This is a great game set for anyone but really it will serve a class room or day care type setting the best. The games are educational and easy to follow. What is nice, is that you have different versions of each game. The boards are well made and everything stays nice and organized. The games tend to be fairly quick so that is why a classroom setting would work well for these games.

I am a K-3 reading tutor at an elementary school, so I thought I'd try these for my kindergarteners and ESL students.My kindergarten granddaughter loved it so much that she asked to keep one at home!The boards are colorful, well-designed, versatile, stack nicely, come with great accessories, and the games are fun.I have other kits similar to this one, but none come with a cool spinner or game pieces. This really impressed me, and the kids love it!This is great for individual or shared play.

As a school librarian, I work with Hand2Mind products quite often. We purchase math manipulatives, coding robots, and all sorts of fun learning tools and materials. I bought this educational game set for my little one. The quality is great. The boards are heavy and sturdy and will last a very long time. There are many small pieces, so cleanup takes a bit, but there is a great value in these games, and we'll be playing them for a long time.

I love these game trays! I got these 2 days ago and I’ve already used them in my classroom. My PreK Pals loved them, especially the Pip the Pup game pieces!The trays have a clear top that protects the game boards and allows all game supplies to be stored inside. You can also wipe the tops off which is extremely important when you are teaching in Early Childhood classrooms. I am going to be using these all the time!

I’m trying to reinforce basic phonics and sight words to my 3 year old. This set is pretty nice and portable and 6 different kids can play it together. These are very basic and the only issue is that they are limited in that after a few rounds, it’s too easy for some. I do like how it is stackable, which makes it easy for storage, and I just end up adding different things because the different dice, spinner, and dogs are nice to have.

Better than we expected! These are boards for games, that come with storage. The pieces work across the different games and different tops contain different games. The storage component alone, makes them great for travel, but with a customizable aspect that will keep your kids busy and curious. One of the things I love about these, is that they seem to encourage kids to make up their own games, bolstering creativity and building working toolsets such as rule making, creating fairness, understanding cause and effect. The boards themselves are heavy wood or cardboard, but pretty sturdy and the cases are sturdy plastic. You could easily extend the value by adding other game pieces, creating your own game boards or anything you can dream up.

This is a fantastic set of 6 trays, different colors that are perfect at home and in the classroom. Each tray comes with a clear plastic top along with game boards (front and back) and then underneath the game board(s) the tray has compartments for storing their individual items. The first couple of trays in the box have the items that can be distributed to the remaining trays but what is great is that these trays can hold more than just these items. We actually put some additional supplies in them (crayons, markers, stickers, and stencils) so these trays are just great to start with. The kids can just easily get their tray and sit in their spot and get to playing, drawing, or artwork with their individual tray kit.The trays are very well made and the overall kit is just good quality. The game boards are laminated and also very colorful. They provided instructions on the games as well.This is great for homeschooling, classroom, or even if you have one or two kids. I don't have 6 that I am working with but I have 2. So I will change up the trays for different activities inside them and so far the kids love the idea and are enjoying them immensely. This has made some of these projects and learning a little bit more interesting.
