Melissa & Doug Smarty Pants Kindergarten Card Set - 120 Educational, Brain-Building Questions, Puzzles, and Games

My kiddo loves these and I DO TOO! They help my husband and I teach our son, who just turned 5, tons of skills that we wouldn't have thought to approach in these clever ways before. After just two days of playing these, he understands addition and subtraction and for bigger numbers, he'll ask "let me count on your fingers too". Such a huge change from last week when he wouldn't have understood addition or subtraction at all. I'm so proud of him. He's learned all sorts of things from these cards; patterns, directions (North-East-South-West), increased observational skills, and simple math like I already mentioned. They're a fun set of cards, I wish I had known about these when he was preschool age. I have every intention of using the whole series with my next child :)

These cards are a fun way to practice all kinds of skills and are great preparation for kindergarten. Questions develop skills in analysis, visual discrimination, and deductive reasoning - all on a kindergartener’s level. It’s a fun way to start or end the day, and these cards build confidence. The cards can be used again and again. I would love it if Melissa & Doug would offer supplemental cards for each age level!

Bought these last year for my 5yr old for Xmas. There's a lot he could do and a lot he's still learning so it is still something we still play with now. He's in K now and there still some concepts he's not familiar with but each time he gets a card right his confidence soars. He pulls them out himself to do, so easy way to keep their mind active!

Other than about 4 questions being a little too hard for my kids these are perfect. Well made, sturdy, fun way to teach

Melissa and Doug Smarty Pants Questions for kids I loved giving this Melissa and Doug smarty-pants gift. I gave it to my grandchildren. Great questions on every topic. Age-appropriate. A great way to get them off their iPads or away from the TV and learn something. Fun also to use on car trips.

My granddaughter loves doing this fun card game. These cards are very accurate for what a kindergarten should know. I stared out with the pre K. I do this in the summer time with my granddaughter after she completes the school year. Highly recommended.

I love using these with my daughter at the dinner table or before bedtime. The variety of topics is great. The cards ask questions relating to letters, numbers, phonemic awareness, and science. There are tidbits of information to increase your child's vocabulary and spark interesting discussions.

I like the concept, but the cards are so hard to keep together. They need to be blind together in some way like the Brainquest sets. The lod doesn’t stay on the box well and I am constantly picking these up. The concepts themselves can also be a bit more challenging. I think it is a better set for late preschool/TK than for kindergarten.

Such a great little game to keep kids minds at attention. Questions are pretty spot on for the age group I purchased for.

My grandson finds this card set very good and challenging, keeps him interested and he is learning a lot

Gift for my great niece, and am pleased with the age appropriate questions and learning these cards will provide.

Very helpful!

love Melissa and Doug. games are great. only thing I'd change is how the cards are contained... very hard to keep neat and tide
