GUJO Adventure STEM Building Kits
Unique construction kits made of foldable, durable plastic with interlocking parts that can be put together and taken a part repeatedly. These feature space ships and lunar rovers.
Cubles are part puzzle, part origami. Follow the instructions to punch out the different pieces from the card, then fold them and insert them together in order to create your own characters. Put together dinosaurs or book characters like Dog Man to create a reading buddy.
Bring school learning home using a Fire Tablet or iPad and the Osmo base. Osmo kits teach kids of all ages and abilities different educational skills they can learn using manipulatives at their own pace. These Osmo math kits reinforce addition, subtraction, measurement and place value for kids ages 6-8, or in grades 1-2.
Ring it On is a fast moving family card game where players pick up and swap cards to create groups of 4 of Disney characters. No reading required, great to promote sorting and matching.
5 Second Rule – Disney Edition
Trivia game focused on Disney movies where you have just 5 seconds to answer questions like name 3 characters from Toy Story. Don’t have time to play a full game, leave just the cards on the counter and play during dinner or a snack break.
Fun, designer napkins that you can receive through a subscription opportunity. Write sweet notes on them and send in the lunchbox back and forth to school!
