Momma H Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 (edited) My 3 and 5 year olds LOVE the Building Thinking Skills and the Mathematical Reasoning by that company but, $34.00?! I know they are giong to whip through them and I will have to move them up to the next level but they are SO expensive and there are 2 of them! Thats like almost $150 for 2 subjects:tongue_smilie:. Anyone find anything cheaper that are like those? Edited September 30, 2010 by Momma H spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissKNG Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 (edited) Have you checked Rainbow Resources? Or amazon? ETA: We like Prufrock too! Edited September 30, 2010 by MissKNG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandra Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Try the Prufrock Press website http://www.prufrock.com/ Click on Thinking Skills (at the left of the homepage) We love the Dandy Lion books -- RR and Amazon both have many Prufrock Press books -- at a discount of course. Once we discovered these, we never wnet back to Critical $$$ Thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazakaal Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I use Building Thinking Skills, but do it orally with my kids so one book lasts for all 4 kids. There are a few activities where the student is supposed to draw a figure on a dot-grid. For those activities, I just draw a dot-grid on a separate piece of paper for dc to draw on.

Mallory Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 We also do some orally or use page protectors and dry erase markers or crayons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a really good idea! I wish I would have thought of that before I had my ds write in his. :) I have the Level 1 book and I thought it was spendy too. We're only doing 1 page per day so it'll last two years, but still.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saille Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I like Prufrock better in a lot of cases. Plus the CTP reps at the last conference I went to were kind of snippy with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
