Timberdoodle's What's New? What's Missing? What's Different? Product Review


I have another fun Timberdoodle book to share with you, What's New? What's Missing? What's Different?.  This workbook for early learners combines the love of learning with the love of creating.  This book features hundreds of unique and fun things to hunt for, find, and color.  Children will match, spot differences and create new things of their very own.  E, who turned 7 last October and is in 1st grade, has been working on this book.  F, who turned 5 this month and is in PreK, really enjoys "helping" her with it.  Even G, age 2, likes looking at the illustrations and showing your what he finds.

E with her new workbook.

What is meant by What's New?  What's Missing?  What's Different?  For New - you can make your own drawings using colors that you like, adding extra decorations or whatever you would like making it something NEW.  For Missing - looking at two pictures you can tell that something is not the same, something is missing - you can circle what's missing, copy the missing parts or draw them in your own way.  For Different - looking at the drawings spot the one that is different.  

New and Missing

Different

Catch all the bugs by circling the ones that are different on the corresponding trees.

Looking at the trees

Catching the different bugs by circling them

F "helping" E.  She doesn't need help but he likes to find them too!

On the left page, you circle all the things that are missing from the pet shop on the right.

 And then on the right, you draw all the things that were missing!

 
I love seek and find pages like the one above.

As you can see from the examples above, this workbook is filled with creative, vivid images and fun ways to engage children in early learning.  They will learn to distinguish between subtle and large differences and have the opportunity to respond uniquely and creatively to them.  I really like that it helps enhance focus and helps teach kids attention to detail in such a fun way.

What's New? What's Missing? What's Different? is part of Timberdoodle's 1st grade curriculum kit.

Disclosure:  Huge shout out to Timberdoodle for selecting me as a Timberdoodle Blogger.  Timberdoodle sent my family What's New? What's Missing? What's Different? in exchange for our honest review.  All opinions are my own.

My daughter is getting to preschool age now where I'm really focusing more on educational activities. This looks great, thanks for the thorough review!
