I bought this for my granddaughter who is three and already knows some letters and their sounds. She was very pleased with it as she likes to learn and plays with it quite often.

fantastic product!!, 2010-01-06
This was absolutely spot on as a gift for my young niece. As it is Play Doh I knew the quality would be great, but what really appeals about this item is that it is such good value for money with a choice of colours in decent size pots. Excellent purchase if you just want top up Play Doh and not all the tools and cutters.

Great fun, 2010-02-16
My 2 1/2 year was given this game for christmas and we play it constantly. She the loves the brightly coloured dinosaurs. She had been struggling with sharing anything but threw playing the game has discovered sharing and taking turns can be fun. She likes both games but the shape game is the favourite. I think the age 3-6 might be a bit young as is more appropriate to the young end of this age range.

Great supplemental learning tool, 2010-01-04
I bought this as a supplement to my esl classes. I had bought the Math BrainBox first, but found it a bit too specialized. The World Brain Box is wonderful. The cards are very durable, full of colors, the pictures are well done and the captions very clear. The box itself is very inviting and my students can't wait to finish the main part of the lesson so that they can play and there are really interesting facts about each country that intrigue them. The ten seconds that the game allows to 'memorize' as many of the facts on the cards as possible is pretty dauting, but I just turn over the timer a couple of times so that they can absorb more. In any case, they improve quickly as they get the nack of the game. It's a different way to work on their comprehension as they have to listen carefully to the questions I ask. With the younger ones I'll ask questions I'm pretty sure they can answer and leave out the more difficult ones, with the older ones, they get whichever question the dice calls for!
I'm really pleased with the addition. I've used it for all of my students, which means from 9-year-olds to adults. With the adults I let them read the questions themselves so it's not so much a test but a way to learn that's less intimidating. Once you go through all the cards it's probably time to move on to something else, but there are a lot of cards and if you have a lot of students, or your children are perfectionists and like to repeat them, it's a very worthwhile investment.

Brilliant product, 2010-02-16
Excellent toy for one to two year olds, although my grandchildren have played with them from six months on and even the three year old still gets them out of the toybox. Sturdy and well-designed, there are multiple play opportunities within this toy and it grows with the child, as someone else has already commented. My son and daughter-in-law were so impressed with them, they bought a set for our oldest grandson to have at home. All in all, a very good buy.
