#KINDERGARTEN 2 GAME CONTENT REVIEW SERIES#

Can You Find Me puzzles are short rhymes, followed by colorful images where the child uses critical thinking and problem-solving skills to solve the riddle and pick the correct answer. We were already familiar with the “Can You Find Me” puzzles as simpler versions are a part of Building Thinking Skills. You can find Visual Perceptual Skill Building 1 here. To avoid this, I would have had to rip out all pages and given them to her in a specific order, which is far too much work! My daughter for one refused to skip over the posttest. While some children are fine with skipping pages that are “in order”, some children struggle with this. One small frustration I have with this workbook is that while it provides a “pretest” page and “posttest” page for each topic, for some reason they have the book formatted to have both tests back to back at the start of each topic, instead of the pretest at the beginning, followed by the work pages, and ending with the posttest. While my daughter at age 5 has done well in the first 1/4 of the book, as I flip to the back, I know it will take some time before she’s ready for those. It starts on the easier side and progresses to more difficult activities. I think it’s important to remember that this workbook is indicated for use for Pre-K to 1st grade. The book continues on to cover subjects like visual closure, figure ground, form constancy, memory, sequential memory, and spatial relationships. While I assumed the black and white would be unappealing to her, it actually turned out that she was excited to color the objects in herself. It begins with mazes, which she happens to really enjoy, followed by visual discrimination matching. However, I must say I was pleasantly surprised by my daughter’s reaction to this book. At first glance, it looks like it would completely bore a child. It’s completely black and white and 185 pages of shapes and letters drawn in boxes.

In my unboxing video, I shared that I wasn’t very excited about the look of Visual Perceptual Skill Building Book 1. The Timberdoodle K Handbook suggests completing All opinions are our own! Visual Perceptual Skill Building 1

Smart Farmer (see our past review here)Ī special thanks to Timberdoodle Company for sponsoring this homeschool series of posts by graciously sending us this complimentary curriculum kit to see what we think.

Four games and three workbooks are included. Timberdoodle’s Kindergarten Elite kit (you can see the whole kit here) has 7 thinking skills elements. Most games build skill levels and grow with the child (isn’t that what every parent wants to hear!). The games we received from the Preschool and Pre-K curriculum kits are still beloved elements of play and learning in our house and likely will be for years to come as many of the games are designed for age ranges such as 3-7 years old. Thinking Skills is truly one of my very favorite parts of Timberdoodle kits.
