GIVE THE GIFT OF LEARNING: Whether youre shopping for holidays, birthdays, or just because, toys from Learning Resources help you discover new learning fun every time you give a gift! Ideal gift for Halloween, Christmas, Stocking Stuffers, Easter or even for Homeschool.
Learning Resources Swat a Sight Words Game is a toy that works well in a preschool classroom, and it's also fun enough for kids to play with at home. The Sight Word Swat Game includes 110 double-sided flies, printed with the top 220 Dolch sight words, which are a selection of words found most frequently in childrens books. The sight-word flies are color-coded by level, red and blue for pre-primer, red for primer, green for first grade, orange for second grade, and purple for third grade, and have corresponding swatters that are color-coded by level as well: blue for pre-primer, red for primer, green for first grade, orange for second grade, and purple for third grade. After one of the 220 Dolch sight words is called out, use your swatter to swat the word on the matching fly. The game comes with four swatters and a game board, so kids can play alone or with friends. The sight-word flies are sturdy enough for adults to play with, but the swatters, which are a small plastic disc with a handle, are slightly flimsy, so younger players might struggle to use them. And, while the sight-word flies are color-coded by level, the swatters only show the level written on the discs, with no color coding, so it's a little confusing to know what level your swatter belongs to. Still, the game is fun, and it includes enough swatters so that multiple players can play. Also, the game board has space for recording the number of swatted words, so parents can keep track of their kids' progress. The Sight Word Swat Game is a fun, sturdy toy that works well in a preschool classroom.

Learning Resources Pizza Fun Fraction Game
Winner of 2 awards, Ideal for ages 6+
This fraction game by Learning Resources is a fun way for kids to learn about fractions, and it's ideal for preschoolers and kindergarteners. The pizzas are colorful and divided into 7 sections that are labeled to represent different fraction sizes (for example, one slice is 1 whole, two slices are 2 halves, and three slices are 1/3). Kids spin the spinners to determine which fractions are on each pizza, and then use the fraction cards to match the corresponding fractions. The learning cards feature a short sentence and a picture that shows what fraction is on each slice of the pizza. (For example. "One half is 1 whole," or "One-third is 1/3," or "Two-thirds are 2/3.") The Learning Resources Pizza Fraction Fun Game is great for children as young as 3, but it's best suited to children ages 6 and up. The spinners can be tricky for small hands, and the game can be a bit difficult for young children who can't yet read, so this game isn't ideal for children entering first grade. That being said, it's perfect for children entering 2nd or 3rd grade, and it's a great tool for teachers and parents to use when teaching fractions.
Learning Resources' Pop For Sight Words Game is a fun way for kids to practice reading, vocabulary, and fluency. Kids race to collect as many popcorn pieces as possible, but before they can collect them, they have to read the words on the card. The catch is that some cards have sight words on them, and some don't. Kids have to read the words on the card before they can collect the popcorn pieces. As they practice reading, kids build their vocabulary and fluency, and they learn to recognize sight words. Because the sight words are randomly distributed among the cards, kids can't simply memorize the words. They must read the words correctly. Kids can learn new sight words as they play, and new sight words appear each turn. The game is fun for kids, and it's fun for adults too. It's especially fun when you have several kids playing, because kids can't help reading each other's words and arguing about which cards have which words. The playing cards are durable and reusable, so kids won't ruin them. The game box also functions as a storage box, so kids can keep their cards in it after they're done playing. Learning Resources' Pop for Sight Words Game is a fun way for kids to practice reading and vocabulary.
