can toss the pea pod in the suitcase, carry-on bag, or car!!
