School in a Box: pg. 11 Beginning Language Skills: Verbal Expression

This was a great investment.  The directions suggested allowing the children to play with the box for a few minutes before starting the "lessons." While playing independently, the girls automatically began organizing the items into groups by size, color and function.  They loved the memory game where they closed their eyes, I removed two of five items from their pile, and then they opened their eyes and had to state from memory what was missing.  I would definitely recommend School in a Box.  It was fun, interactive and my four year old initiated return demonstration without any prompting! This was so simple yet so effective!

"Remember, boredom is the result of too little too slowly.  Frustration comes from too much too quickly." -Joyce Herzog, School in a Box
