I love to play educational games with my three little ones. In contrast to my 5 and a half year old daughter's preschool days my 3 year old son and 2 year old daughter are playing a lot more games and having more of a self paced learning style. Don't get me wrong they still work in workbooks or on a unit study but they play a lot more games then my Baobi ever did. I have a few books I like to get learning games from. They are Totlines 123 series, Evan-Moor Early learning Games and Centers and Core of Knowlege What Your "fill in the grade" Needs To Know. There are a lot of books out there look at library and book stores for them.

This week, 10-11-98, I do not have a game I have been very busy studing my husbands language since I found a rare treasure in my public library. It is a book called Hmong For Beginners. So needless to say we have elected to study Hmong fairy tales this week. If fairy tales are of interest to you check your library for these titles: Jouanah a Hmong Cinderella. Folk Stories of the Hmong. Asian Folktales. Nine in one Grr! Grr!. The Hmong In America: We Sought Refuge Here. and Only A Toad. These have all been very enjoyable for the whole family. My husband who was sent of to boarding school at a young age has even heard some that he did not know.
