Affordable Workbooks for Toddlers and Preschoolers

 The toddlers are so used to seeing other children studying in our home that the word “worksheets” is very common to them. At their very young ages, they themselves are often the ones to ask dear Mama for some worksheets. To them, studying and answering worksheets is part of everyday life. Aside from the fun they have “working” with their Kuyas, I do believe that this gives the toddlers a sense of being “big kids”.

I admit to not being a super mom so there are really days when I am unable to prepare worksheets for them. So during trips to the mall, I do try to squeeze in a quick visit to the bookstore to purchase some workbooks. I’m more often drawn to workbooks with colorful pictures and glossy pages but these are the ones which are usually beyond my budget. Instead of these, I purchase affordable workbooks that still serve the same purpose.

Among my most recent purchases are two ETL School and Home Workbooks. I bought these two weeks ago yet Jade is already half way done with both workbooks. These workbooks are given to Jade when she asks for them after playtime in the afternoon.

These ETL books are only Php50 each.

Jade can pretty much work on these on her own.

There are days when the workbooks won’t cross her mind, but these are very few. Always eager to imitate what his Ate Jade is doing, our little boy now also tells us that “I want to work po.” And so, Papa bought them more workbooks to “work” on. These ones were bought for Php250/set of four. The pages are in full color and of good quality. I won’t be giving them to the toddlers until they finish the current workbooks they are using.
