Holiday Gift Guide #11: Peaceable Kingdom Let’s Do It Write & Wipe Activity Book Review & Giveaway



Many of us are busy making our lists and checking them twice. As I search for Christmas gifts for my kids, I keep an eye out for fun, educational products that promote creativity. Whether we're at home or on the go, they enjoy activities that keep them entertained. Thankfully, Peaceable Kingdom has just what I need.

What began in 1983 as a company with a single product (a poster featuring art from the classic children's book Goodnight Moon) has since grown to include more than 5,000 items. Peaceable Kingdom is now a leader in juvenile stickers, greeting cards and games. With a mission to "make good, do good, and be good"... they are dedicated to:
  • creating fresh, fun, award-winning products that educate, inspire, and tickle funny bones
  • donating frequently to charitable organizations that support the well-being of children
  • working only with socially-conscious manufacturers
  • using sustainable and eco-friendly materials like FSC and recycled papers, soy-based inks, and corn-based plastics whenever we can
  • maintaining integrity in all business relationships
  • having fun while we work!

I was introduced to Peaceable Kingdom and their fantastic children's products last Spring. Having had the opportunity to review a couple of products from them in the past and being very impressed with the fun, quality and educational value offered...I was excited to learn more about their Let's Do It Write & Wipe Activity Book.

Kaelyn is getting to an age where she enjoys doing more activities that involve the alphabet, shapes, colors, numbers...pretty much anything educational. That's why I couldn't have been happier to learn we were going to have the opportunity to review one.

When the Let's Do It Write & Wipe Activity Book arrived, I was immediately impressed with the size right away. Measuring 9" x 8 1/2" x 3/4", it's the perfect size to carry along with us wherever we're going.

The bright colors and fun carry-along tote caught Kaelyn's attention right away. As we opened up the activity book, we found 17 laminated pages of fun learning games and activities.

Included was also 2 write & wipe pens and 1 clean-up cloth...everything Kaelyn would need to use this at home or on the go.
I love that this book touches on all of the pre-k skills Kaelyn is learning and most interested in. With everything from simple puzzles, science, shapes, colors numbers, and more...this is the perfect activity for any child ages 3-6. It's fun, educational and best of all...never gets old. Each page has simple instructions and age-appropriate games.

Kaelyn has been using her Let's Do It Write & Wipe Activity Book for a while now and she never gets bored. She will sit for hours on end doing the activities and is so proud each and every time she finishes one. I love that learning is made fun thanks to Peaceable Kingdom, and have already considered it for gifts I'm buying my nephews this Christmas. It's the perfect activity, especially for places like waiting rooms, restaurants, planes and downtime at home.

We've been very impressed with the quality and educational value of the Let's Do It Write & Wipe Activity Book. I would definitely recommend it to anyone with a preschool aged child on their Christmas list this year.

Of course, this is just one of many products from Peaceable Kingdom. Be sure to visit their site and check out everything from
stickers, greeting cards, games and more!
