Excellent
My 2,5 years old son really liked it. Stickers are high quality and the book is very nice.
Muy completo
I bought this workbook and the one with the elephant to start playing with a 3 year old. I went with 2+ because we’ve never done something like this before and reviews were great. I have to say my 3 year old loved working on them! He’d go through 15-20 pages (they are very easy for him to do) and i’d say: “let take a break” but he would still keep going. We finished these books in 2-3 settings. The sticker rewards are great, all the different pages are not repetitive or boring. The price is a little high for my liking but with everything they offer, they are worth it. I am now ordering these books for 3+.
Absolutley love this workbook and so does my 2 year old. She often asks to do her school book and we spend some lovely quality time together learning and practicing skills. Its level of learning is exactly right for my daughter with some activities she can do easily (quick wins) and more challenging ones.Im gonna buy another one as soon as its available again
Livro de ótima qualidade, com desenhos coloridos e interessantes! Acompanha adesivos para serem usados nas atividades. Os exercÃcios são próprios da faixa etária e muito estimulantes! Adorei a compra e irei adquirir mais livros da coleção.
