Angela Orfei is a fan of Beetling and I am a fan of her! She works with Discovery Toys and I wanted to share her story... Who doesn't need a little more play time??
About Me
Almost 2 years ago my husband and I decided to move away from the hustle and bustle of big city living in, Calgary, AB and settled in the beautiful family friendly city of Fredericton, NB.
My husband and I both changed careers, he moved into a great new management position and I officially became a SAHM.
I felt very fortunate to have the opportunity to stay home with my children but soon realized that just being a mom and wife wasn’t quite as fulfilling as I had expected. I found that I missed the feeling of accomplishment that comes with working outside of the home.
As a SAHM I often felt like I wasn’t accomplishing anything but rather just maintaining the order in my home. It’s true, I was at home taking care of my children, playing with them and nurturing them, which is a VERY significant accomplishment, but I wanted more. I wanted to find something that would help me retain my computer skills, something that allowed me to be creative, and I wanted to interact with adults as well as kids.
My mother-in-law from Calgary first introduced our family to Discovery Toys Educational Products. She gave my son a set of Measure Up Cups when he was 2 and a Discovery Toys Water Rocket this past summer. We loved the toys and it was my mother-in-law’s suggestion that I look into selling them. I took her advice, like every good daughter-in-law should, and ordered the Success Start Kit in August 2009.
That was when my LOVE affair with Discovery Toys Educational products began…
Why I LOVE Discovery Toys
I LOVE the fact that my children can play with these toys independently but can learn SO much more through interactive play with me
I LOVE that the majority of these toys do not need BATTERIES!! In fact, only 2 toys in the entire catalogue use batteries. I find that “no batteries” encourages my children to become more engaged in play and involved rather than just be a spectator (active play rather than passive play)
I LOVE the Discovery Toys Unconditional Satisfaction Guarantee! The DT head office offers me as an Educational Consultant AMAZING customer service. I in turn can offer No Hassle returns/refunds & exchanges!
I LOVE the fact that Discovery Toys are so reasonably priced, yet they still have GREAT monthly promotions and sales! Even better, I can offer busy parents so many different shopping options! You can order from me online, at a Shopping Party or via email/phone.

I LOVE Discovery Toys because they are so multifaceted, you can play with these toys in so many different ways. One of our faves is Measure Up Cups: These cups are AMAZING, they can be stacked, nested, colour sorted, size sorted, are trilingual, can teach volume, measurement, can be used as stamps in play dough AND show clock positions! The age range for these cups is 12m-primary, so children can get at least 4 years worth of play out of this toy. These toys can definitely grow with your children. Currently my 3 year olds other favourites are Zingo and Motorworks (which is also daddy’s fave)
I LOVE that fact that Discovery Toys has a Parts Replacement Program and you can buy replacement pieces for your toys rather than having to buy a whole new toy.
I LOVE the fact that Discovery Toys have VERY Strict Testing standards and they have NEVER had a recall in the over 30 years that they have been in business!
What I LOVE the absolute most about these toys is the feeling of accomplishment that I get when I can see that my children are enjoying learning. I LOVE the proud look on my son’s face as he completes a puzzle or wins a Zingo game. I LOVE the humungous smile that I receive from my son when I suggest he turn off the T.V. and play a game with me.
I will admit that as a parent I sometimes forget how important it is to play with my children. Sometimes it’s hard to ignore the “leaning tower of laundry”, the sink full of dishes or the “crunchy” kitchen floor and make time for play. These toys definitely make learning fun and really encourage parents to spend good quality time with their children. Through Discovery Toys I have learned to make PLAY a priority in our house.
Becoming a Discovery Toys Educational Consultant has given me all the opportunities that I was looking for. I am able to be creative through my business marketing, home shopping parties and planning for events and fairs. I’ve created a Facebook Fan Page, am on Twitter and most recently started writing my own blog. I’m extremely busy but I LOVE the feeling of accomplishment that comes with growing a successful home business.
Instead of just taking care of my family I am taking care of myself and in turn am becoming a better mother and wife, that’s what I LOVE best of
all.
