Educating A Child Is A Team Effort @ZooBeanForKids #ZooBeanExpert

There are so many things kids get excited about, and sometimes as parents we aren’t sure where to find the best products to encourage them. ZooBean is a service that curates apps and books for your individual child based on their interests and reading level. The truth is, it can be hard to find great educational resources that are appropriate for your child, so for parents that want to give their children a head start, but need some guidance to make sure they are making good choices, ZooBean can help.

You create a personal relationship with the curators of ZooBean, whom offer quality suggestions for educational resourced based on your child’s profile and interests, and your feedback. Everyone works together for our children. I discovered wonderful books and educational apps I never heard of before thanks to the knowledge of the curators, such as this great app that I downloaded as soon as it was recommended, that teaches children character building and creativity:

educational apps for children

Zoobean Expert provides unlimited literacy “kits” focused on themes like “Exploring Egypt”, “Loving Yourself”, “Unicorns, Mermaids, and other Magical Creatures” and more. I chose the Manners kit because this is something I always want to work on with my children, and at their age it seems especially important to reinforce this (and I needed some help knowing how). This kit is filled with suggestions for books and apps that are quite varied, so if your child favors his iPad, books with dinosaurs, or a book with a girl as the main character, you can find something that’s a fit for you.

The kits include book recommendations, discussion starters, hands-on activities, and multimedia resources created by the personal experts, who are educators and librarians themselves, and have experience knowing what is effective for children.

How to use ZooBean Expert

If you are joining Zoobean Expert, just sign up your child and build their profile, and your dashboard (aka SmartList) will be populated with recommendation and reading guides after your curator has a chance to research the best books and apps based on your child’s profile. No automated systems with automated responses…connect with your personal expert and share feedback, ask questions, and refine choices based on your child’s interest and changing reading level. You can also search on your own throught a database of selections categorized with over 1,400 tags.

ZooBean was featured on NBC’s Shark Tank and found support with Mark Cuban (a proud dad whom I always thought had good judgement). The subscription is affordable- only $25 a year, and with the coupon code of EXPERTPENELOPE you save an additional $10 (that’s just $15 a year to give your child a great head start).

You no longer have to wonder if you are finding the right books to read with your child, or which apps will encourage his curiosity and help him the most. You can prevent summer learning loss that can happen over the summer months when children aren’t exposed to educational experiences. With Zoobean Expert, only $15 a year, you’ll know you are working with an expert who cares to provide your children with your best.
