The Bright Ideas Company is a project my husband and I started in 2007 as a way to share the teaching aids I created for our daughter. Our sons are nearly seven years older and were already in school when Sadie was born. Not surprisingly, by the time she was a toddler she wanted to have school also. Never wanting to discourage learning, I indulged her, thinking she would loose interest quickly. Boy was I wrong! She loved it! She quickly learned her letters & letter sounds, and was reading simple words by age three. By four, she was counting to 100; even skip counting by 2's and 5's to 100.
Like most people, we have always lived on a budget, and effective teaching aids and easy reader books are not always cost effective. Neither are they easy to find. Frustrated, I decided to simply make the materials I needed to teach my daughter at home. I wrote books, and created printables & games for her. Many friends and family members had children about the same age, so I decided to give the materials a more professional look and share them with others. I've always stated on my blog that the good life should be free...and it should. Unfortunately, the real world is not free at all. And so, we have listed our products on CurrClick at an affordable price. However, I will continue to offer freebies and special offers for my blog readers.
Visit CurrClick to check out our product line. I am currently in the process of reformatting all the materials I've made so that they can be available online, so more materials will be added as I get them ready. Books are available as downloads to be viewed on your device or printed by you. CurrClick does offer books as printed materials shipped to you, and I am working on getting that set up as well. I will update this page when that option is available. Here is a quick preview of some of our products.
