Mind Benders Level 1 Workbook - Deductive Thinking Skills Puzzles (Grades PreK-K)

If you are looking for critical thinking exercises i promise this is the one! My 5 year old hounds me about doing these. If I appear to not be doing anything she is walking up to me with the book and her pencil.The puzzles themselves have the same layout. I like this because we dont spend a lot of time figuring out what the puzzle wants. She knows what she is supposed to do, and the puzzles get harder and harder as the book goes on.Also, the wording is pretty easy as well so my 5 year old can read alot of the words in the puzzle so it is a great reading exercise too.I spent a lot of time trying to find a critical thinking book for this summer and I saw a comment on a different book mention this book.I'm so happy we found these!

Perfect introduction of logic puzzles for kids. The book is made with high quality paper. My child completed the whole book and is begging for the second level. I will be buying it.

I grew up doing Mind Benders and LOVED them as a kid (and, let's be real, I loved them when I dug some of the upper levels out last year and challenged my husband a Mind Bender's race - he was not prepared). So, I was super excited that my godson has shown a knack and love for puzzles and logic/deduction games. I recently purchased the first level for him to try - I'll try to remember to update once he's had a go at them.

I ordered some analogy and logic books for my kids, ages 6-13. This is my favorite that I have received so far. It is exactly what I was looking for. This actually shows the youngest kids how to solve logic problems, using a graph to fill in with Yes or No based on the clues. (For example, 3 people have 3 pets and you get two clues to figure out which person owns which pet.) The book is labeled level PreK-K. I ordered the first book to use with my 8- and 6-year-old boys. I would say that the level rating is about right---it is too easy for my second grader and about right/almost easy for my kindergartener. It is not too babyish for my second grader, though. He really liked doing the puzzles and said that it was just like what he was doing at school. It's a great intro to logic. You can see a sample from this book at The Critical Learning Co. LOVE it, and can't wait to get the next books.

Good memory excercises. But way too expensive for what you get

My kids love mind benders!!! We wish there were more in the series! Excellent tool to keep kids motivated and excited about school work.

My young kindergartner absolutely loved going through the first third of this book with me. I have to read the clues to her, but she picked up very quickly on how to fill out the matrix, and didn't want to stop. I wish I'd bought this for us to do together this summer, rather than the traditional summer bridge workbooks. My 2nd grader loved working this summer on book 2, and enjoyed watching her younger sibling go through the first book. I expect to have to order book 3 and a fresh copy of book 2 after 2-3 more mommy-daughters work sessions.

Getting my daughter to sit down and actually do work that enriches her mind is very difficult. However, the way these are set up, she doesn’t even realize she’s learning. She just thinks she’s solving a fun puzzle. She didn’t want to stop and we ended up doing about 15 in a row. She loves them and we just bought the second level

Book is super duper good .but please don't buy the used one. It's all scribbled .and the original cost itself doesn't not exceed 780 . Critical thinking company website has ebook download.
