Hey all,
Are you looking for a fun activity to do with your family this Holiday season? Or are you looking for a fabulous unique gift idea for any one of your family members or friends? Well look no further, Hallmark has the perfect gifts for the Holidays! This Holiday season parents, grandparents, and families can participate in a new fun Holiday activity tradition with their New Hallmark Recordable Storybooks. Hallmark Recordable Storybooks are hardback books with stories from original and familiar titles.
Hallmark is also offering a great variety of titles that make great gifts to give especially to kids for this upcoming Holiday season. There are eleven fabulous Hallmark Recordable Storybook titles that you can choose from that are available in Hallmark Gold Crown stores nationwide. The collection features classics nursery rhymes, such as "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" and holiday titles including my family favorites like Frosty the Snowman, The Night Before Christmas, and The Very First Christmas. I'll be sure to pick up some of these titles to record and send to my parents and family in New York for the Holidays. I'm sure they will love it!
Frosty the Snowman is one of my families favorite stories and cartoons, so I was thrilled to have the chance to feature it in my Holiday Gift Guide! We have snow men all over our home!
In case you don't know the story of Frosty, this amazing recordable book is about a snowman who comes to life by placing a magical hat on his head. He shares some wonderful adventures with children he befriends. At the end of the story all the children are sad because he is going to melt because winter is ending, but before he departs, he reassures them he will back again someday.
Hallmark gives you the opportunity to become part of the story with these amazing books as you read the adventures of Frosty the Snowman with voice captured technology. This book allows the reader’s voice to be recorded while they are reading the story. These recordable books also make excellent gifts for a loved one in the military, grandparents who live out of state, family members overseas or parents who travel for a living.
Again these books are not just for reading, you can actually record yourself along your families voices with these amazing books and make the story your own as you read along. I know I'm always looking for more ways to spend quality time with my family, especially around the Holidays, and these books create the perfect opportunity for families to come together and capture holiday memories that last forever.
The details on how to record are very easy to follow and are printed directly on the inside front cover of the book and are also printed on the removable sleeve that comes wrapped around the book. It was super easy to do. It's as simple as just pressing record and stop.
When you finish recording and you begin to turn the pages of the book, the Recordable Storybook automatically plays the text on that page in the voices that were recorded. The recording lasts for the life of the Recordable Storybook, and who ever reads the books can listen to their mom, dad, grandparent, aunt, uncle, friend, or anyone read to them, anytime and anywhere. How amazing is that!
You can also personalize the book with the names of those who are doing the recording on the first page on the Candy Cane sign that Frosty is holding, perfect for you and your children to fill out. These recordable books will become family treasures.
The colors, drawings, and designs of this book are so beautifully vibrant and so well illustrated. I loved reading and recording this book with my family. It was a great time to spend together as a family.
Hallmark Recordable Storybooks and "Frosty The Snowman" are truly a uinque gift this Holiday.
