My Review: We LOVE our Fractions Formula Game! Even though the ages are for 8 and up my 4 and 6 year olds loved to play! This is a great game not only for teaching fractions but for matching the cards to the fraction readers and hand eye coordination for littler children. This game is my family's favorite game to sit and play together! Sems Pens take me back to when I was a child in the 80' and they had smelly markers. I like how each Sems Pen is individually wrapped in it's own container and how it's made of recycled materials. What a fun way to write with the nice fragarant aroma's! My favorite is Carmel Corn! The GeoSafari Tuff Scope is perfect for learning at home and on the go, with it's removable Tuff Scope portion to take outside and learning about nature upclose. As a homeschool family we do quite a bit of nature studies, The Tuff Scope fits perfectly in our travel size nature bag! Everyday Uses Rock and Card Set is a great way to learn with it's interesting facts and everyday uses this rocks bring to our world!
