Permanent learning is a common theme here at All About Learning Press. When you take the time to teach your child something, you want it to stick. You want to make a difference. You want them to remember the concepts years from now.
Today I went to visit Ginger, a darling pony mare I used to own. I haven’t played with Ginger in about a year, but she remembered everything we used to do together, in spite of the fact that she hasn’t done any of her tricks since last spring.

Enter to win the delightful Herd Your Horses board game!
Any child who loves horses will want to hop in the saddle for Herd Your Horses!, a colorful game in which players get to experience life from the horse’s or the rancher’s point of view!
Depending on which adventure players choose, they can be wild mustang stallions galloping through mountains and valleys, gathering a herd to protect against cougars and other obstacles, or ranchers rounding up strays to fill out their herds. Along the way, players get in-depth educational information about horses and horse breeds. Yeehaw!
One of my greatest pleasures is gardening. I have a beautiful perennial garden, and all my plants have wonderful copper labels. I choose copper labels because they age nicely. You use a ballpoint pen to write on the soft copper, and the pressure from the pen leaves an imprint in the label. This summer I [...]
Learning to ride horses and becoming a student again has been an interesting experience. Each week, I get to see things from the viewpoint of a learner (often, a struggling learner!). Growing up, I had a pony named Taffy. I rode her bareback, bitless and fearless. I learned early on to grip with my legs, [...]
Imagine that a teacher brings to her class a bag of flour, a packet of yeast, a bowl of tomato sauce, and various piles of cheese, sausage, and dried herbs. She unceremoniously dumps the food on an empty desk in the front of the room. All the ingredients are wholesome, but her students know that [...]
According to experts, the average dog knows approximately 160 words. My previous experience with family dogs (a clever and fun-loving Australian Shepherd and an ultra-intelligent and bossy Welsh Corgi) easily supported that figure. Then one day, along came Gracie the Whippet puppy. She arrived with boundless puppy energy, an enormous wellspring of love to share, [...]
The Chipmunk of Doom is in a snit. He set off for the market early this morning to get the ingredients for his holiday baking…but instead of the pleasant cinnamon-scented experience he’d been hoping for, he was accosted left and right by misbehaving apostrophes. It’s enough to drive a chipmunk nuts! Up and down the [...]
The Chipmunk of Doom has been watching TV and he’s not happy. In fact, he’s downright miffed. You see, after surfing the channels from reality shows to news programs to sitcoms, he discovered that there are generations of people of every kind who have kicked the pronoun ME to the curb—and they’re spreading the trend [...]
Simplicity in a game is something that I cherish—a sentiment that is likely shared by anyone with a preschool-aged child! Complicated games that contain countless pieces are much more likely to end up gathering dust on a shelf instead of being frequently enjoyed. I’ve recently discovered a delightfully simple and extremely entertaining game called Hullabaloo. [...]
Every morning I have a big mug of tea with milk and sugar. This particular mug, however, is a toddler magnet, adorned as it is with bright colors and frolicking sheep. As soon as I sit down, I’m swarmed by little boys, who touch the sheep with their fingertips and start jabbering away in what [...]
