How I use these

Every center here runs in under 15 minutes with a group of four. I build them around three rules:

  • Kids should be able to start without me
  • The pieces should survive a week in a bin
  • It should feel like a game, not a worksheet

Questions? Send me a note and I'll answer on the weekend.
