Believing that learning begins at home, Gakken Play Smart Workbooks, through a series of developmentally appropriate steps, steadily improve your tiny child’s ability to reason, make decisions, and concentrate. Mazes teach decision-making and early handwriting skills; counting introduces children to grouping, differentiation, associating numerals with quantities, and more; drawing and coloring build pencil control and introduce beginning handwriting; cutting and pasting teach matching, creative thinking, and develop fine motor skills.
Gakken Play Smart Workbooks include helpful notes to parents on nearly every page, a wipe-clean activity board, and reward stickers to motivate your youngest scholars. Light-hearted and frustration-free, with more than 30 years of psychological research that incorporates developmentally appropriate and proven learning methods in each activity, Gakken Play Smart Workbooks are the quintessence of everything we were looking for in preschool and pre-k workbooks.
