Magnetic Learning Calendar Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a pretty cool item, however, the magnets are very weak and stuff is all over the place. Not a very practical item for parents who don't like millions of pieces of toys scattered throughout the house!

BANK ACCOUNT Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This isn't the most creative or original game. It is very educational and despite the paperwork of filling out checks, deposit slips etc, I am surprised that my kids are excited to play this game again and again. The first person to have $5,000 in the bank wins, the game shows the flow of money in the community, and inspires trust in the economy in kids. There are surprise financial obligations as well as surprise financial boons. The game is about an hour long.

Spanish Bean Bags Colors Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I teach Spanish to preschoolers - as well as my own children - and have found these bean bags useful and fun. They come with game ideas and obviously they help children learn the colors. I also like that they use the same words for colors like 'morado' and 'anaranjado' that I use in Spanish (rather than other variations like 'violeta' and 'naranja'. They are durable too. I'm going to buy the shape bean bags now.

Learning Resources Preschool Fun Game Board Book Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This pack contains 6 games for Pre-K + kids. I was skeptical at first, because the package is 8 1/2" x 11." Here's the trick: there are 3 boards, with one game on each side. There are 4 spinners, with 2 doing double duty. It all folds back up into it's little package and fits in nicely on the book shelf.
My family has really enjoyed this set. The great things we like include:
The game directions are printed on each board and are easy to understand/follow.
The rules are easily adapted to match the child's skill level.
Some games are easier than the others, which increases the set's overall useful life.
The competitiveness is toned down a great deal.
Games can be finished very quickly. The longest we've taken on any of them was 10-15 minutes - perfect for a 3 year old attention span.
The educational factor is fantastic; one game matches capitol letters to lower case, one combines shape and color, one focuses on numbers 1-10, one uses a matching game to work with seasons, one teaches rhyming, and the last uses animals to work with numbers. But the games are still colorful and entertaining.
The only thing I don't like about this set is that the spinners are a little flimsy and I expect some tears on the boards over time. But this problem has been insignificant for us so far and we've been using the set for 6 months or so.
Overall, I highly recommend this product. Great for kids, great for parents.
EDIT: (7/2008) After several years worth of use, we've seen some wear along the creases of the boards of this game. Also, the velcro closures on the package of come loose. Otherwise, the game has held up very well under average use. No rips, tears, or other problems have cropped up.

Timing It Right Gr 2-6 Board Game Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It's easier for the kids to have fun when they don't know they are supposed to be learning!
The minimum age recommendation for Timing It Right is 7. Waiting this long would miss out on the most fun and educational parts of this game. A little flexibility is necessary, but my 5 year old son plays this game with ease and enjoys it very much.
The die is in time increments (5 mins. to 2 hrs.), not dots. As you move around the board, you are moving through a school day--waking up, eating breakfast, catching the bus, and on. You roll a time period and move ahead that much time. The directions have the player setting the a small clock to show their time on the board. You look that time up in a booklet and follow the directions for that time, which say things like "spell a word backward and move ahead 2 hours," "waiting in the playground is no fun alone, move another player to your spot," etc.
Having to do all these steps for each turn can take a little getting used to, and the booklet is rather cumbersome to flip through. At one point, we temporarily lost the unique die, and I had to make a fake one of of paper.
The fun of this game is in the flexibility. My son can set the clock in 15 min. increments, but I don't have him do it if the time is 20 or 25 mins. after, for example, because it's beyond his ability and would be frustrating. However, he's now counting by 5s if he rolls 15 or 30 mins., which is pretty cool for someone not yet in kindergarten.
This is a game that we also played with my daughter when she was 6, and she will play it now (9). It's a fun game that is teaching something very useful and specific. I think it's a lot more fun if the parents can use this game in the way that works best for their kids, instead of following the directions to a t. Definitely recommended.

Learning Resources Breakfast Foods, Set of 16 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Even when this play food is repeatedly bitten, you won't see teeth marks. The food is realistic and very durable. Some of our pieces were even taken into the bathtub, and they dried out easily--no water stuck inside.
