Review:
I could rave for hours on how much I love these fact cards. My boys and I had once bought Chat Packs, which are such fun. But now when we are sitting eating dinner, snuggling before bed and driving in the car we are reading these fun fact cards. I have to be honest when I say that much of the things I am learning are things I had previously not known! I was fascinated learning fun fact on all the US Presidents (grades 2-3), facts on outer space (grades k-1) and so much more. we are still working our way through both sets and feel like this is what sparks the love of learning, super interesting little tidbits of facts here and there. The boys will actually ask to take out the cards and read. This is also great for conversation starters with your kids. I am in LOVE with these cards! 5 stars

My son and husband had a great time putting this puzzle together. It is such fun to see them doing this activity together. There was a lot of fun dialogue about which states they have been to and which states they want to go to in the future. My son love geography and history, so he loved the puzzle and the fact book that came with it! This is great fun for all ages. The puzzle was very colorful, with state capitals starred and pictures of what each state is know for. Love this puzzle!
