Hand2Mind NumberBlocks Express Train MathLink Cube Activity Set

This was my grandsons number one requested gift! He loves the train and that you can put the number blocks together, however their faces are stickers that do not stay on.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This train set is a fun way to learn numbers and counting. My 2 year old loves putting the train together and my 5 year old loves building the numbers. My only complaint is the stickers come off very easily.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids were so excited for this free sample. The box was visually appealing and very sturdy to keep and store all the pieces. It was a lot of pieces to put together and the stickers needed to be put on. They loved using all the colored blocks to make the trains to play with but also was great to use as a learning tool one on one to help explore counting and number recognition.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son had fun getting to play with this toy and didn't even realize he was learning. The train aspect was very engaging. The only negative for me was that there are a lot of small pieces to manage.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was sent the MathLink Cubes Activity Set Numberblocks Express Train as a free sample as a part of the BzzAgent sampling program in exchange for an online review. My two children, aged 3 and 5, helped me review the product. We found that the train was a fun education tool that helped with identifiying colors, numbers, and beginning math fact concepts. My children are a little young to understand the concept of addition and subtraction, but the Mathlink cubes helped me begin this process. The kit includes cards with clear pictures to help the educator come up with ideas to help show the student how to use the train as a math manipulative. Overall the product feels like both a toy and an educational tool. My children love building with the blocks and making the train, as well as counting the blocks. My kids love it, and I love it, too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given the Numberblocks Express Train by Bzzagent in exchange for writing a review. We have been trying it out for about 2 weeks now. The block train has been entertaining for my 4 year old daughter. The block train set was easy to put together and place the stickers. The instructions were easy to understand and it was nice to have pictures to reference. The one thing I didn't like was that the blocks would easily break apart with a slight force; possibly to allow a small child the ability to separate the blocks easily without needing parental support. My daughter was anxiously waiting for me to put it all together to begin playing. Everyday she has been asking me to play with the blocks. She just started preschool a few weeks ago so this is helping her understand what number placement means and how to identify the numbers. She does not understand addition yet but we will continue working with the blocks. I also enjoy how it comes with activity cards so we have examples on how to use the train blocks to its full potential. Thank you for providing me with this activity set for my child to enjoy playing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this! It's versatile for young kiddos and you can scaffold its use as well! My kiddo loves trains and thought this was the best ever! We were able to talk about counting while feeding his passion for trains!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this block train set! This is so entertaining and keeps my son busy. We love to build different size of trains and learn numbers. My son remembered visually numbers, which is already great benefit from this toy. The quality is high and well made. I think it's great for Motoric and gross skills. Overall, I wish there would be more toys like that.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free in exchange for writing the review, but I would 100% buy this product. My daughter loved setting up the train system and it was very interactive and allowed us to bond together. She loves math and it made it easy for her to learn adding and subtracting but with some fun attached to it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My boys (2 and 4) enjoyed playing with these! Set up took a little bit (putting the stickers on, putting the wheels on the train, etc) and the blocks were difficult for them to snap together/unsnap at first. It took a little time to figure it out, but overall they enjoyed it. My four year old enjoyed counting and stacking the corresponding number. My two-year old enjoyed them as building blocks.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Learning Resources kindly gave me this MathLink® Cubes Activity Set Numberblocks® Express Train for free so that I could review it. My child is just at the beginning age recommendation and this set had plenty for them to play and learn with. My only issue was the wheels kept coming off as it was rolled and I had to reattach it because my child got frustrated they kept popping off and they could not reattach on their own. Otherwise I look forward to using this in the years to come to work on math skills!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My child loves playing with the MathLink Cubes Activity Set Numberblocks Express Train. While his favorite part is the train itself, he likes sticking the number cube blocks together and pulling them apart. He pretends they're little characters driving the train cars. The pieces stay together pretty well; however, some of the smaller decoration stickers wouldn't stay on the pieces.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this for free in exchange for leaving a review. My four year old is extremely advanced in academics, however math is not his strong suit. He had a slight grasp on addition but the concept of subtraction eluded him. This toy gave him the hands on experience he needed to learn subtraction. He plays with it daily, both with me and on his own. He lives how easy it is to take the pieces apart and put them together and he it's thrilled to have number block toys. He announces "I'm going to go learn with my number blocks now" and lives showing of what he's learned with the pieces and the cards with math problems on them. I would buy this for any young child and I will be buying a set for my preschool classroom.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this with my 4 year old daughter to do basic addition. I love how you can show 2+1=3 with 2 colors so it's easy to see 2 red and 1 blue equals 3 total. Some of the cube connections are difficult to snap together while others break apart easily. Makes it hard for a kid to put them together or handle the cubes when they're falling apart.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this set for free play and also for fundamental math practice (counting, adding, subtracting, ordering numbers, etc.). My 5 year old loves both uses.
