Musicolor Review

is known around the globe for producing creative products that emphasize self-expression through color!
Delta Creative is known around the globe for producing creative products that emphasize self-expression through color. Delta Creative is focused on innovation, quality and service. Our products epitomize brilliant innovation, convenience and quality. That is what has made us the dominant force in the premium paint and craft industry for almost 50 year. Our process of constant regeneration continues through tireless expansion of our product lines that provide the perfect catalyst to our customers’ imaginations. Last year, we launched our “Delta Kids” product collection to include more than 50 new items appealing to creative young consumers, parents and grandparents alike.


 I received the greatest product from Delta Creative. It was a Musicolor. Musicolor is the first of its kind to combine coloring and music in one toy! Musicolor includes 1 music player, 14 pre-printed song discs, 8 music note markers, 5 create-a-song discs, and 1 pre-colored song disc. Just color the song disc, place the disc on your music player and listen to your creation. Simply color, play, and listen! It is the most fun my kids have had with music and coloring. The creative coloring opens up the child’s imagination as well. They start to wonder if they put this color here, then it will make this sound. My kids got very creative making patterns with the many Create a song discs that came with the Musicolor. I recommend getting one of these for any child. It is so fun!

Alphabotz Review

IMAGINE . . .

Instead of formulas and worksheets, children get to unlock secrets and solve mysteries. Instead of rote memorization or rules, children become fascinated with character stories, songs, and stats which just happen to reinforce beginning reading skills. Instead of contrived educational text, children embark on adventures in the magical Kingdom of Alpha where they break codes, solve problems, tell stories, perform and pretend. Instead of one learning method for all children, a combination of strategies is utilized that engages the senses and accommodates different learning styles.


THE JOY AND POWER OF READING . . .

Presenting Alphabotz, a multimedia program for children ages 3 and up, designed by a parent and teacher to engage and build confidence in beginning readers by personifying the abstract concept that LETTERS equal SOUNDS, SOUNDS build WORDS, and WORDS tell amazing STORIES. Through a proven combination of teaching strategies including phonemic awareness, phonics, sight words, and language experience, a cast of fun, captivating characters provides useful tools for unlocking the secrets to this code adults call reading. Each ALPHABOTZ character represents a sound in the English language, and wears its identifying letter/sound on its chest. These cute, colorful robots have their own special personalities and abilities. Children share adventures with the ALPHABOTZ that incorporate fun, secret formulas for breaking codes, surprises, special needs, humor and love, and just happen to learn about the joy and power of reading along the way.


I received Alphabotz for my 4 year old to review. This great program has helped my daughter learn how to read many words. The cards are so adorable. My older kids love to use them too. It is not just a learning experience, it is a fun way to spend time with your children. The cards are creative and colorful. Giving examples of Upper and Lower case for each letter, examples of words for that letter, and a fun STAT list on the letter. For example: The letter A is for Albee with his best friend being Abner the Alligator. He lives in and attic of the Apple Cafe next to Abby’s Anthill and he asks for apples. Isn’t that just the cutest. I love it. We can create stories for our children with these cards. With 46 characters, you are sure to fall in love with this program. I know you kids will. It passed the test with 4 of mine. Alphabotz has so many more great products in the works. I can’t wait to use them. I recommend Alphabotz to any family with children eager to learn! 

The Alphabet Alphabotz characters are so cute….. Your child will love to use this program!


Things that I love....

  • Adorable Stats info on each letter, telling a story behind the charater
