I agree with the other reviewer. If you have a 4-year old who is about to go into (or has already started) pre-school, get the Kindergarten Brain Quest (yellow) deck. While this deck is useful (especially for gearing your little one up the summer before pre-school), you'll find that after once going through the deck, your little one will find that most of the questions are not challenging at all. This deck is almost PRE pre-school. If your 3 1/2 or 4-year-old is somewhat bright, skip this deck and go for the yellow Kindergarten Brain Quest deck.
I just bought these for my 2 1/2 year old. We went through all the questions in 2 days and she can do about 90% of them very easily. After reading the reviews, I wholeheartedly agree: buy at least one age higher than you think you need. I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that the parents buying their kids BrainQuest packs in the first place are nurturing ahead-of-the-curve kids anyway.
I happened to stumble across Brain Quest for Threes and bought it because it's compact packaging looked convenient. I put in my car to pull out whenever I brought my 3 and 5 year olds to appointments or weekends away. I was thrilled to discover that my kids really enjoyed playing the game and I could easily play with them both by taking turns. There are so many questions that the cards always seem new. My 5 year old often pulls it out to play by herself and the easy to understand answer cards allow her to do so. I have purchased other Brain Quest products for the subsquent age groups.
Wish I had read the reviews prior to purchasing because I definitely feel this product would be best for those in the 2-3 age range. However, because each child is different, if there were a few sample questions on the packaging, I think it would help tremendously with helping parents choose the right product.
My son turned 3 two months ago. These are a pretty good fit for him and he's enjoying them, although many of the questions strike me as "too easy" and I would think they'd be in the age 2-3 deck (such as counting & color indentification). It really depends on your child, though. Some reviews say "too hard" and some say "too easy", so it just depends. And there's nothing wrong with a little recap of things he already knows. It was a pretty good mix of challenging & easy, although only a few did I think were truly challening for his age.He loves looking through these and completed the entire first deck front & back the day we got it. It also opens up discussion and I can revise the question if I want to, or expand on it.Some of the questions are so-so ... such as identifying who is wearing "overalls". Just not a common clothing item in my opinion, but maybe it is in some regions? :) Also, I skip over the nursery rhyme questions. There are a handful of questions that give you the "wrong" lyrics to the nursery rhyme, and the child is supposed to know which part is wrong, and what the right lyrics are. Just kind of a confusing concept for this age (unless you are big into memorizing nursery rhymes). Learning or correcting words to nursery rhymes just isn't that important for us. We sing a few for fun, but I just feel like something else besides that could have been used that was more educational or practical.I liked the questions that had to do with "under" "over" "behind" etc. Those are concepts that I have not really taught him yet so it was good to see.
My daughter loved her 3 year old brain quest cards so i got her the 4 year old ones. She loves doing them together, and its a nice alternative to books at times. Also easy to bring when traveling, we treat it like a fun game, not like flash cards where you drill kids or anything like that. I know that people complain that they are too easy but i actually think its fine that some of the questions are easy - my dauter loves the sense of accomplishment when she can get the questions right on her own, without too much help. If they were all hard questions, im sure it would be more "work" and less "fun". Highly recommend.
My daughter thought these were fun at first, then got bored. However, they fit easily in my "mommy bag" so I bring a set when we go out to eat. They usually keep her busy for a while, and I like that she is learning at the same time. Even though she isn't in love with them, I still give them 5 stars because it is a quality product. The first time she did this (3 years old) she got about half of them right, so I think the difficulty level was perfect for her.
Our very-verbal two year-old LOVES this deck of questions, and she'll continue to get a lot of use out of it since there are many she can't yet answer. Very practical things that all kids should know are presented here.
