I’m so excited for today! I have the pleasure of reviewing and doing a giveaway for a wonderful blogger buddy Mama Jenn! She’s always so brilliant so it’s no surprise that she came up with an idea called Education Cubes.
Education Cubes are fun educational printable cards that are to be used with Stack-N-Smile Photo blocks. Mama Jenn has created cards for just about any subject you can ask for! What I love most about the Education Cubes is that they’re fun! All my kiddos loved these and seriously, if learning can be this much fun count me in!
So far she has the following available:
- Early Learning: Alphabet, Calendar, Colors, (Numbers & Shapes coming soon)
- Language Arts: Alphabet, Dolch Site Words, Word Families (SWR Spelling coming soon)
- Math: Addition, Subtraction, Measurement, Numbers, Ordinal & Roman Numerals, (Multiplication, Division and Shapes are coming soon)
- Science: Earth Science (Biology & Chemistry coming soon)
- Geography: US Geography, US History (World Geography & World History coming soon)
- Electives: Bible & Spanish
- Misc: Christmas
She was even nice enough to create a set of them for my Letter of the Week curriculum!
My daughter had so much fun rolling the cubes then saying the letter that each picture started out with, it was a great way to review letter sounds.
Even the Teeny Tot loved these cubes! She stacked them and knocked them down mostly, but still, fun was had by all.
Funny how when you bring something fun out the big kids start to gather around. I stuck some of Mama Jenn’s math printables in the cubes and let them roll away! They loved practicing their math facts this way! Why didn’t I think of this?
She currently has addition, subtraction, measurement, Numbers, Ordinal & Roman Numerals and is working on multiplication, division and shapes.
I really have to say that this was a brilliant idea on her part, and I look forward to putting our new Education Cubes workbox card she made for me in our boxes!
