When it comes to gift giving, I love to purchase educational gifts for my girls that are also fun and entertaining. The Learning Journey is the perfect place to find hands on, high quality, educational material for 0 to 6+ years.
My daughters had the delightful opportunity of reviewing The Learning Journey Count and Learn Cookie Jar. This was the perfect product for them to review because they both can play with it while learning completely different things.
The Count and Learn Cookie Jar comes with the cookie jar and a lid, along with 10 cookies. Each cookie has a number on the back, along with chocolate chips that match the number as an added learning tool. The lid comes off, and there is a slot for the cookies to go into. The cookies only go in one way because of the way the cookies are shaped. My oldest daughter can easily figure out the right way to put them in, but my youngest daughter get's a little frustrated when they don't fit in the slot. The cookie jar is meant for 2+ years, so I understand the reason for my youngest daughter's frustration since she is only 16 months. However, I also think it is a great manipulative toy for her because it reminds me of the toy where you put the shapes in the right holes.
To begin playing, you wake up the Count and Learn Cookie Jar by pressing his nose or inserting a cookie. There are two modes to the Count and Learn Cookie Jar.
The first mode to the cookie jar is it will count each cookie inserted until all the cookies have been counted up to ten. If you don't put in a cookie it will ask for another. My girls love when it asks for another!
The second mode is the cookie jar will ask for a specific number. It gives you 3 chances to get it right before it goes onto the next question. If your child gets it wrong it says "Uh Oh!" This is a very common phrase in my youngest daughter's vocabulary at the moment, so she laughs every time it says "Uh Oh."
What I really like about the Count and Learn Cookie Jar is my oldest daughter is learning to associate numbers orally with written numbers, while it is teaching my youngest manipulative skills, along with counting out loud!
