Welcome to our newest follower, Soumya, great to have you here! As you were interested to know what we have purchased and are using with BC, I thought I'd share it for everyone to read.
First of all we purchased and are using all 7 of the Doman books. We are doing the reading and maths program at the moment, and are also introducing the encyclopedic knowledge program. We are doing lots of vestibular activities as suggested in the physical book and are swimming as well. I need to properly read the encyclopedic knowledge and physical superiority books and this is on my (very long) to-do list. We built a crawling track too but didn't quite follow the instructions and in the end ours is a bit wide but is still doing the job nicely!
I have made my own words, math and encyclopedic knowledge cards. For the words, I just typed up words on a landscape set page in Microsoft Word and made the fonts as large as possible where the word was all on one line. I put two words to a page, printed and laminated them and then cut them in half with a guillotine. For the math dots we used A4 pages and printed and laminated them. I have done the same thing with the encyclopedic knowledge cards of which I've done wild animals already and have made but not printed water animals, pets, farm animals, birds, dogs and reptiles. I also purchased a few cheap calenders at the $2 shop which I will pull apart and laminate the pictures. I'm looking forward to the January sales when the calenders will all be marked down to 50% off and I can get some more expensive ones to laminate and use as encyclopedic knowledge. I've seen some great ones on art, music, landmarks, countries and animals.
We purchased the entire tweedlewink package of DVD's and we are currently trying to show BC one lesson per day. We also have the trebellina music DVD and just got Your Baby Can Read. I am also waiting for my delivery of the Baby Signing Time DVD's. We are currently signing to BC using signs I learnt on Baby Einstein See and Sign and those I've learnt off the many ASL iPhone apps I downloaded.
We also do swimming, gymbaroo and both myself and my husband do lots of activities with BC to stimulate his vestibular system. We try to talk lots to him, read lots of stories and take him on 'adventures' such as walks, trips to the park, outings with the mother's groups and even just a quick trip to the shops!
I hope this helps and answers some questions!

BrillKids website and forum
I have mentioned it a few times but I should really introduce properly, this AMAZING early learning (and everything else related to raising children) forum full of a wealth of excellent information and brilliant people. I guess the name does describe it well!
BrillKids is an excellent website and forum that I visit on a daily basis and am learning so much from. The forum is by far my favourite part but they have so many other great resources to help you on your early learning journey. They also have excellent products for teaching reading, math and encyclopedic knowledge to name a few. A music program is also on its way.
From their website; 'We strongly believe in the importance of early learning and believe that we, as parents, can do a great deal to help our children fulfill their innate potential, while also ensuring that the learning process remains fun for both parent and child.'
The forum covers EVERYTHING you can possible imagine regarding learning, parenting, pregnancy and more. I highly recommend you join us in this amazing community. By being involved in the BrillKids Forum, you not only have the opportunity to bounce ideas off other parents, you also get to earn points just for contributing that you can redeem for discount coupons from many excellent early learning companies, or for files for your Little Reader and Little Math programs. There are hundreds of free files for members to download as well that you can use to teach your children.
The points system was a great bonus for me as we were looking to buy some Baby Signing Time DVD's and the Tweedlewink DVD's and I was able to 'spend' some of my points to buy discount coupons for these products. Every little bit helps!
I know this sounds like an ad but this is my opinion only and I have definitely not been asked to say any of this! The forum has been an excellent resource for us and of course, best of all, it is FREE!
If you are interested, check out the forum's website at http://www.brillkids.com/ra.php?46994. By using this special link, and by using the coupon code BKAFF46994 (just cut and paste it when you sign up), you will get a bonus 500 points just for becoming a member through my recommendation, and you will get 2000 bonus loyalty points if you choose to make a purchase from the BrillKids Online Store (you have to use the coupon here too if you want the 2000 bonus points). Don't forget, membership to this awesome website is free!
Wow, this really does read like an ad but I can't say enough how valuable this resource is!
Check it out and feel free to look me up there under AussieMumofOne.
