Excited 2 Learn Sibling Packet (I'm Going to be a big Brother!) Review & Prize Pack Giveaway (Open to US & Canada)

Since I decided not to put Tobin in preschool yet, I have been trying to teach him at home. So I love to introduce educational products and toys to him as much as I can. I think products that are fun really do help him to get excited to learn. That is why I was so excited when I learned about all the great products at Excited 2 Learn.

About Excited 2 Learn (from their website)

Wish your little one could calm down when frustrated, go to bed without a fight or use the potty with excitement?
Excited 2 Learn charts, schedules and games were created by twin sisters, moms and teachers who know exactly how you feel. We create resources and tools that will help you and your child transform routine tasks into playful accomplishments!

The Excited 2 Learn product line:
• Features original watercolor artwork
• High quality and made in America
• Created out of love for children, art and education
• Custom and personalized options

Excited 2 Learn has so many great products that can be great resources in helping to teach your child. They children's games, charts & schedules, teacher resources, and even baby gifts and products. I think the "Please Don't Ring the Doorbell..." Sign would make a great gift for any new or soon-to-be mommy!

I think the I Can Use the Potty! would be a great chart to get since we are trying to potty train Tobin. You can also purchase Hippo's Reward Chart to go with it. I think these would be great resources for potty training.

There were so many great products to choose from, but I was really interested in the Sibling Pack (I'm Going to be a Big Brother!). 

We are expecting our 2nd baby in April and I have been trying to figure out ways to get Tobin involved and excited about being a big brother. This packet seemed to be the perfect answer! Here is what comes in the packet:

* Ready to Decorate Big Brother Poster
* What Does The Baby Look Like? Activity
* Interview Questions
* List of Picture Books
* Preparing Your Child for the Arrival of a New Little One
* Detailed checklist and description for: during pregnancy, at the hospital, and once the baby arrives home
* “Shhhhh! Our Baby is Sleeping” Nursery Sign
* High Five Certificate 

We also received the optional "I Am a Great Big Brother" dinosaur reward chart. The reward chart is designed to help big siblings embrace their new role as a caring older sibling. It's a great and interactive way to help them feel valued and encourage positive behavior. So when Tobin is being a good big brother, then he will earn a token to attach to the chart (the chart and tokens are laminated and stick on with velcro). Once all 5 tokens are earned, the child receives a star! We'll then be rewarding Tobin with special rewards (such a fun outing and special prize) when he gets his stars.

I love how the packet has a lot of great tips on how to prepare your child for when the new baby arrives. There was a lot of helpful advice that I will definitely be using and have already been implementing some of the advice already. I also thought the list of books was another great resource. I am planning on checking out several of them and give them to Tobin over the next few months.

Tobin's favorite item from the packet was the Ready to Decorate Big Brother Poster. This is a great way to get your little one involved. Tobin thought it was so cute that there were two dogs on the poster and he immediately said that the bigger dog was himself and the little dog was Noah (his soon-to-be baby brother). Tobin had so much fun coloring the poster and then we hung it on Noah's door. Tobin was so proud of himself and he loves to show it off to anyone who comes over!

My personal favorite item from this packet was the “Shhhhh! Our Baby is Sleeping” Nursery Sign. On one side it has a green "Go" sign which means that your child (or anyone) can come into the room.

The other side has a red "Stop" sign which means your child (or anyone) needs to be quiet because the baby is sleeping. I love it and have already been teaching Tobin what the different signs mean. He now knows that if he sees the stop sign, he needs to be quiet and he can't go into the baby's room.

There are some other fun activity pages that Tobin and I will be doing as Noah's due date arrives as well as after Noah comes. There is a cute High Five Certificate where I can put Tobin and Noah's handprints on it. I think that will be really cute and something special to frame and put in Noah's room.

We loved the Sibling Packet and I think it's a great way to get Tobin ready to be a big brother. Excited 2 Learn has a variety of great products and one lucky winner will get their choice the following:
