Big Bag of Science
After some discussion here we decided to replace Mindblowing Science with Big Bag of Science. At this age the marvelous experiments in Big Bag of Science will whet your child’s appetite for science in a way the whole family will enjoy. We still recommend Mindblowing Science if you’d like additional experiments with explanations written at your child’s level. But we felt most families would find the extra 58(!) experiments worth the effort!

Bloco 3D Savanna in Pyjamas Set
Upgraded from CitiBlocs, Bloco is cheaper, more colorful, and a perfect fit for this age.

Beleduc Colorful Caterpillars Game
A fun addition which works on colors, shapes, lacing, and the character building of winning and losing games! Brought in partly as a game replacement for the discontinued BrainBox and partly because we bumped it up from the Toddler Curriculum as more suited to preschoolers than toddlers.

Then & Now Usborne Title
A fun new history title, designed to give you and your child even more talking points comparing life today to the life their grandparents lived. (Note: our more conservative families may want to hit the beach scene with a touch of white out.)

Smencil
A fun scented pencil to make writing just a little more exciting for your student!

Timberdoodle’s Scheduling Helps folder
Upgraded to the 2011 format to make it easier for you to reference and use.

BrainBox
Discontinued by manufacturer

Citiblocs
Replaced with Bloco because Bloco is cheaper and we added a very similar set (with an advanced manual) to 6th grade.

Mindblowing Science
Upgraded to Big Bag of Science to give you 58 more experiments.
