Spell Out Loud: Using Education Cubes

Using Education Cubes

Photo blocks are so versatile! We’ve been using our set quite a bit lately. From the baby all the way to the big kids!

By adding printables from Education Cubes, we are able to use these blocks in so many different ways. I added pictures of the continents in the block. My daughter rolled the block and then had to name the continent and then color it on a map.

We used them in a color matching game which I blogged about earlier.

Our newest game we call “Feed the Cat.” I made this cat out of a soup can and printed some cupcakes (big hint---check out Totally Tots on Wed. and you can make your own!) My preschooler would roll the cube and whatever number was on top, that was the number of cupcakes she had to feed the cat. Both my 4 yr. old and 2yr. old loved to feed the cat!

Our family has been enjoying our photo blocks and our membership to Education Cubes so I’ve decided to host a giveaway! Mama Jenn, the creator of Education Cubes, has agreed to give one lucky reader a membership to Education Cubes! And since it’s helpful to have the cubes to use the membership, whoever wins the membership will also win a $20 gift card to Amazon to purchase a set of photo-blocks—courtesy of Spell Outloud!

Tina said...: I just started using the Raising Rock Stars Preschool cirriculum from 1+1+1=1 and mama Jenn made some inserts to go along with it. Would love to have that. I also love that the printables can be used for more than one child at different age levels at the same time because they are so versatile.
I would love to win, thanks for the opportunity.
