Today I would like to introduce you to the company called Educational Insights based out of Southern California. 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 …
We are very fortunate that we get to see our little 5 year old grand daughter several times a week. Every time she comes over you will find us playing some type of game, watching a movie with her or some other type of bonding activity.
When it comes to finding great educational toys and games to play with the Princess one of my favorite companies is Educational Insights. They have a large variety of products for every age group and at every price point.
Recently the company sent us the Diggity Dogs Game to review for all of you so we immediately planned a fun family game night complete with pizza and popcorn! The game is for ages 5 and up and for 2-4 players.
Game Synopsis: You’re in charge of a pack of pooches and they all have different needs! Collect the cards that perfectly match a dog’s needs and the dog is yours. Adopt the most doggies and you win the game! Simple and Easy!
How to Play: Ask another player for a specific card or draw a card from the deck. Collect 3 cards that match the three things a dog needs, and you get to adopt the dog. Continue play until all pets are adopted. Count your pouches and the player with the most dogs is the winner.
My Thoughts: I first want to state this…if you are looking for small & compact games that travel well, this game is perfect because it comes in a small storage box and doesn’t take up very much room. Perfect for traveling this summer or for a sleepover at grandma’s house.
This card game is a lot like “go fish” but with a doggy theme! I love that the cards are over-sized and have little plastic stands which help them to stand upright. Because of the size, they are perfect for little hands and for old people like me who have eyesight problems! LOL
We sat down to play this game with the Princess and she immediately well in-love with it. We each took turns until all of the dogs were adopted and then counted them up to see who was the winner. The first time we played, I won but the next two times the Princess won.
Since receiving this game, we have played it at least 15 times and each time it gets better and better. Its a great little game to help children learn their matching and counting skills while having fun doing it! Yay! We give it a big 2-thumbs up!

Brand new for 2014 is this Primary Science Metal Detector from Learning Resources. My husband has a very expensive metal detector and the Princess always wants to play with it. Now she can quit bugging him and have her own!
This Primary Science Metal Detector is made for children ages 3 and up. It lights up and beeps when metal is detected and has a pivoting head for easy use. One of the really cool things is that it is perfectly sized for small children and has an easy-grip handle.
It is really light-weight and compact measuring only 12″ long by 5″ in diameter. A great item to take with you to the beach, the lake, camping or just use in your own backyard. You will need to supply two AAA batteries to power it and they are not included.
There is an on/off button on the handle, a red power light indicator and there are three tiny red lights that go around the ring portion that light up when a “treasure” is detected. You place the batteries into the back of the handle and I love that its a secure compartment with a screw-entry so the kids can’t mess with the batteries.
We took it out into our backyard with the Princess a few weekends ago and left her go around the yard looking for treasures. She didn’t find any treasures but she did find several old rusty nails & screws! Pappy gave her a quarter for each one she found, so that money really added up! LOL A great way to rid our yard of all of that nasty stuff too!
We really like this metal detector but do wish it had a little longer handle. She got tired after awhile of bending and squatting while using it. It is only 12″ in length, so adding a longer handle or telescopic handle would make it a perfect educational science toy for the little ones.
