Monday Math + GIVEAWAY!!

Growing up, the focal point of our Thanksgiving decorations was mom's cornucopia. I was fascinated by all the different fabric foods and how they were arranged--especially the mushrooms. I hate mushrooms now, so I'm not sure about the attraction, but I loved to sneak and play with them. :)

Those fabulous 70's prints are as much a part of my Thanksgiving memories as turkey and pumpkin pie!

When I was trying to come up with a design for a Thanksgiving card game, the brightly patterned mushrooms and all their stuffed friends kept coming back to me. Which is how I ended up with this:
It's part of an addition came called Harvest Bounty. Players practice adding numbers--with a Thanksgiving twist!

 

This game is geared toward 6 to 9-year-olds, but by using fewer cards, younger learners could easily play.

Now onto the good stuff...

  1. Cute games! I think I would pick Banana split or Falling Leaves (for some math review with my 2nd grader - he's working on mastering some of those addition facts). And Welcome to the neighborhood looks cute -- I've been looking for something like this for my 5 year old preschooler (missed the kinder cut-off) who already knows all her letters and sounds.

  2. I really can't pick -- you've done a great job incorporating creativity and learning. That cornucopia is darling! My grandma had a large display with beaded fruit...it always fascinated me.

  3. I so remember that 70's fabric. My sister made a quilt out of this exact fabric. It was used as her bedspread for part of the 70's and most of the 80's. Fun memories! Thanks for stopping by waddleeahchaa.com and leaving a comment. :)

  4. My boy is only 1, so definitely one of the alphabet games (love the soaring through space one), and I also love the falling leaves one.
