Preschool Genius is a set of dry-erase activities and games with a genius twist, that includes a learning enhancement guide for parents. The set has beautifully illustrated activities that cover core learning outcomes as well as offering challenges like code-breaking and mapmaking that stimulate open-ended problem solving and creativity. Parents love the learning guide because the questions add a deeper engagement with the mats, and between the parent/caregiver and child.
Evaluation comments:
“I love that these mats teach the basics, alphabet, counting, etc., but there are also activities that check in on her emotions and asks her to reflect on how she’s feeling, what makes her happy, sad, etc.”
“These are really useful activity that is engaging and educational. I haven’t seen mats like these with quite so many activities all packaged together.”
“These activity mats arrive in a cardboard box that you open with a pull tab like you would open a box of cereal. I think that’s really clever and fun, and it’s nice to have the little tab and slit to close the package back up when you need to store the contents. The outside of the box highlights the core concepts covered by the activity mats such as alphabet tracing, counting, and games. It looks like fun, and my daughter and I were excited to open it up.”
“The mats are two sided and work on concepts such as literacy (alphabet tracing, letter sounds and blends), math (counting to 50, addition and subtractions), social/emotional (emotions identification and awareness) and more. The games and activities are developmentally appropriate for preschoolers and fun to do. There is an explanation (learning enhancement guide) for each mat with ways to expand the learning. The product is well made and should last a long time.”
“I love that this product can be used by multiple children in a family or in a preschool classroom. I like the activities and the concepts that they are teaching and think children will enjoy them and learn the concepts with repeated use.”
