As a homeschooling mother, and as a mom who is interested in her children’s education, I am always looking for good fun ways to teach my little ones the ABC’s, letter recognition, letter sounds, etc. Thus far, my favorite way to do that is with Dr. Suess’ ABC’s book. Seriously love that book! However, it really needs to be used in combination with something else. Well, Grandma’s Trunk by Educational Insights is a PERFECT fit!
I love it and my 3 year old loves it! It comes with 26 alphabet picture cards, 26 alphabet riddle cards. The game, which is really 5 games in 1 provides young children with a fun way to practice letter names and sounds, build memory skills, create stories, and play fun riddle games. The game is recommended for Kindergarten+, but if my 3 year old understood and enjoyed it, yours might too.
Here is a bit more about each of the 5 ways to play:
1. What Comes Next? Take turns placing the letter cards in the trunk in alphabetical order.
2. Memory Time Take turns repeating the sequence of cards already in the trunk, then adding one of your own and challenging other players to remember them all, in order.
3. Grandma’s Riddles Deal the cards, then read a riddle and race to see who has the letter card that answers it!
4. Letter Sequence Memory Deal the cards and take turns putting them in the trunk in alphabetical order, repeating the items already in the trunk and challenging other players to remember them all, in alphabetical order.
5. Grandma’s Adventures Place the letter cards in the trunk and take turns pulling them out to create a cooperative story: “Once upon a time there was a grandma. She saw an iguana.”
I was so proud of my then 2 year old, when she got the answer to almost all 26 riddles. She is constantly asking me or her big brothers to play Grandma’s Trunk with her.
A wonderful, fun way to help your young one learn their letters. As an extra bonus Educational Insights has once again produced a quality product that can withstand the preschooler it was made for.
