bambinoLUK Brain Training Early Bloomer Collection Set 3

I am a former educator, and now a grandparent babysitting 2 small kids under 4. 20 years ago we purchased the think it through Discovery Toys, and I was looking for more of that series. I ran into this Bambino product from Germany, and found it to be VASTLY superior to those orginial products.The tile box is huge, and just perfect for little people. It is well made, and the kids just love using the large easy to understand symbols for setting the game. The matching books line up the tile plastic track simply and easily. Kids can do this without supervision, once they understand the concept.I leave this "game" on the table, page at a time, and our little "students" come back to it throughout the day, trying another page that I turn the next page. (teachers don't like skipping, but kids can skip to anything they find of interst in the book.(s) The 3 year old can see the matching pattern for the answer, and completely gets how it is correct or incorrect.It is simply a puzzle game, with fantastic critical and mathematical thinking skills,and problem solving! They are very curious about what is on the next page! It is immediately rewarding and fosters feelings of success.I give this company, and this entire series and Outstanding mark. I liked it so much, I bought the entire set, plus even the next level for school age first grade and up. That whole set too, mind you.Once in a great while there is a fine product out there, with no bells and whistles. Just quiet thinking.I love that about this "toy"!

Good

My 2 1/2 year old son loves to play with the set. He enjoys putting the tiles and finding out he is answing the questions ALL right by SELF-checking the " answer key color dots". He is learing so much and building self-confidence. Great buy!!!
