When I saw that Educational Insights offered Phonics Bean Bags designed to teach letter sounds through active play, I knew that they would be perfect for my 4 year old son! I wanted the phonics bean bags because they sounded like they would make teaching phonics fun for me and learning phonics fun for my active son. My daughter is 6 and she is already a good little reader and I like to help him keep up with her so I thought we could play with the phonics bean bags while she was at school. She discovered the bean bags to though and wanted in on the fun. The phonics bean bag set comes with a bunch of really fun game suggestions and detailed instructions for play plus we have made up a few of our own. Not only have the bean bags been great at developing my son’s phonics skills but also at improving the aim of both my daughter and son. These phonics bean bags are lots of fun and we approve!
