Green Bean Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) I'm looking for something fun and light for Little Man (6 yrs and 10 mo) to do while is older siblings are working through their stuff (Reasoning and Reading). I've looked at: EPS Bks Primary Analogies series Lollipop Logic- 2 editions are out. What the difference? Other ideas along these veins that would slide nicely into R&R in a couple years?

Clemsondana Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 The Critical Thinking Company has some good puzzle books - Mind Benders and Balance Benders come to mind but there are probably others. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 IIRC, Lollipop Logic was a single book when my kids were little. But then they redid it to have multiple books with different levels that looked a lot better. They started coming out when my kids were just a smidge too old, I think. So I think you want the more recent? The other things from Prufrock Press were things we enjoyed more than Critical Thinking Company. But Prufrock was bought out so I'm not totally sure what they have now. We liked the Logic Safari books. All grid puzzles, but geared toward kids. We also liked Tin Man Press. Several of their things were really good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cintinative Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 We also liked the Prufrock Press books. We used Logic Safari and the space themed books (in middle school). Also Perplexors in middle school. We did also use Reasoning and Reading. There is a beginning Reasoning and Reading book--I can't remember the age level though? I remember there were three levels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farrar Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 What @cintinative said. We really liked that Blastoff series. Short but really good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
