Evaluation comments:
“These workbooks are filled with educational games and activities to teach young children about alphabet and number concepts. All the workbooks support developmental growth in fine motor, cognitive and language skills. They also help the very young learner remain focused on an activity–a skill that is a must once they go to Kindergarten and beyond.”
“These workbooks are well made and full of fun and educational activities to keep your preschooler busy (maybe while their older sibling is learning virtually or doing homework.”
“I think the whole family would enjoy doing the activities with their 2-4 years old. This would be great to have at the grandparents’ house.”
“Reward stickers are a fun way to encourage the children to finish the pages, but the activities themselves are fun and engaging too. The stickers are an extra fun bonus.”
