Keera, Levana's Touch Panel Video Baby Monitor
With a Baby Monitor like the Keera, you can do more knowing your child is safe. The thing we'd do more of is get some sleep! Our babies were into co-sleeping. We never felt safe with them in the other room- if only we had this monitor! Keep reading this review to learn how you can WIN your own. Enjoy!
We really wanted a video monitor. Not only does everyone here at Kids Creative Chaos have babies and small children, some of us have GRAND babies! Our little granddaughter often spends the night at our house. We wanted to feel secure knowing that she is safe and sound, not climbing out of her bed, and not getting squished by a big, fat cat.
But... there were other reasons we wanted a baby monitor...
Our 9 yr. old is very in to detective work. It has been her dream for the last 5 or so years to catch Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy in the act. Mommy wants to know what the cats do when we're gone. I mean, do they sleep all day or do they terrorize the house? AND, what do the cats do when they see the Tooth Fairy?
Full Disclosure: We'd also planned to use the camera to monitor the chicken coop at night, but after receiving this one for review, we quickly decided against that. This is a very NICE camera. Far too good for placement in the chicken coop!
The Keera, Levana's 3.5" touch panel baby monitor has pan, tilt, and zoom. It can record video and take pictures while viewing the live performance on your monitor. The battery lasts up to 24 hrs. The monitor has a touch panel with simple icons that make selecting the features easy. You can do more knowing your child is safe. Imagine using it as a Nanny Cam while you have an older sibling babysit as you make a run to the store for bread and milk.
All Levana monitors are cordless, eliminating the risk of strangulation. You can keep the charging cords in another room or out of your babies reach.
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Levana. The opinions and text are all mine.

You need special software to view your baby monitor videos on your computer. This helps keep them safer from hackers. We wanted to share the soothing music, so we took a video of our video! :) The pictures and videos are high quality, and make great family keepsakes when you download the software.

- They know their stuff! Levana launched the first-ever wireless handheld baby monitor in 2002.
- The monitors are state of the art with invisible LED's and ClearVu Digital Wireless Technology (to protect from hackers).
- They are one of the first movement monitors ever introduced.
- Smart LED Indicator Ring
- Sound indicator ring changes color with the sound of your baby’s voice alerting you if she is crying out when you have the volume turned down and features adjustable sensitivity.
Blah, blah... you want to know how we liked it? More importantly, you want to know how to score your own, right? Loved it.

Plan the Best Sleepover Ever with These 5 Cool Games and Activities for Teens
These five, easy party ideas for teenagers will help you plan a fun sleepover or even the best slumber party ever! Click the links to find more great birthday party ideas for both teen boys and girls. Enjoy! |
| 5 Best Sleepover Games and Activities for Teens. |
 |
| Have all the guest wear all of their clothes backward. |
- Who's in the Bag?
 |
| Play, "Who's in the Bag?", at your next sleepover. |
Before the party, mark straws with the number of party guest minus
one. On the last straw, write "it" with a Sharpie. Have each guest
choose a straw. Get everyone's sleeping bag and roll them out on
the floor in a large room. Send "it" into the bathroom or a closet.
Now, everyone else climbs into a random sleeping bag (not their
own). Pull the bag over your heads so "it" cannot see who is who.
When "it" comes back, he taps the foot of a bag and asks one question.
For example: "What is your favorite color?"
The person in the bag, disguises his voice to answer but answers truthfully.
Now, "it" guesses who is in the bag. If he guesses wrong, he moves to the next bag. If he guesses right, the player gets to come out of the bag and watch the fun!
Play continues until all player's identities are revealed.
- Cool Sleepover Game for Girls or guys, just change the sex of the hotties you choose to share :)
 |
| The guys from One Direction. |
Before the party, find photos of cute guys. Make a Pinterest board
just for the party. Pin as many cute guys as you can find, then pull
them up on the television screen with Chrome Cast. What would
you do with him? Make Out, Marry, or Dump?
- Whip Cream Fingertips
 |
| Sleepover prank: place whipcream on a sleeping beauty's fingers, then tickle her nose. |
Put some whip cream on the fingers of the first one to fall asleep.
Unlike peanut butter, which is sticky and can be deadly if anyone
at the party has a peanut allergy, whip cream is an innocent
slumber party prank. Now, gently tickle sleeping beauty's face.
Watch what happens! For the record, I hate pranks. I'm opposed.
If you are the first one to fall asleep, you probably won't be a fan
of sleepover pranks either, so keep this in mind when choosing
activities for your party.
- Cell Phone
 |
| Play "Cell Phone", a sleepover game similar to 20 questions, but better! |
Gather the party guests and pick one to be "it". Send it to the
bathroom with loud music or headphones. Now, the rest of the
group chooses a noun for the game.
For example: Cat, Car, Flower, Food.
Now, bring "it" back to guess the chosen word.
"It" has to ask questions about the unknown word. So, she replaces
the unknown word with Cell Phone. She asks each player a
different question.
For example: "Is the Cell Phone purple?" or "Does the Cell Phone
breathe?"
Like Twenty Questions, the other players (in on the secret word),
say yes or no until "it" gets the answer correct.
The last player to answer the question before she guesses correctly
becomes the next "it".

