Barnes & Noble is having a sale on Kid’s books, toys, and items that are holiday favorites. This sale is going to last for only four days. It started December 3, 2010, and will continue through December 6, 2010. This is the perfect time to shop for gifts for the children in your family!
A great way to encourage reading, and literacy, is to make certain that there are plenty of great books on hand, for young readers to pick up and enjoy. Take the time to read to your children, but don’t forget to let your children catch you immersed in a good book, yourself, as well. Children emulate what they see. If you want your kids to grow into being strong readers, they need to see you reading. Books, and certain kinds of toys, are also an excellent way to spark a child’s imagination. You can find some wonderful gifts for kids at Barnes & Noble right now, in their four day sale.
Buy one toy from a selection from the Melissa & Doug collection, and save 50% off the price of the second toy you purchase. These toys encourage imaginative play, and give children a chance to be creative. Some really interesting toys that are included in this sale are: a train puzzle that makes train sounds when the pieces are put in correctly, a set of dinosaur stamps (with the ink, and some colored pencils included), and a magnetic chalkboard that has a dry-erase board on the other side, (which includes a magnetized alphabet, chalk, and a dry-erase marker). Check the Barnes & Noble website to see the entire selection.
Save 40% off Holiday Favorites. This includes favorite books by Shel Silverstein, Mike Lupica, and Eoin Colfer. It also includes a wide variety of fun and interesting picture books, chapter books, and books about superheros, sports, and stuff to do. Books by Dr. Seuss are Buy Two Books, and Get the Third Book Free. Save 20% when you buy a picture book and the plush toy that matches the character in the book. Do your kids enjoy puzzles? You can get the Peanuts Christmas Puzzle for just $4.95 when you spend $20 or more on puzzles.
