Disclaimer- I received this complimentary product through the Homeschool Review Crew.
Updated and expanded, but the same quality I’ve always experienced with Critical Thinking Co.TM, Building Thinking Skills Beginning 1 was a hit with my grandsons. This is the first in the popular Building Thinking Skills series, a wonderful way to teach your children critical thinking at home. This will be a valuable homeschool resource for your family!
Each time we sat down to work on it, neither of my grandsons wanted to stop! I used it with a four-year-old and a five-year-old. Though it was easier for the older boy, they both enjoyed figuring out what was being asked of them and following the task. I was excited! Not just for them to learn critical thinking skills, but what a great foundation for math, too.
The pages are bright and cheery in primary colors.

How We Did It
I read the instructions aloud before we worked on the page, but he could have figured it out on his own with the simple instructional diagrams. It really is a fun workbook! It starts with the concepts of color, shape, and size.
If you sign up for their newsletter, you can get a free puzzle every week! Sounds like a great way to check them out!

There is so much this company offers, I can’t begin to mention it all, so let me share some of my favorite products:
Building Thinking Skills (different levels from Pre-K to 12th Grade) This was my son’s favorite curriculum ever! He thought it was fun and always finished the entire book and wanted the next one before Christmas.

Editor-in-Chief (2nd Grade to High School) This is such a fun way to learn grammar. Students hunt for mistakes in the passage! Really neat twist on teaching grammar.