Great Resource for Homeschoolers
Homeschooling help for parents: Looking for a great resource for homeschoolers? Our website offers many educational resources for homeschoolers. Below is a review of Varun's Quest a wonderful book for homeschoolers of any age. Keep scrolling because we've also added links to our favorite homeschool resources. Enjoy!

| Jake's Journey in Art includes Language Arts. Here he reads the beautifully illustrated Varun's Quest by Timothy Goldsmith. |
Science Books for Homeschoolers
- We were given the opportunity to review Varun's Quest, which is a wonderful science book for homeschoolers. Varun's Quest is a fictional tale depicting non-fiction science. The story is fun to read aloud as a family or in a group setting with the ideal audience being 2nd - 5th grade. Older children will enjoy reading the story themselves and then sharing the details with "the class." The author of this creative tale, is Yale Biology Professor, Timothy Goldsmith. Get your copy here: Buy Varun's Quest.
An elf leads children through the story quest while he shares all about the science around us. It starts with an informative science lesson on bees. Jake, enjoys the way the stories unfold and likes that the stories are based on reality. Whenever he isn't sure about something, he Googles to find out more, so these stories have evolved into a full blown science curriculum. He'll write questions in his daily science journal and then look them up later on Google. What a great way to teach science to your homeschooler! For a fun activity, pair this book with Bee Movie.
We used the book as a catalyst for making scientific posters, doing science experiments, and of course, to practice creative writing.
- Our all time FAVORITE Science Books for Homeschoolers are the Life of Fred Science books. These books are great for kids of any age. Parents will enjoy them too. Anyone reading Life of Fred will learn something new!
- Gail Gibbons Encyclopedia Series are a wealth of information for anyone who enjoys reading. All of her books are beautiful illustrated. They cover science, history, and art. While these books may be at a higher reading level for early elementary students, younger children will enjoy looking at the pictures while listening to the stories.

Preschool Circle Time is for Group Lessons, Games, and Interaction
Running out of ideas for Preschool Circle Time? Every preschool program needs circle time for group interaction. This is a time to build structure into the program, so the children know what to expect each day. It is great to offer circle time at least twice a day- once in the morning, and once just before time to go home. These ideas will help build a sense of togetherness, (community) a time for sharing, and a fun learning environment for the kids. Enjoy!

| Elementary Circle Time Games, Activities, and Ideas for Preschoolers and Toddlers. |
14 Ideas and Activities for Circle Time
1. Dance Freeze - Play some music or sing a song. Everyone dances willy nilly. Suddenly, stop the song, but don't sing to the end of a verse, that is too predictable. Everyone must freeze in their position. Is one leg up? Are they doing the worm? If they move, they must sit frozen in that spot, criss-cross applesauce and wait to see who can freeze the longest. No blinking or twitching allowed.
2. Bug in a Rug - This is an oldie, but a goodie. Everyone sits in the circle. Before you begin to play, explain EXACTLY how the game works. Grab a blanket or a big beach towel. Now, pick one child to leave the room or wear a fun blindfold. Teacher picks a student. Shh! Just point at the child, grab their hand and take them away from the group. Now, point at another child and then to the "rug". Hide the child under the "rug." Bring the other preschooler back. Can they guess who is missing?
3. Pass the Movement - I played this for years with preschoolers and school-age children in summer camps, but I didn't give it a name. I found the name at Preksharing Blog. She says it is adapted from a book published in 2011, but we used to do this years ago in summer camp and afterschool programs. Just goes to show, great minds think alike! It is simple to play. Teacher starts with a movement. Perhaps, you wave your hand in the air. Now, the person sitting to your right must wave their hand and add a movement like wiggling their nose. The next person to the right, does those movements and adds one of their own. It is a "WAVE" of different movements.
4. Shake the Sillies Out - Need a game to get kids' moving? Find some Dragon Tunes
from the cartoon, Dragon Tales, and every morning, "Shake the Sillies Out"! Just play the song, and follow the instructions. Kids love this one!
5. Circle Time Collaborative Painting - I like the idea of painting circles in collaboration like the one from Art Project Girl in the link. You know, where Teach lays out a big sheet of paper and painting supplies and everyone paints concentric circles? What if we do it as a part of Circle Time? Pass the painting, and make a PROGRESSIVE PAINTING.
This idea teaches patience. Everyone must wait their turn. It builds excitement too. Lay out a large painting tarp, sit the children in a circle on the tarp, give each child a cup of paint and a brush. No painting unless it is your turn. To make it less frustrating, pass two large poster boards around starting at opposite ends. Children are allowed to paint only 1 circle or shape of their choice per turn. While they are painting, teacher shares an art lesson on shapes!

