✨ Tip of the Day: Incorporate storytime into play! 📚🌈

Combining reading with toys can create a magical experience that sparks creativity and imagination.
✨Here’s how to do it:

💛 Choose a Theme: Select a book that relates to the toys your child is playing with. For example, read a story about animals while using Grapat peg dolls to act it out!

💛 Interactive Reading: Encourage your child to use their toys to reenact scenes from the story. This promotes comprehension and engagement with the narrative.

💛 Ask Questions: After reading, ask open-ended questions like, ‘What do you think will happen next?’ or ‘How would you change the story?’ This encourages critical thinking and creativity.

💛 Create a Story Together: Let your child use their toys to create their own story. Ask them to describe their characters and settings while you write it down together.

Integrating storytelling with playtime not only enhances literacy skills but also fosters a love for both reading and imaginative play!

Sensory play isn’t just fun- it’s essential for early brain development! 🧠✨ With the right toys, kids can build cognitive abilities, develop motor skills, and unleash their creativity. 🎨💡 Explore the sensory toys we supply at Bueno Blocks and give your child the tools to grow through play! 🌟

Unveiling the all NEW Grapat holiday ornaments and we have 5 special ones for you 💛

The pieces are handcrafted from natural wood, each one beautifully imperfect—just like the holiday season itself. 🍂

✨ Each ornament is a unique piece of art, inspired by nature’s colours and textures. A reminder to slow down, embrace the magic of small moments, and create memories that will last beyond the season.

Hang them on your tree, pass them down, let them be part of your story 🌲💛

Want my insights from years of helping parents break free from screen time struggles?

It’s this:

👉 If there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that if you want to break your little ones’ screen time habits, you HAVE to be consistent.

Why? Because if you aren’t consistent, the boundaries you set will blur, and those screen time battles will resurface STRONGER than before.

It’s why when I was creating The Breaking Screen Time Habits Blueprint - available next week, TWO things were clear:

There were things I HAD to put inside to help you confidently set boundaries and create a screen-free routine that actually sticks,
and things that I WOULDN’T dish up as that would overcomplicate your journey or make you feel more overwhelmed than empowered.

WHAT IS INSIDE?
✅ A proven, step-by-step framework—because transforming screen habits isn’t about guesswork; it’s about following a clear and effective path that works.
✅ Done-for-you 4-week Play Plans—because you shouldn’t have to scramble for screen-free activities when time is tight. These plans are tailored for your little one’s age and interests.
✅ Conversation scripts—because managing screen time isn’t just about setting limits; it’s about fostering understanding and cooperation with your little ones.

AND WHAT ISN’T INSIDE?
❌ Overcomplicated theories or fluff—because you don’t need more information; you need actionable steps that fit into your busy life.
❌ One-size-fits-all solutions—because every family is unique, and your approach to screen time should be, too.

It’s this combination I truly believe is the PERFECT way for you to reclaim your family time and create a balanced, screen-free routine that feels right for you 💛

If you’re ready for this positive change, you NEED to be on the VIP list for when details of this solution drops—not only because it’s what you need to transform screen time habits, but because the VIP list will also be getting first dibs and discount on the limited-time launch offer 🥳

DISCOVER THE STEP-BY-STEP WAY TO FIX THIS

You’re a dedicated, loving, and resourceful mama. Yet, something isn’t clicking.

If you’re struggling with screen time battles and feeling like you’re losing the fight, it’s time to address the elephant in the room:

The screen time habit gap.

Understanding the gap:

📱 Screen Time Overload - You hand over the tablet for a few moments of peace, but those moments turn into hours, and suddenly, screens are the go-to. It’s not just about keeping them entertained; it’s about what screen time is taking away from their growth and creativity.

⌛ Guilt & Resignation - You know too much screen time isn’t ideal, but you’re tired and just trying to get through the day. Consistency and setting boundaries seem impossible, but the real challenge is finding alternatives that work for both you and your little ones.

😟 Disconnected Play - You’ve noticed that your little ones aren’t as engaged in play as they used to be. They lose interest quickly and turn back to screens. It’s frustrating, but it’s not about you doing something wrong; it’s about needing a new approach to recapture their curiosity and imagination.

And this is how you can start to make these things CHANGE:

❓ Ask yourself, do you REALLY want screens to dictate your child’s playtime? Or is it time to take back control?

❓ Do you REALLY believe that there are no other solutions that can keep your little ones engaged? Or is it time to explore creative alternatives?

❓ Are you ready to make a change that benefits not just your little ones, but your whole family?

And if once you have answered these questions you know deep down that you DO need to address the screen time habit gap...

Comment the word “SCREENVIP” to join our waitlist for our upcoming roadmap to reclaim control over your little one’s screen time habits.

If your little one struggles with taking the first step, try these practical tips to encourage initiative and boost their confidence. From creating a supportive environment to setting achievable goals

✨ Model What You Want Them to Do: Demonstrate the behaviors and actions you’d like to see. Children learn a lot by imitation, so be the example you want them to follow.

✨ Reduce Environmental Distractions: Create a focused space by minimizing distractions around them. A clutter-free environment helps your child concentrate better on tasks.

✨ Use Sound to Get Their Attention: Gentle auditory cues, like a soft bell or a specific tone, can effectively signal transitions or prompt actions. It’s all about creating clear, consistent signals.

✨ Give Verbal Cues: Provide clear, specific instructions or reminders. Simple, direct language can help your child understand and remember what they need to do.

✨ Make a To-Do List: Break tasks into manageable steps and create a visual list. This helps your child see what needs to be done and track their progress, making tasks feel less overwhelming.

Diving into a world of imagination with the Lyra Groove Triple One 3 in 1! Coloring is the perfect way to shift your child’s attention away from screens while working on their fine motor skills and creativity. Watch as they explore colors, shapes, and their own unique ideas – all without the distraction of devices 🌈💖

🌟 Nurturing Healthy Screen-Time Habits 🌟

Encouraging balanced screen time is a journey that requires patience, creativity, and consistency. It’s about creating safe spaces and fostering habits that help our children grow in every way. By providing fun, screen-free activities, like building with blocks or exploring nature, we can make playtime more meaningful and screen time more mindful. Let’s work together to create a supportive environment where our kids can thrive both on and off-screen. 🌈💖
