SPELLING GAME ARITHMETIC GAME

Enlightened educators have long recognized the connection between play and learning. More than 300 years ago, philosopher and educator, John Locke, suggested that by playing with alphabet dice, "Children may be cozen'd into a knowledge of letters... without perceiving it to be any thing but sport." Similarly, number dice help children with basic number identification, counting, addition/subraction, practice with place value, rounding and simple multiplication/division. The Spelling Game and Arithmetic Game are based on a centuries-old tradition of educational toys. Recommended for children ages 4-8; not intended for children under 3.
