Educational Insights FunThinkers Book 1 (Ages 4-6/Gr. Pre-K-1)

Product Description

Self-checking learning centers grades pre-k and up. These self-checking "Big Book" activities allow children to develop reading, math, and thinking skills as they work independently. Each laminated book contains 45 exciting games?a total of more than 700 challenging questions and 45 fun follow-up activities. Match Frame and color-coded tiles (sold separately) work with all three books. (Ages 4-6 / Grades PreK-1)

I purchased this item thinking it would be a good learning activity that would benefit my kindergardener. It does interest a visual learner because it uses color coded number tiles and pictures, plus it doesn't require the ability to write. However, it was very confusing overall. The numbered tiles have to be matched to the corresponding answer on the opposite side of the page, which can become confusing if the answer is a number (example, if problem #1 is to find the missing number between 4 and 6, then on the opposite side of the page, you put the #1 tile on the answer 5.) Now that my son is 8, he is interested and able to complete all of the activities in the book (which is supposed to be for children 4-6 years old.) In addition, we had to purchase an additional tile set because once a tile is missing, you can no longer complete the activity. Another aspect of the activity is the self checking that can be done using the color pattern created once the child has completed the task. Unfortunately if your child is easily discouraged or hates to be wrong, this can be a deterrent to his trying to complete the tasks independently. If I had the opportunity to do it over again, I wouldn't.

GeoSafari Laptop Card Set - Ages 8 & Up

Product Description

Keep the fun going for your geosafari Laptop. Expand your learning adventures with 63 two-sided cards, giving advanced students more than 126 brain-building lessons. For use with geosafari Laptop, sold separately.

After reading the disappointment of the 1 star reviewer I checked on another website selling this product and this is what they said: "The lessons here are for children ages 8 and up. With this expansion pack you can expand your ages 3-7 edition Geosafari Laptop!"

It is confusing as Geosafari sells two laptops and this expansion pack appears to be for the 3-7 yr old machine, expanding the younger version to the older age group.

Buyer beware.


This was advertised as a supplemental kit, one for the geosafari laptop.
But it is the same exact card set as the one that comes with the unit, though neither product gave that information. Not only was it unneeded, but I'm not sure I would have bought the geo safari laptop if I had known there were only the cards that came with it available. Now I'm out the shipping costs and had to give a present only half as good as I thought. Instead of 126 cards, I only have 63 usable ones.
And some of the cards (ages 8 and up) could have easily been answered by a 4 yr old. The endangered animal card is just one example - pick the tiger? Please!
A very unhappy customer, esp as it's my first time buying from Amazon. Doubt I'm coming back, nor would I recommend it to anyone.

The toy is fine, however the seller is NOT. I ordered two lap tops and needed to return one. I have emailed and called because THEY WILL NOT LET YOU RETURN AN ITEM WITHOUT A RETURN NUMBER. After two weeks, I still have not received a response. They also have a policy that items cannot be returned after thirty days. . . no wonder they take their time responding. I will NEVER buy from toy soup again.
