Bing Note - Product Review


I received a bunch of stuff from Bing Note. They sent me their picture book and CD titled "That's Bingzy, Busy Building Self-Esteem" (Retail for $19.99....but on sale for $7.95!).... their activity book "That's Bingzy, Let's Talk About It - Discuss & Do Activities" as well as a set of lunchbox notes. Basically Bingzy is a character on a kids show called "Krysta's Kingdom" which airs Saturday mornings on KTV and My Life TV. Not gonna lie... I've never seen the show... but after looking through everything they sent me... I'm going to try to figure out when it's on in "satellite land"... I can never figure out what channel is what... and the timing is all over the place... so I'm going to have to search for it. Hopefully we get it up here.. I'm interested to see it!

Their products are for children age 3-7.... to help build self-esteem... promote encouragement and enables parents to help their children be successful and confident. I started off by going through the picture book and CD. I liked the messages on each page.... and the pictures were really cute. The CD had 10 songs on it... kinda cute (and it came with the words to the songs too!).

I really liked the activity book even though "M" is a little young for it. There's a theme across all of their products - 8 concepts (I AM: strong, powerful, healthy, loving, harmonious, creative, successful and happy). I liked the activities in the book because they actually teach children the meanings of their 8 concepts...and put them in a way that would be understandable for young minds. A few examples are getting along with others, healthy eating and showing people that you love them. There are different styles of activities too... word searches, connect the dots, crosswords and colouring, just to name a few.

I think my fave was the lunchbox notes. I received a pack of 7 (with 7 envelopes) and they had little sayings on them like "I love you" and "Awesome job".. that you can sneak into your child's lunchbox..or backpack. I really liked this idea... some days... don't you need a pick me up? Now... if you found a note from your child in your computer bag.....saying "I love you" or a picture that they had drawn for you... wouldn't that make you smile? I would... so why not give that warm fuzzy feeling to them? I'm totally not mushy... but I think this is really cute.
Thanks to Lisa and the Bing Note team for introducing me to their products.... they are perfect for parents, teachers...and anyone that have a huge impact on the lives of our children. Very inspiring!
