Demon Dice (now Dude Dice) & Diva Dice

At £6.25 we're cheaper than Amazon! Our fastest selling product - children just love these! It sounds too easy to be fun, but believe us, it's addictive.
Two dice have numbers on (1,2,3,4,5 and 10 for level 1 and 6,7,8,9,10,11 and12 for level 3). The third dice has + - x or Aaahhh on each side.
Roll all 3 dice and work out the sum. Keep going until you roll the Aaahhh. Your go has finished and it's someone else's turn. Whoever scores the highest score in that round wins a Demon or a Diva. Keep going until one person has won all three.
A great way to practice mental maths. You have to remember your score and add on your new score with each roll.

Wordshark Version 4

We can't find this cheaper on-line! Only £68.
The new Version 4 has 41 games to help your child to read and spell thousands of words. All literacy work at Key Stages 1, 2 and 3 is covered. Lists of words are easy to navigate and grouped into high frequency words and those that share a common trait - consonant blends etc. I like to make my own list every week from the nine thousand pre-recorded words. Easy to do it means my daughter learns her weekly spellings in 10 minutes! You can also record your own words to add to the list if that's not enough.
The games range from matching games to rearranging the letters into the words . There is even a spelling test to check how you are doing. As your child plays there is an option to have a fun, non-word, game in between each spelling game. This helps keeps the games fun and your child concentrating.
Well used in private schools and also for children with dyslexia.

Square Up

This is far more addictive than you'd expect. There are two boxes and two dice in each set. You shake your dice to come up with a pattern and then race against your friend to copy that pattern on your box of tiles. The winner is the first to shut the lid showing the pattern in the middle.
Of course you don't need to race against your friend. It amuses two children seperately just as well. The tiles on the outside do not form part of the pattern but can be moved into it. This makes it a lot easier than a Rubbic cube and a lot faster pace. Oh and you learn strategy, concentration and visual skills whilst you play!
