We are big fans of Tiggly Shapes in our house. When I received those to review Andrew was on the younger side of two years old. We played with the shapes for a half an hour and it was amazing. Andrew was able to identify and say the name of each shape, he was also able to point out the correct color of each shape and he selected the correct shape when asked during game play. He started slowly but picked it up so quickly. Now Tiggly has a new product called Tiggly Counts and it si the first 1Pad compatible physical math toy for children. I can’t wait to see what Andrew does with this one.
And, just for readers of this blog Tiggly is also offering a special 30 percent off code on pre-orders of Tiggly Counts. Starting October 7th through October 31, your readers can save by entering PREORDER30 at checkout on Tiggly.com/counts.

He was the nice man who played catch with Andrew as Andrew three some display boxes to Paul. Andrew can be quite an imp, especially when he is sugared up. Here is that unboxing video.
Tonight after dinner the kids gathered around and we played through the first stage of the game. There are some big differences in this game over previous ones.

Only TrapMasters can open gates so this looks like a game that we’ll play through once, twice or even three times and not complete it until we have all the figures. That should give me plenty of time to level up my characters from previous games. It is going to take me a while before I know enough to really talk completely intelligently about all aspects of the game, but I’ll get there.
