Mama Geek Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Dd is well on her way to working 70-100 piece jigsaw puzzles. I am looking for some other fun ideas for logic activities, what are your favorites. She is 3, but stretching to a little older is good too.

LaCEmom Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Board games are great for logic at that age: Connect Four Guess Who? Clever Castle What's in the Cat's Hat? Tic Tac Toe And I'm sure there are lots more, but I'm drawing a blank. And even if you don't have all those games you could probably read the instructions online somewhere and come up with ways to work on the same skills. Tangrams- You could cut pieces out of foam, and I'm sure find some free puzzles to print online. Work on patterns with objects from around the house Legos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vickjul Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 At 4, my daughter loved logic games such as http://www.amazon.com/FoxMind-5512643-Zoologic/dp/B000PHQGJC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1374420105&sr=8-1&keywords=zoologic and http://www.amazon.com/SmartGames-SG-011-Camelot-Jr/dp/B004TGPQDW/ref=pd_sim_t_4 . We started using http://www.amazon.com/MightyMind-Regular-Edition-Mighty-Mind/dp/B00000K3XI/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1374420165&sr=1-1&keywords=mighty+mind and http://www.amazon.com/MindWare-44204W-Imaginets/dp/B0037Z8DEK/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1374420202&sr=1-1&keywords=imaginets at 3, and both are still favorites now that she's 5. Construction toys -- especially Magnatiles, Wedgits (plus design cards), and Kid K'nex -- can keep her entertained for hours. http://www.amazon.com/Popular-Playthings-Magnetic-Match-Rings/dp/B001FXLT1U/ref=pd_sim_t_36 has also been a favorite. On the book front, she loves both http://www.amazon.com/Can-You-Find-Me-Building/dp/0894557947/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1374420504&sr=8-1&keywords=can+you+find+me books and http://www.amazon.com/Mind-Benders-Deductive-Thinking-Skills/dp/0894558722/ref=sr_1_5?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1374420527&sr=1-5&keywords=mind+benders from The Critical Thinking Company. I've actually had to limit her to no more than 5 puzzles a day to stretch the activities out, and even at that, we've gone through each of these books several times over.

nature girl Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 All Thinkfun games are great! We love Rush Hour Jr. and Trucky 3. My DD (3 as well) has also had a lot of fun with Mighty Mind, and these pattern blocks: http://www.amazon.com/MindWare-25105W-Pattern-Play/dp/B000WWJ5SO/ref=sr_1_16?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1378417957&sr=1-16&keywords=pattern+block Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nature girl Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 This is another favorite.