Story Starter - You know the story about the unhappy cows in the barn? They have a typewriter. They are making demands. An electric blanket would be nice. What else might the farm animals want from the farmer?  |
| Click Clack Moo Story Starter Circle Time Game. |
Play a Circle Time Game where each child is given an animal. Before the game, print out cards with farm animal pictures on one side and their name on the other. Each child draws a card from a hat. Give this example to the kids: What does the (insert animal here) pig want? "Dear Farmer Brown, the barn is smelly. Please send air fresheners." Have each child come up with their own idea for what the animal on the card might want from the farmer.
7. Animal Movement Game - Take the game above one step further. Get the kids moving like the animals. Ask, "What does a pig say?" Now, "How does a pig move?" The children take turns walking around the circle like the animal on their cards.
8. Quiet Mouse, Still Mouse - When Circle Time is done, keep children in a circle to release them to the next preschool activity. The teacher explains, the child who sits as quiet as a mouse (the quietest) get to line up first. Continue until everyone (or almost everyone, I don't like to single out those who can't sit still or quiet) is in line.
9. Calendar Time - Sing "Sunday, Monday, Tuesday Wednesday, Thursday Friday, Saturday. Suunday, Munday... TUUESday" Emphasize the current day of the week. Sing the song and then check the calendar. Who can find today on the calendar? Here's another days of the week song sung to the Addam's Family theme.
10. Alphabet Shopping - Using the first letter of each child's name, pretend to go shopping for an item that begins with that letter. For example, “Jake will buy a jump rope.” Go around the circle until everyone has had a turn. This helps with letter recognition. For more ideas like this visit Early Childhood News.
11. Talking Stick - Bring in a cane, or recycle a cardboard wrapping paper tube. The kids can help decorate the "Talking Stick" with Washi or Duct Tape, Glitter, or Feathers. During Circle Time, grab the stick. Now, explain to the group that this is a talking stick. Only the person who holds it may speak. This is a great tool to use for Show and Tell or other situations where children take turns sharing. More lessons in patience and turn taking.
12. Birthday Day of the Week Bags - PreK Pages Blog has a fun idea for Day of the Week Bags. Make a brown paper bag for each day of the week. Give it a colorful label, and fill it with the names of classmates who have birthdays on this day or other special things that happen on this day of THIS week.
13. Pictures with Facial Expressions - Hold up magazine pictures of facial expressions. Ask, "What is this person feeling." Have the children take turns making the face. After you play this game, have the kids draw themselves like this emotion art lesson.
14. Play Duck, Duck, Goose? - This old standby might be boring to you, but it is likely new to the toddlers and preschoolers in your class. Change it up each day. After they get the hang of the game, add a creative play element by acting it out. Have the kids act and walk like the animal as they toddle around. Walk and Talk like the animal. For older or school-age children, change the theme to pig, pig, cow or ghost, ghost, vampire.

