Zillio?

[HollyBee]

I was reading about Zillio in the latest homeschooling post on the Pioneer Woman's website. It looks really interesting and fun, but it's really pricey. Does anyone have any experience with this? I'd like to get feedback from other actual users before even contemplating scrounging up the funds for it.

 

Thanks!

I bought the extra large one at our homeschool convention for half price (floor model). My kids have played w/it a bit, but I haven't actually taken the time to explore it. I know I'm not much help, but wanted to give you a bump. You might find more help on the Zillio website.

I bought the XL one and returned it after a few weeks. It is a wonderful learning tool, but my kids already knew all their facts and the games for upper levels were a little too boring for just us. I really think in a co-op or group environment it could be a great tool, or for those just starting out with pre-k/k, but for my 2 boys, not so much fun. I probably would have kept it if they were younger and just beginning 'school'. Hope this helps!:)

This does help. It looks really neat, but my kids are older, too. It's good to hear about your experience before committing that much moolah. I'll probably stick to what we've got.

 

Thanks!
