Neige Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 My son loves logic/puzzle books, but does not have good handwriting skills. I'm trying to do more hands-on activities with him and to "go broad" but he really loves working through things like CTC's Mathematical Reasoning and Building Thinking Skills, and Lollipop Logic. He's blasted through a few levels of each and I'm looking to diversify our collection, both to add interest/challenge and to slow him down somewhat (he's 3). Thanks!

desertflower Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 The critical thinking co. also has other books that we like. For example, Mindbenders and balance benders, and math analogies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexi Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 My kids like Logic Safari and Logic Liftoff. Those are series by Prufrock. Mindware also has workbooks that are logic based. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
