Watch How Squishyland 3-5 Expansion Card Packs Works
The kids love it and they are learning while playing! I played with 6-8th grade LS students.
We absolutely LOVE Squishyland! My 4.5-year-old can't get enough of this game, and one of my favorite things is that he's learning without even realizing it!
As a licensed teacher, I really appreciate the thought that went into the different card packs, especially how they progressively increase in difficulty and align with educational standards and the Science of Reading. After just one week of playing, I've already noticed my preschooler becoming more confident in recognizing letters and identifying their sounds.
It's such a fun, engaging way to build early literacy skills through play. I highly recommend Squishyland to any family looking for a game that's just as educational as it is enjoyable!
Cute game, and looks as described. The real test would be if my 5 year old grandson likes it. It is for Christmas so we'll know then.
Wonderful!
I teach K-3 learning support and this game is one of my new favorites.
