Farrar Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Tin Man Press has a few things on sale for Back to School. I've never seen them have a sale that I can remember, so I thought I'd note it for everyone. We've had the Thinkable bundle before and it's good. In general, their materials are really neat. I call them "anti-worksheets" because a lot of them are worksheets but where you have to think outside the box. They have other books that encourage creative or logical thinking through activities and puzzles. My kids are starting to outgrow these, but they really have been lots of fun. https://www.tinmanpress.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tammyw Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Our absolute favorites were: - Drawing Starts. LOVED these... in fact, I may print more sets out again and do them one more time. What made them fun is that all four of us would do them in the evening, including my husband. Funny enough, he would totally get into it, hiding his paper so no one could see his drawing, and taking longer than everyone else, because he "wanted to take his time...". We all laughed a lot with those. - What's That? Also really loved. I might have to get a few for my son for this year. Sadly, my daughter has outgrown them :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got to get them out and use them with youngest daughter! I'm worried she's going to outgrow them before I can use them all....but, they are really fun that I don't think she's outgrow them yet...I know she'll enjoy them a lot (she'll be 11 next month).

Lol! Yes, I just looked, and we have almost all of the 4-6 grade versions, so I think we are done buying them. But honestly, the drawing starts are so brilliant. I would actually like to find MORE of those. I'd buy that in a heartbeat!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 We also really liked Just Write and Drawing Starts. Tammy was the one who told me to try Drawing Starts! The other ones I loved most were Wakeruppers and Gotta Think. Very fun and they had a little of everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~Victoria~ Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 In my pottery class in jr high we had to start each class with a draw start - I loved them! Which books would be good for a first grader boy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 In my pottery class in jr high we had to start each class with a draw start - I loved them! Which books would be good for a first grader boy? Since it's on sale and will be tailored to the right level and has a bunch of different ones, I'd get the first grade Thinkables bundle.
