We just purchased these off Amazon : http://www.amazon.com/Fat-Brain-FA038-1-Toys-Inchimals/product-reviews/B00392NSI2/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1

I thought I'd share the following review. Not because I think you all should run out and buy these - but because of the mother's attitude. I thought about posting a link to the forum under comments.

4.0 out of 5 stars Learning math without knowing it!, May 13, 2011
By Mommy in Texas (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fat Brain Toys Inchimals (Toy)
We use this for my 4 year old daughter, and she's learning math without knowing it. we're not really following the instructions in the book, as she's slightly too young for doing the real math. She actually kept begging to go through the additions/subtractions in the book but we told her she would have to wait. Note: My daughter isn't usually the self-motivated type when it comes to learning academic stuff...so it's amazing that this game fascinated her so much! We made up games...puppet play, measuring how tall each animal is, stacking them up and trying to make the other animals match the height...etc. She has fun with it!

I wonder how long the child will be motivated if they keep withholding information from her.

The only time when I stymie James' (2) desire for learning is when we have spent an hour reading books and he is doing it to procrastinate going to bed.

It is really sad to see how people are dealing with their kids curiosity.

Anyways! I wanted to share a sweet sentence that my 25 mos said yesterday: "The Atlantic Ocean: two sides are parallel!" What a beautiful conclusion he came up with after looking at the world map! He just was telling me he is ready to learn about plate tectonics    a couple of printouts, lots of crayons and useful YouTube clips kept him busy for the rest of the day

I just wanted to share an overheard conversation that made me think of the moms and kids in here

A man was bragging to his friend about his daughter. He was saying she is a "math genius". He then went on to say she can count to 20 and knows all her shapes. I almost chocked in my drink when he then said she will only be 3 in September.
I am glad he is proud of his daughter. But people truly don't know the potential of little kids. I absolutely love hearing about all the kids in here.it makes me open my eyes more and more each day and offer more things for James to learn.

I would love to hear some things that the Brill kids have been up to that goes beyond the norms.

loved to read all that the kids are doing, my kids are doing great to, reading math, phisicaly, etc, but I do like that the man was sooo happy with his doughter, I think the most important thing I have lernt with Doman is to always be proud of our kids no mater what they know!!!
