Product Description:

Add-It-Up! Archery Set

Value: $59.99

Take aim at addition! Sized just right for children, our super-safe archery set lets kids shoot for a bull’s-eye…as they practice math! Children just use a flexible plastic bow to shoot safe, suction-cup arrows at the target—adding up the numbers as they play! Includes 4 arrows, plus a bow, quiver, target and stand. Measures 19 3/4" x 38 1/2" tall.

My Review:
Math has hit a new level of fun! This new suction cup archery set will encourage addition or any other math number work is going to make math fun! My kids were eager when I opened up the shipping box and they saw the archery set. They were ready to get started but first some rules and teaching them how to use it had to be done. We set the archery up right in the living room. We made sure that every one had to be behind the person shooting the arrow. We discussed safety a lot even though the suction cup arrow is not going to really hurt.

The archery set is fun and the board is very strong. We did bend an arrow because we set the number board up against a wall so when we missed the bard it hit the wall and it did start to bend a little. I would recommend putting the target out where nothing is behind it and it can just fly till it stops rather then hitting a wall.

My kids aged 4 and 8 did take several turns to learn how to shoot the arrow the appropriate way. They even showed some frustrations and wanted to give up but with some encouragement they were able to learn how to do it and now do it independently. I am enjoying all the adding that can occur with this game. The practice is always needed but some new creative games can occur such as greater then and less then, odd and even aiming, team adding and so many others. We love our new archery set and you will too!

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in The Reading Game learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender. It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long. It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words. These are broken down into six sets of five words. The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game. Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory. Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not). Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Packing for your first ski trip

Pexels - CCO Licence So, you're gearing up for your first ski trip and the excitement is as thick as the snow you're about to conquer. But before you can show off those freshly learned pizza and French fry stops, you’ve got to pack. Packing for a ski trip can feel like preparing for a chilly expedition to the North Pole, but fear not! With these nifty tips, you'll be ready to hit the slopes in style and comfort. 1. Layer Like a Lasagna Think of your ski outfit as a gourmet lasagna: each layer is crucial. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer (yes, that includes thermal underwear) to keep you dry and snug. Over that, layer a warm and breathable mid-layer—think fleece or a wool sweater that can handle the chill. Top it all off with a waterproof and windproof jacket and pants. Remember, it's all about layers that you can add or peel off because sweating while you ski is less fun than a snowball in the face. 2. Keep Those Fingers Cosy Cold hands can ruin a...
