With Measuring Motors from Learning Resources Charlie is able to learn and have fun!!

With Charlie not being able to attend school the way he was supposed to keeping him occupied is hard. As there is times I need to work and he wants to play. When this happens I ask him to go and grab a game or a puzzle that he can do sitting next to me while I am working. This way I can help him and still get my work done.

One of the games he keeps going and getting is the Learning Resources Measuring Motors game as it is one of his favorites. I think it is as it has cars and he Loves anything to do with colors. Plus it has his favorite colors with it. There is also a track he can use with the cars. I have even seen him use the track with his other cars and trains.

When his friends come over he likes to get out the game and show them all the cars in it. When he does that I have him tell them the colors as well as the sizes of the cars. Charlie is so funny he does not like sharing the blue cars with anyone other than me.

I have been able to teach him to count by using the cars. I also have been able to teach him his letters by using these cars. I have even made up stories for him with the cars. The stories I tell him I hear him sharing with his friends.

I can tell you that I think these would be a great addition to anyone who is being taught either at home or in a school. If I ran a day care I  would have them in it.

I think a lot of the children here would Love to be able to have these cars as much as Charlie has.

To me Learning Resources has been such a helpful site in our homeschooling that I will be visiting it often and I am going to order Charlie some more items from it.
