Timberdoodle

Maybe some of you have never heard of Timberdoodle, a homeschool catalog company located in Shelton, Wa. We've bought from them for many years and have always loved their service and their unique products, which is not limited to curriculum. They find really fun toys and games and excellent books.

They are having a 5 day sale starting now, and even though the prices aren't 'free', I decided to blog about it just to make you aware of the company. Go here to see their 5 day sale specials and here to their home page.

One of our favorite set of books is available here. Mr. Pipes is about a brother and sister who meet Mr. Pipes while traveling with their mom. He ends up befriending them and teaching them ( through really fun adventures) all about music history. Each book takes on a different type/time/place of musicians. We read them aloud last year and it there just wasn't enough time in a day to read them. Great for kids ages 6-13. I believe all the books are family friendly, I've never had reason to question otherwise.

Another of our favorites which is really hard to find are the Mind Benders books. These are logic puzzles, in levels from age 4 to some real stumpers. My children and I love these puzzles. There's nothing like snuggling on the couch and trying to figure these out. This is a sample page from the beginners book - geared at 4-5 year olds. Beleive me, they get MUCH harder.
