My son loves playing this. It’s like candy land but he is learning.
J'ai enfin trouvé une façon de faire aimer la lecture à ma fille et elle en redemande
😍
If you buy it on Amazon there is no shipping cost. I got it the next day!
The games are actually fun and challenging for my 8 year old. He does not complain about playing them. I was nervous about spending the money on the bundle but it has been well worth it for some family game time with learning/practice as a bonus!!
My 3 and 6 year olds love these games, especially squishyland.
My kid loves this game the only thing I have a complaint about is the face is already off the squishy after the first game. (And no she wasn't playing with it) the one I used the face is half off its like as soon as you touch it, it rubs off.
It is great for my struggling middle schoolers. They love getting to play a game to practice reading rather than doing a worksheet. My high school kids love to play it because they said it makes reading FUN again! Thank you so much!
My four year-old granddaughter won’t stop playing it. She woke up at six in the morning and that’s the first thing she grabbed. It’s been a great fun time with her.
These are a great reward for kids who have progressed through a card set. They also make fun swap outs for when the squishies get over used. The grade 1s I work with are all big fans!
Helpful with kids still learning how to read time .
Perfecr for kids who are still learning.
I have a sixth grader with Down syndrome and wanted this game to help teach him shopping/cash life skills as well as math facts. I got so much more than I hoped for. He’s obsessed with the game and asks to play it daily, but also, his third grade neurotypical brother also loves it and engages for 30 minutes or more at a time almost daily! The combination of squishy pawns, realistic-looking money, and Monopoly-like game play make this game so sticky for both my kids. I want every parent and special needs educator to know this exists. Amazing, perfectly designed game.
The kids love it and they are learning while playing! I played with 6-8th grade LS students.
Great game! This is a great way to practice math with money. Have every kid play for themselves using the shopping list at their level.
Most of the games are engaging enough to keep a kid interested! I’d like to see more strategy in the games because my kids play adult games, and even though these are in their age limits- they feel like they are playing baby/toddler games. Strategy is so important to develop. I tweak the rules on some of your games to make them a little more competitive or strategic. Then there are some of the games that feel like the games we play with our curriculum- they’re not hiding the learning aspect- and it’s not fun. Like Math Ahoy. Completing the math problem and popping your fidget for help is kind of lame. It’s such a cute theme- I wish they would make into an actual game not just math practice.
I bought the small school bundle and we’re still working our way through the games, but so far the best for education and fun (in my opinion) are:
Supermarket Squishy Spree (so great! Great for practicing math and money- we had Money bags before, and it was okay, but it wasn’t really “fun,” the market store is fun! And they are learning about everyday life skills- they get a shopping list, and they practice learning which items are dairy, produce, etc. I also love that it comes with different levels of shopping lists so you can the youngest can have an easy list, and the oldest can have the challenging list.)
Squishyland- literally Candyland not my favorite, but my kids love it! I had each kid playing use their own deck of cards so that they were practicing things at their own levels. So my youngest did letter sounds, my older daughter played with the multi syllable deck. It worked great.
Shape detectives was like the best! I loved it. I tweaked rules to make it more challenging.
The time one is pretty great too. The name escapes me at the moment.
Finally there’s a space rocket one and that’s a mock of Snakes and Ladders just with education mixed into it!
Overall we have fun playing the games and it’s a nice way to supplement in areas they struggle with. I’m very happy with my purchase, but I would still like to see some games come out that are more strategic, and if possible- some older kids games.
One idea for older kids is to do a murder mystery/escape room where it’s a mix of using a screen, and a physical game. The screen can provide the details so that it’s not all reading. It can come with some reading things; and the escape room problems would be education based. You could also make this for younger kids, too. One riddle for the younger kids could be something like, “ An octopus has 8 legs, count them if you don’t believe me! 🐙
The word OCT makes me think of something else that comes in 8. Can you figure out what it is? Choose the correct shape!”
Ok I’m done. Thanks for reading if you made it this far! Thanks for the games ☺️

The games are awesome and age appropriate! My daugther enjoys it.
We absolutely LOVE Squishyland! My 4.5-year-old can't get enough of this game, and one of my favorite things is that he's learning without even realizing it!
As a licensed teacher, I really appreciate the thought that went into the different card packs, especially how they progressively increase in difficulty and align with educational standards and the Science of Reading. After just one week of playing, I've already noticed my preschooler becoming more confident in recognizing letters and identifying their sounds.
It's such a fun, engaging way to build early literacy skills through play. I highly recommend Squishyland to any family looking for a game that's just as educational as it is enjoyable!
Fantastic Game! I originally bought this for my 6-year-old to get more familiar with money and how to count money. It is now also a favorite of my 12-year-old as she likes to feel more confident in learning the different ways to make change. Great financial literacy.
Same again. If my grandson enjoys the cards with the game and we won't know until Christmas.
Cute game, and looks as described. The real test would be if my 5 year old grandson likes it. It is for Christmas so we'll know then.
