Lovedtodeath Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I have seen raves but I don't know what specific timberdoodle product is being raved about or why. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0mmaBuck Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I wonder if it's just their core in general: http://www.timberdoodle.com/Complete_Homeschool_Curriculum_Preschool_p/999-0000.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovedtodeath Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 Well I would hope for that price it would get raves.:eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma H Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 It is kind of expensive but it really is a fun curriculum. My little kids love it and it is really easy to implement. It is a lot of fun for them and is well rounded :001_smile:. Stacey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aquiverfull Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 It looks to me like several products just put together. Is there a schedule to go along with it? The products look great, but if there is no schedule than you can just put this stuff together yourself and maybe for less money. We have the Wedgit blocks. They are a HUGE hit around here, even for my 11 year old. Hey, my husband and I enjoy playing with them too. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbmom Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Wedgit blocks are a HUGE hit with my preschooler. If that price is a full year worth of preschool curriculum I don't think it's too expensive-you would pay at least that for one month of preschool.

Momma H Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 There is sort of a schedule. They give a suggested pace and you fill out a cute form they give you with what you will do. I really found that with my preschoolers they don't really want to do it on a regular basis so I just look for times when it seems like a fun thing to do and we do as much as they want to. Really seems to work for us. Yes, the wedgits are wonderful and any day I do the fun science is a good day at our house.:lol: Stacey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovedtodeath Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 (edited) Hmmm... I am still feeling like I am missing specifics. So what does a typical timberdoodle preschool day look like? I will tell you the main reason I am looking at it... I love the looks of MFW K and Winterpromise I'm Ready to Learn... but I want something that comes with everything... I do not want to find my own paper plates, construction paper, etc. I am lazy. I also do not want to use preschool for phonics/reading because I plan to use PR. So... should I keep looking at it?

Lovedtodeath Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 (edited) Thanks for the lovely quote. lol I am fairly certain that I don't want the whole package. Is there a certain product that is a not miss? Edited March 18, 2010 by Lovedtodeath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aquiverfull Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Well all I have are the wedgits. We love them. The brain box looks cool as does that fun science kit. Hmmm it'd be hard to pick just one. I know I've seen samples of the Mathematical Reasoning online somewhere. Maybe you can find them and give it a closer look. I can't remember where I saw the samples but you could look at several pages. It may have been the publishers website, christianbook or RR. Have you looked at http://www.lakeshorelearning.com They have a lot of fun things that would be great for Pre K and K? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skueppers Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 (edited) I don't know anything about their curriculum packages, but I'm thrilled to see that they offer a fairly extensive line of mini LUK- I've been hesitating to order them from overseas due to the cost. So thanks for the pointer! I can say that I highly recommend the Bambino LUK products they sell.

They are one of our favorite companies to order from!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EthiopianFood Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 :iagree: mini LUK and Bambino LUK are HITS here . . . . They don't get bored with them after doing them a few times? It seems like so much money for only 11 puzzles. :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EthiopianFood Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Thanks for the lovely quote. lol It just makes me feel better if I'm not the only one. :001_smile: FYI, I really am following this thread for it's original purpose. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovedtodeath Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 I am thinking that I will be best served, at this point, by getting some of those I CAN books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out The Learning Box Preschool - we have LOVED it!! It is a full preschool, but is especially strong in the arts/projects area, and everything except crayons, glue, & scissors comes with it. It is all precut and ready to go. You get a box each month, and a comb-bound "teacher's guide". Open to Day 1, pull out the Day 1 pack of materials and go. 100% complete (from pledge of allegiance to learning letters to handwriting to math to thinking to art skills), tons of fun, and EASY to implement. I can't say enough good things about it! My kids LOVE to "do school". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
