My son will be starting preschool in the fall but I also wanted to really work on the kindergarten skills all year so I asked to review the Kindergarten level. Right away we opened the package and he started working on his alphabet letters and the string to lace them. Sadly we were bummed because our package did not have the letter "v" but had two "t's." I will be letting them know and I am sure they will make it right! They do have a 365 day guarantee. We also did not get the die/number cube in the kit but I will also let them know. After doing the letter lacing we used the shapes and made the fun pictures. My four year old loved creating the pictures but his little hands pushed the pieces a few times and he

My son with two of his friends had fun learning this game. The game is very simple as the kids each flip over a card and they have to determine who has the greatest number. I also enjoyed working on number identification with them. I could see the game being adapted as it got easier such as making them add two numbers together or finding the least number.
My son won this game so he is eager to play it again!
I have enjoyed both the kit and game so much that I just might need to buy another one to bring to school! :) (Remember I am a special education teacher)
