That’s the way things happen on The Plinkco Express (w/ free downloadable Christmas wish list print)


     All aboard The Plinkco Express! Welcome! I am so excited to be writing this blog! To start off, I would love to introduce myself!  My name is Jessica Gregory and I am a mom of two little ones; Corban, who will be two in December (on New Years Eve), and Ava who just turned 4 months old (picture of my family below). I’m sure you will be hearing about them a lot on this blog!  Erica and I have been best friends since childhood and I was so excited when she had this idea of doing a blog for her new business, Plink Co. Express Learning. 


     Our hope is that this blog will be a useful resource and an encouragement to parents and teachers!  If you follow Plink Co. Express Learning on Facebook or instagram, you probably know that Erica values her followers and wants to build a sense of community. She’s not just in the business of selling toys, she wants to be a help and encouragement and build a support system for people who are trying to educate,  children at home, in the classroom, or wherever else it may be! I am totally bought in to that vision and am passionate about it! So give us your feedback! Comments, questions, requests: we want to hear from you! 

     We will feature different items in the store and chat about them but that will not be all this blog is about! I do, however, have to share this adorable picture of my sons face when he was first introduced to his Plink Co. Wooden Wobble Balance Board! (I would apologize for the mess, but if you’re reading this blog, chances are you’ve been around kids enough to understand!)

Here are 3 things you can always expect on our blog: 

1.) Freebies!

    We will always have an activity or something fun for you and/or the kids!  This week we have a Christmas wish list because Christmas is just around the corner and if these aren’t done yet, the time is ticking! (Bonus points if your child writes in a toy from Plink Co.!)

2.) Exclusives! 

          Offers, Promos and Insiders

The exclusive offer in this post is get a pack of 16 of these adorable Christmas gift tags free with any purchase from Plink Co. Express Learning this weekend only! 

Also, this is sort of an insider... if you follow Plink Co.   Express Learning on social media, you may have seen today that these sweet custom wooden name puzzles have just been added to the shop! Erica makes these and she does a fantastic job! (And how cute is that name on display in these pictures? Okay, maybe I'm a little biased about thats.) 



3.) Encouragement to keep doing what you are doing to invest in this next generation! 

     My mother-in-law always says, “The days may be long but the years are short.”  I tell myself this all of the time being a stay at home mom with a baby and a toddler!  The days really do feel long but it is such a privilege that we to get to invest in, teach, love on, and develop these children.  Hang in there because while the days are long, the years are oh, so short! Your work and investment will pay off and the reward will be great! 

     And that, my friends, is the way things happen on Plinkco. Express! Stay tuned next week for a fun Thanksgiving freebie.  Meanwhile, go get out you favorite Christmas mug and sip some coffee or hot cocoa and watch The Polar Express. It’s been a long year and I don’t know about you, but I am beyond ready for the holidays!

Gobble ‘till you Wobble (Board)

How is it possible that it’s almost Thanksgiving?! My, how the time is flying! I’ve been trying to teach Corban to say “Gobble Gobble” so that I could get a video of him Gobbling while he’s wobbling on his Plink Co. Wooden Wobble Balance Board. He says something that sounds like a mix between Gobble and Wobble but the struggle to get it on video for you is real!  What I do have for you, in light of Thanksgiving coming up, is a fun printable for the kids!   Thanksgiving Placemat - Free Download Corban's not quite 2 but he’s totally going to be scribbling all over one of these! He loves coloring! He has a wooden table that we let him color at but instead of coloring at his table he’s started coloring on his table! We tried for a while to get him to only color on his coloring book but his table has started looking like a piece of art so we gave up.  When Erica gave us our Plink Co. Wooden Wobble Balance Board I told her we’d try to keep the crayons away from it so it stays n...

Roses are Red, Violets are blue. Colors are fun when learning with you!

How is it almost Valentine’s Day!? Plink Co. recently has released several adorable color sorting Montessori toys including these adorable valentine themed ones so it only seemed appropriate to talk about colors on this blog post! (Warning: Be prepared for picture overload! There are so many different options so I have a lot to show you!) Perhaps you already know that teaching kids things like color sorting and shape sorting actually set fundamentals for mathematics, but this was news to me! This Valentine’s sensory box (pictures above) is absolutely adorable and has a little of both! If you don’t want the full sensory box though, there is a smaller angel peg doll version as well!  And if you don’t want the Valentine theme, that is not the only option!  These sensory boxes are great because there are so many things you can do with them! You and your kids or students can use your imagination and use them in several ways that all encourage learning!  There is the smaller an...
