WINNER IS MELANIE (#24) – CONGRATULATIONS! Thanks to all who played along (and thanks random.org for your random integer generator!)
Shannon at Bloggy Giveaways is hosting a giveaway link-fest, and I’m giving away a product I was asked to review and COMPLETELY LOVE!
It’s called Think it, Ink it – a professionally illustrated series of books, where your child is the author. You simply purchase one of the illustrated workbooks (there are several very different books), and your child writes his or her own story on the lines. The kit also includes large sticky notes, so children can easily revise their story without ruining the page. After writing the final copy on the lines, parents can send in the workbook to the Think It, Ink It company (for an additional charge) and have the book typeset and published in hard cover. Otherwise, you can keep the workbook version as a keepsake. It’s also possible to write the story online and purchase the book directly.
This is an awesome tool for the homeschooling family, teachers, or parents trying to encourage their kids to write creatively. It was a very motivating tool for my son – I’ve included a photo of some of his work from last summer. He is NOT a fan of writing, but he was very eager to write this story.
To enter the contest, please just click over to the Think it, Ink it site and look around. Then come back here and tell me you’d like to be included in the drawing. You can participate even if you don’t have a blog. Just make sure you leave a working email when you leave your comment. A winner will be chosen at random on Friday, November 2. US residents only, please. Thanks for participating!
Also check out our Career Expedition boardgame giveaway this week!
