Kubit2me: Lil' Scholars ABC's & 123's and Now You're Talkin'

We recently received a fun package of games from Kubit2me.  Right out of the box, my children were excited and so was I.  These games are so incredibly soft - you just want to hug them.  The pockets to hold the game cards are well made and just plain fun to look at. 


Kubit2me's Lil' Scholars Edition (ages 3+)  is the first game we took a look at.  It is perfect for Mr. C and Princess A as it is geared for preschoolers and Kindergartners so they can practice and refine their basic skills like number, letter, and word recognition, beginning and ending sounds, and emotions.  You roll the Kubit2me to another player, pull a card out of the pocket, and complete the appropriate task based on the game you are playing.  Our kids LOVED tossing it back and forth and digging in the pockets for a card.  We were also easily able to adapt the game between the two kids based on their skill level.  And did I mention how fun these are to touch?  :) 


Kubit2me's Lil' Scholars Edition received the 2008 Game of the Year Award from Creative Child Magazine, Dr. Toy's 10 Best Socially Responsible Products for 2009 Award and Dr. Toy's 100 Best New Products for 2009 Award.  A Bonus Box is also available for Lil' Scholars to expand the game when little ones are ready! The Lil' Scholars Edition would make a great game for PreK-1st grade teachers and thus, a fantastic gift idea! If you are looking for a great birthday gift for a young child, look no further.  


Kubit2me's Now You're Talkin' Edition (ages 10+) is  a fun and interactive game that gets everyone talking and sharing.  Simply roll Kubit2me to a player and draw a card from the pocket.  Enjoy answering questions and learning about others as you listen to their answers.  It is a non-competitive game that fosters open communication between friends and families.  It can be played with 2-8 players as well so is great for school camps, family gatherings, parties, and sleep overs. 


While Now You're Talkin' is geared toward children older than ours, we simply removed the questions that were not age appropriate and had a great time playing.  One of the best things about this game is that it opens up the lines of communication so we figured that by playing now, they will hopefully see that it is still okay to play and talk to us about these things as they get older.  It will also be fun to see how their answers change over time.  Now You're Talkin' received Creative Child Magazine's Preferred Choice Award in 2008 and Dr. Toy's Best New Products for 2009 Award.  You can also purchase a Now You're Talkin' Bonus Box that expands your game play.  


Kubit2me also has a Truth or Dare Edition that makes for a great addition to any sleepover.  Really?  What is not to love about girls sharing, communicating, talking, and validating each other all while collecting glitter scoring bracelets?  Truth or Dare is for ages 8 and up; you can also buy the Truth or Dare Bonus Box to extend the play of this fun and interactive game!


You can purchase Kubit2Me's games in Mommy Mentor's Open Sky Shop - a place where I can share the products I have reviewed and love..with you!  Thanks for stopping in!