Your Baby Can Learn by Playing Music
Have you ever wondered how a toddler would interact if you put musical instruments in front of her? Babies and toddlers learn through play. Music is sound, rhythm, and more. All of that can translate to music, math, and science. Enjoy!
This post contains Amazon affiliate links for your convenience.
A great way for a toddler to learn is by hitting a drum, shaking a maraca, a tambourine, or some shaker eggs. You can make your own drum, grab some pots and pans, or buy a baby music set to teach your baby to play music.
We’ve experimented with the B. Parum Pum Pum Drum Set
. This set is for ages 18 months-24 months, and it is perfect for baby sensory play. |
| Music is one of the best forms of baby and toddler sensory play. |
Our baby tester loved playing with this toy. She laughed and mimicked mommy hitting the drum. Beat the drum and count out to ten. This is a great way to introduce counting to a toddler. Practice with them.
Will she tap the drum ten times too? Make it a game and practice each day. You can experiment with patterns too. You know, rumpa pum pum. Tap the drum or shake a shaker in a numerical pattern: 3-1-3-1-3-1 or 5-2-5-2-5-2 and so on. If you speak the counting of each beat, the child will begin to learn to count as well: “One- two three- one- one- two- three- one- one- two- three- one.
Baby’s favorite toy in the B. Parum Pum Pum Drum Set is the shaker egg. Whenever she shakes it she laughs! Each instrument makes a different sound which is excellent for sensory play. Demonstrate each toy’s sound to your toddler. Can she copy the sound with her voice? “Shh Shh Shh Shh”. Practicing to copy these sounds, and moving her lips to form the sounds, can help her learn to speak.
This music play set should entertain your child, keeping her busy for long enough for you to do the dishes! If you have older children, they can join in on the fun too. Let them be a babysitter and play tutor. They will enjoy making music (or just banging and shaking the instruments to make noise). All of the items store inside the drum so it stays together making it easy to put away.
Baby play with musical Instruments helps a child learn creativity through play. Another way to teach creativity and reduce sensory issues is to paint. Starting art lessons early will aid in color and shape recognition. Check out the recommended reading list below to find more posts and books on sensory play for babies and toddlers.

Fun Games for Holiday Parties
- Group Scavenger Hunt
Divide into teams: Team Rudolph, Team Dasher, Team Frosty, Team Elf- you get the idea. Make a list of things to find and return to Santa (you) to win the game. Look for things around the office, school, house, where ever you hold you hunt and make a list, check it twice, and then print out a copy for each team. Teams can be of 2-6 players.
- Christmas Ornament Bowling
Need a fun ice breaker or silly game to get great Instagram shots or You Tube videos? Try ornament bowling! To set up th
game: Use rolls of wrapping paper. Unroll them to form each
"bowling" lane. Use miniature Christmas Trees or Decorative
Santa Figures as the bowling pins. These Christmas decorations
are the perfect theme for this holiday party game.
- Icebreaker Game for a Party
How about this Sticky Note guessing game: Who am I?Write one holiday thing or decoration word on each sticky note. Choose words like: Snowman, Christmas Tree, Santa Claus, Sleigh, Rudolph, Menorah, Danny Kaye, Elf on a Shelf, Bing Crosby, or Yukon Cornelius, even movie titles.
Players go from party guests and ask one question. The answer must be a yes or no answers. "Am I alive?" "Do I wear a red hat?"
Play continues until each player solves the mystery of "Who am I?"
Instead of sticky notes or paper taped to people's backs, try writing names on Dollar Store Santa Hats with Glitter Pens. Guest can keep them as party favors!
 |
| Fun hats make for silly games and fun pictures with kids and adults! |
- Santa Belly Limbo? Office Party
Add a Holiday or Christmas twist to a fun icebreaker game for the office. Have each player describe two of the worst Christmas gifts they ever received. Make sure one is true and one is a lie. Now, have another player guess which one is true! This is a fun way to get to know co-workers.
- Candy Canes Game
Have you ever played the game spoons? Try using candy canes instead! The kids will like this game. Winner eats all!How to Play Spoons
- Fill the Stocking Race
Find the largest Christmas stockings you can (I found mine at Dollar Tree). Fill it with empty wrapped boxes. Have players race to unwrap them all. The first one done wins! Play the race to wrap game first, and then you won't have to do any upfront prep! See, what I did there? Yeah, my lazy meter is always on guard.
- Hot Christmas Potato Game for Adults
Each guests bring one wrapped item from a Dollar Store. $1 limit! Play hot potato to Holiday Music. When the music stops everyone unwraps the gift, and shares what they got with the crowd.
- Snowball Contest
You need baskets of new socks in all sizes. Each team rolls their basket of socks into "snow balls". When all of the socks are rolled into balls let the snowball fight begin. Use a table or chair with a white table cloth to serve as each team's home base hideout.
You can also make a snowman, and use his belly button as a bull's eye. The team with the most bull's eyes wins!
I sure hope you have the best Christmas office party ever with these fun holiday games! Happy Holidays :) from KCC
