"But learning is boring!" Ever heard this weekend battle cry? What if I told you that the most powerful learning happens when kids think they're just having fun? Let's discover how play can transform your weekend into an adventure of growth and discovery!
Meet Marcus's Discovery
Nine-year-old Marcus used to dread weekend learning activities. Then his parents discovered Learning Resources' Mental Blox Junior - a puzzle game that sneakily teaches critical thinking. "Now he begs to play 'brain games' every weekend!" his mom laughs.
