Description
“This is by far one of our favorite resources to use with our pre-K homeschooler. Not only is it educational, but it also sparks her creativity. She always ends up creating her own structures after following the cards. I also love that the difficulty increases incrementally, so she can feel successful instead of frustrated. Great product.” – Firefly and Fairy
“Loved this and so did my kids! I showed the card through Zoom and we created together. We talked about how many sides.” – Shelly Y.
“I bagged up gumdrops and toothpicks and distributed them to my kids during a packet pickup at school. I placed the model cards in out google classroom and the kids built to their hearts’ content during asynchronous learning time as an ending to our shapes unit. They loved it!” – Micheal D.
“I used these for my formal observation activity, it was such a success! Students loved building the structures and it provided a visual for students that needed differentiation. Thank you! ” – Mrs. Knez Teaches Third
