Slache Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I'm ordering the Preschool package on fairy tales and want to know if I should get anything else. Is MathTacular nifty? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kolamum Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I can't say, for that exact level, but we've really enjoyed the Timeline pieces because they are nifty stickers. My kids loved the science videos. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeAndTheBoys Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I spent a ton of money on mathtacular videos, and I thought they were a total waste of time and money. The pattern block set, on the other hand, has been used regularly for 10 years. And it's great to take to co-op classes and such--the kids love it.

wintermom Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 We love the Classical Kids Collection CDs. There are 2 sets, with titles like, "Beethoven Lives Upstairs" and "Bach come to Call." My dc have been listening to them since they were pre-school age and still enjoy the stories and music. Over the years I've invested in various math manipulatives and extras, some from SL and some from other places. Fraction tiles, junior balance, counting plastic animals, clock face, 3-D geometric shapes, math-U-see manipulatives have all come in very handy over the years and we still pull them out frequently.

Aurelia Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 We did like the MathTacular videos for that age. DD has always really liked videos, though. She also loved the science videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAM Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 My kids love Mathtacular, it is always the first thing on the list they want to do. Also the bear mix and match game is definitely worth it, dd stil adores it at age six. Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyoustxmama Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I'll add my vote for mathtacular, we loved it. Or to be accurate, it drives DH and I nuts, BUT ds loves it, which is what counts. The science DVDs are great especially if you are too busy to do experiments. Ds likes those too. If we are having a rough day I can be assured he will cheerfully watch either one. I like the Come look with me art appreciation books. But tbh ds doesn't much. But he's not that into art. I also like the colorix crayon-pastels they sell; you can get them elsewhere but SL is where I first heard of them. Every kid who comes over wants to use those and won't touch regular crayons if the Colorix are out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
