Mathy Monster Munch is an ideal game for younger kids around three to five. It includes everything you need for 3 basic games which help teach children the concepts of matching, comparing and counting. The first level of play is very basic. Your child will lay out one card and compare the sides to determine if the images drawn are equal or which side has more. The kit comes with counting cubes which help the children count the cubes as they place them on the picture. A cute touch is the little alligator mouth card that children use to act out the alligator eating the side with more cubes. The alligator mouth is in the shape of a greater/less than sign, a great early introduction to the concept. Level 2 introduces flashcards instead of game mats and little monster mouth cardboard cutouts. Using flashcards, and like level one, they will also use their counting cubes to compare the numbers on each flashcard. Then comes the fun part. They’ll determine more, less, and equal and feed that card and all the cubes into the monster’s mouth. Level 3 is much the same as level 2, except they will use a new deck of fun cards because they feature silly items like “fish tacos” or “dirty socks.” Mathy Monster Much is engaging and perfectly suited for younger children just beginning to learn basic skills like counting, matching, and comparing. Its bright colors and illustrations are engaging and will help children learn core math concepts while they laugh and have fun feeding their monsters. Another feature that should not be overlooked is that it’s packed in a very small box. There is no wasted space, and once the box is closed, it has a little carrying handle, making it perfect for storing or taking along.
