Fantastic product!

I love this. It's just perfect for preparing my 3 year old for kindergarden, as well as fun activities for us to share. The product arrived quickly and in excellent condition. I will definitely purchase more products from them as my child ages.

Best Learning Activity Books Out There!!!!!

November 24, 20095.0
I have probably 20 different activity books in out craft cupboard. My 4yo daughter has always hated doing anything in them because it was to "boring". All of the other books we have are just pretty much tracing letters, numbers, shapes, etc. I love how these Core Knowledge books come with the stickers and cut outs and you can and should also purchase the "What Your Preschooler Needs to Know" book that goes along with them. I also love that these teach writing, history, science and math. None of our other activity books have science or history in them.

My 4yo now loves to have "activity time"!

Fun for All!

We've only had this book for a few weeks, but both, my son and I, love this book. Can't wait to buy book #2.

Great books for Kindergarten prep!

I am a stay home mom who wanted to prepare her child for Kindergarten. A friend let me borrow What Your Preschooler Needs to Know and I loved it. So I had to have a copy of my own for my younger son. I saw the activity books and was hooked! All the books are age appropriate and my sons sing the songs and poems all day as they play! I do suggest getting all three books because it flows a little easier.

What your preschooler needs to know Activity Book 1 & 2

My 3.5 yr. old daughter LOVES these books. Each activity book is outlined to be done in 10 weeks. My daughter did one of them in just 5. Everyday after dinner she looks forward to "play with stickers."

These books are designed so you can interact with your toddler. They can place stickers in the appropriate boxes or put cards in a sequential order after reading a story (from the What Your Preschooler Needs to Know book). The other thing that I liked is that the book gives you ideas of what you can do with your child outside of the book. For example, making gingerbread man cookies after reading the Gingerbread Man story. The books also introduce Science concepts in the early weeks and add onto them as the weeks go along. For example, with the human body, in the beginning the book introduced facial features and in following weeks they did other parts of the body like legs, arms and even introduced ankle and wrist. I was really impressed with introducing preschool children to important monuments, like location of the Great Wall of China, and even Presidents (besides Abe and George). I highly recommend these books and I intend to continue with this curricula when I begin to officially homeschool my children.
