Learning through Listening! A Great Gift for Preschoolers [Eardrops Journeys]

Eardrops Journeys fun educational CDs for children aged 1-4+.


Nurture your grandchild’s early language and listening skills with Eardrop’s Journeys. These NZ made fun and gentle stories on CD are a wonderful way to introduce the sounds of our world to very young children. Each CD is designed to teach everyday language and improve the concentration span of the listener. Having an ability to listen is a precursor to learning to read later when children start school. By working on language and listening, these CDs help build essential pre-reading skills.

"I’m constantly coming across new products for preschoolers, but Eardrops has a real point of difference in that it targets your child’s listening and auditory skills – an important area to develop before they start school." Kathryn Granich, Editor OHbaby! Magazine

Our special GrownUps offer is for the latest title Eardrop’s Journey: Sounds of the Home. There is a Grandparent in this story! (‘Eardrop the bunny’ helps his Nana prepare for her birthday party – together they discover thirty everyday sounds around the house including Nana’s cat, the vacuum cleaner, bath, lawnmower, piano, and more).

GrownUps Package:


GrownUps members can purchase Sounds of the Home for just $18 (normally $19.99) In addition you’ll receive a lovely New Zealand children’s picture book worth $10 - FREE! That’s $30 value for $18! And postage is FREE too!


Simply use the code GROWNUPS in the discount coupon area when you purchase via our secure online store at eardrops.co.nz or call Liz Donnelly on freephone 0508 327 376. Your CD and book will be sent within 24 hours. Happy 2010 and Happy Listening!












“My nieces in Aus both though the CD was great and the kids 2 and 3yrs both ask for them to be played. She commented on the need for children to listen to sounds without the constant visuals and background noise. I was just as pleased that she had learned from her son with that comment.” Kathy McLeigh - Senior Early Intervention Teacher

by -L-R 4th February 2010 I bought this CD for my grandson for Xmas and received the free book along with it. My daughter who is a school teacher said it is the best book and CD she has ever come across and will purchase more to take to her children at school. Her son starts recognizing the sounds when she puts the CD on and will sit that trying to imitate the sounds---he kicks his wee legs and gets very excited. The book too has wonderfully clear illustrations and this would have to be the best thing I have ever bought him. Congratulations on such a well thought out idea and one of the best books on the market. We will be purchasing more
