Knot So Fast Review

It turns out that tying knots is good for more than just being out in the wilderness-it's actually a great brain building skill to have! The 40 knotty challenges in this game will have your neurons firing as you work to recreate the knots shown on the challenge cards with your rope. If you were never much of a scout, you may gain a new skill or two as you strengthen your spatial reasoning and dexterity skills!

Fun exercise for your brain!
  • Strengthens spatial reasoning and manual dexterity

  • Teaches a wide variety of popular and useful knots

  • Each challenge includes a little knot history or fun fact


  • Include: Spiral-bound Booklet with 40 Illustrated Knot Challenges from Beginner to Expert,  Rope, Metal Tying Ring
     
    When you have a 10 year old stepson who is babied by his mother to the affect that he acts like he is 5, you need something to help him get up to speed with the rest of his age group. He lacks fine motor skills, has sensory issues, and still doesn't know how to tie his shoes. We wanted something to help him practice specifics when it comes to sensory & skills so we gave this a try and as it turns out, it is a big help. He can now tie his shoes and focuses better. It's even fun for adults. I majored in Outdoor Education so knot tying is a big focus of my degree and skills. It's great for getting stress out but also just fun to mess around with and see how many knots you can come up with. I highly recommend this for ANYONE who wants to practice tying knots and especially for kids who lack sensory skills.

    Brain Fitness Shell Game Review

    Brain Fitness Shell Game (Ages 8 to adult, MSRP: $19.99)
    The goal is not to deceive, but rather to improve your memory and logic skills so that you can win. Getting a correct solution may seem like luck, but you’ll smile knowing that it’s a good dose of brain power!

     
     
    My husband and I are always looking for fun things to keep us busy but can help us stay sharp. After going through chemo, I have what you call "chemo brain". You can't get the words out fast enough, memory has a lapse, and there are just times when you are frustrated because you used to know the stuff. I thought this would be a great way to help me increase my mental stamina and for my husband to stay sharp. Not only that but it is great for my stepson who seems to be having a video game or computer game on him at all times. There are different levels and you move to different positions. It even comes with a booklet so you can have different challenges. Not only is it fun but it is entertaining as well. It really makes you think and you actually feel like you are starting to work your brain in the beginning. Not to mention, it is fun too! Since I am an avid blogger and receive these complimentary, after trying out multiple brain games I have to conclude that this is one of my favorites. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to for a fun but challenging game.
