    Beginning Thinking Skills Review by Homeschool Gameschool

    review by Homeschool Gameschool

    ”Activities are brightly colored, organized, and sequenced in small sections that are perfect for young minds. Preschoolers aren’t designed to sit still and do written work, and with this book they aren’t expected to.”

    Intro to Critical Thinking

    This book goes through shapes and colors and simple logic. The logic is a bit hard for 2 year olds, in my experience, but they like the shapes and colors parts. Once they hit 3 they are much better at it. This book has pictures of cookies in it which is always exciting.

    Helpful

    We have enjoyed this book for my preschooler. She prefers the Gakken workbooks over this, but this is still a great supplement and gives me a guide for concepts I should be teaching her.

    Fits nicely with other weekly materials!

    This book coincides perfectly with the weeks materials if followed by Timberdoodles schedule. Gets exhausting not because of content but because of the colors used on the pages.
