Writer, editor and education advocate Nathalie Le Du on Thursday, May 16th as she discusses:
The importance of project-based, play-based learning and tinkering
How real-life based characters help learning. Cartoon characters with five fingers as opposed to three (i.e., The Simpsons and Mickey Mouse) help children with everything from counting to patterning to arts and crafts
The importance of play combined with experimentation – teaching kids the important traits of resilience and persistence
How her past experience helped to create these workbooks
The TinkerActive workbook experience: Each workbook starts with interactive and entertaining exercises that cover the essential math, science, and problem-solving skills. Then, apply what you’ve learned with exciting hands-on tinkering, making, and engineering activities that utilize common household materials and encourage kids to learn through play.
Vetted by award-winning educators, TinkerActive Workbooks are an excellent supplement to schoolwork or at-home study, and each book is aligned to Common Core State Standards. TinkerActive Workbooks are designed to build your child’s fundamental math and science skills AND inspire them to try new things, discover new skills, and imagine new possibilities—a surefire way to encourage their love of learning.
