Educational Insights is the manufacturer of playful products with serious educational value, including subject-specific classroom products, teacher resources, educational toys, and games. Their products are designed by seasoned educators and parents who know that children love to learn when you make that learning experience fun!

We received the “Kitten Caboodle” game to review for all of you and let me tell you, this simple game is a lot of fun!  It is for ages 5 and up and for 2-4 players.

Object of Game: You are in charge of a caboodle of kitties and they all have different needs. Collect the cards that perfectly match a kitty’s needs and the kitty is yours. Adopt the most kitties and you win!

How to Play: Ask another player for a specific card or draw a card from the card deck. Collect three cards that match the three things a cat needs, and you get to adopt that specific cat! Continue play until all pets are adopted. Count your kitties and the player with the most cats is declared the winner.

Our Thoughts: Our little grand daughter is 5 years old and our god son is 7 years old. The two of them play very well together especially when the game or toy is age appropriate for both of them…like this game!

We sat down with the two kids recently and played this game together as a family. What I love about it is that its an “easy” game with an “easy” concept that they both were able to grasp quickly. It didn’t take an hour or more for them to understand how to play it.  Next, we found that each game took us less than 20 minutes to play. We like that the game play goes by really quickly so in an hours time, you can easily play 2-3 games or break it up into “rounds”.

As a grandparent, I love that the instructions are also printed on the cute storage box, nothing to lose! The game is small & compact which makes it nice for traveling or sleepovers to grandma’s house. Fun, Fun, Fun!

The holidays are coming and this is a super cute & affordable game for you to add to your holiday gift shopping list! You can purchase the Educational Insights Kitten Caboodle Game directly from Amazon for a really great price!

New Sprouts Shop It! Play Store Set by Learning Resources

Everything is made out of durable plastic and not cheapo cardboard like you see in other play food type of sets. I really appreciate that because I like the Princess’ toys to last!

One of the very cool things about this set is that the “play” scanner really lights up and beeps! It comes with the batteries but over time you will have to replace them. Right out of the box your kids can enjoy this set!

If you own any of the Learning Resources play food sets, the cash register, etc. This set would be great to go right along with them. Everything easily works together and compliments one another. The Princess just loves it!

You can purchase the Learning Resources New Sprouts Shop It! from Amazon for a really great price!
