Christmas is a special time of year when giving, love & memories take center stage. But Christmas can be an especially tough time of year for foster children. Away from family members and Christmas as they know it, foster children may miss their loved ones even more than ever. But what if they could hear a familiar voice anytime they missed someone.
Here’s the answer: Interactive storybooks from Hallmark to help “Bring the Holidays to Life” for foster children!
· Interactive Story Buddies: My kids just love these Interactive Storybooks and Story Buddies! So much that our collection is growing! You can read more about how our Story Buddy, Christopher, makes bedtime calmer in our home.
What can make these stuffed animals so special is that there is an iPad app!
So a foster child’s loved one can record the story to be read to the child in your home!!!
· Recordable Storybooks: A foster child’s family member can record a story and read to their child no matter where they are this season with the help of Hallmark Recordable Storybooks! With fun illustrations and music, their familiar voice can be added to a Christmas story that can be replayed time and again by your foster child. Check out this Spanish version of The Very First Christmas!!!
Other Hallmark products I absolutely LOVE are:
· Be a Part of the Story: Transform traditional story time into an interactive adventure with Hallmark’s newest storybooks, Be a Part of the Story. When special lines are read aloud, the main character chimes in with a question or choice for a child to answer. Once the child answers, the story continues! Our 3-year-old, Lil Bit, loves choo-choo trains and in this book, All Aboard!, he helps the conductor, Conner, make decisions, such as which track to take and what to feed a cow standing on the tracks.
· Keepsake Ornaments: More than just decorations, Keepsake Ornaments capture the memories of the holidays, commemorating the events, relationships and interests that shape your life throughout the years. Check out this Forever Family snowflake ornament!
And this weekend is Hallmark’s Gift of Memories weekend!!! You earn $5 with the purchase of any Keepsake Ornament!
