How to Play Fastrack – Timberdoodle Vodcast #0092

Thursday, December 8th, 2011

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 51:00 — 0.0KB)

From Timberdoodle.com:
Pull out Fastrack and watch his eyes light up. Fastrack is a beautiful solid wood tray with elastic bands across each end and a bridge in the middle. Using the elastic band like a slingshot, players simultaneously try to shoot five wooden disks under the bridge to the other side. Be quick and aim well because the Fastrack bridge opening is barely bigger than the disks.

The first player with no disks on his side wins. Your child’s need of shooting accuracy and lightning-fast timing will increase his dexterity and reflexes, while sharpening visual perception and strategic thinking. Simple, exciting, but small enough to be portable, Fastrack is rowdy fun for everyone!

Not just your standard building blocks! ED Smart Blocks are wooden building blocks with self-righting magnets, holding your child’s creations together, and allowing them to be played with in whatever shapes your child can imagine.

From Timberdoodle.com:
Smart Block‘s wooden pieces, with the always attaching, never repelling magnets, are safe and easy for children to separate and put back together. With thirty gorgeous pieces in a variety of shapes, Smart Block Aircraft builds sixteen winged models (as pictured on the back of the box), but that is just the beginning. This innovative, multi-faceted construction toy encourages creativity, development of spatial perception, and even problem solving as young children build their own unique models. Made of sturdy beechwood, Smart Block Aircraft is suitable for ages three and older.

What Is Pajaggle? Video Demo – Timberdoodle Vodcast #0089

Thursday, December 8th, 2011

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 1:16:00 — 0.0KB)

From Timberdoodle.com:
Because of its distinctive multi-sensory emphasis, Pajaggle provides exceptional educational benefits untouched by other puzzles. In addition to increasing your child’s reasoning ability, the multi-sensory process actually means activity is happening on both sides of the brain. That increase of activity has been linked to improved concentration, attentiveness, and mental sharpness in both children and adults.

Many game variations, some quite complex, are outlined in the Pajaggle playbook. To get the most out of group games, we encourage you to purchase more than one Pajaggle Game, in different color combinations. Each Pajaggle comes with 61 super-sturdy polycarbonate pieces, Pajaggle playbook, timer, and storage box.

For more information, visit timberdoodle.com/pajaggle.

How to Play SmartCar #0087

Thursday, December 8th, 2011

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 1:32:00 — 0.0KB)

From Timberdoodle.com:
There are many more ways of building a car than most preschoolers realize! In SmartCar, you have four identically shaped blocks, with only the color and placement of the eyes on the blocks being different. The object of this 3-D puzzle is to make a car that matches the image as shown in the challenge.

Most three year olds will find it challenging enough to build the cars by looking at the solutions. But after completing all the solutions, they will be ready to tackle the actual puzzles. SmartCar includes forty-eight challenges (ranging from easy to difficult), solutions, wooden car chassis, and four colorful wooden blocks. For ages three to eight.

For more information, visit timberdoodle.com/smartcar.

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 1:51:00 — 0.0KB)

Introduce your child to math in a fun way!

This set of twelve whimsical wooden blocks is taking the home education market by storm. From the one-inch ladybug cube to the twelve-inch giraffe rod, Inchimals are all you’ll need to introduce your young child to math. Because of its precise inch segments, Inchimals can also be used to guess and measure common item around the house. How tall is the glass? It is as tall as a tiger, or six inches tall. How long is a carrot? It is as long as a rabbit, or four inches long. Or build a corral for those Lego horses and chat about perimeter.

From Timberdoodle.com:
Thoughtfully designed with matching numerals and dot equivalent on opposite ends of each block, Inchimals is the best hands-on program we have seen for teaching math to young children. For children from three to eight years of age.
