The Learning Palette can be used for ages Preschool through Fifth Grade.  It is an independent learning game that is engaging and utilizes fine motor skills while learning vital, grade-level skills.

We pull out our Learning Palette every day for a quick learning time or as an incentive.  Now that my son has used it several times, he doesn’t need me to be with him, but when we pull out a new cards, I like to sit down with him and join the fun :)  Truthfully, at first I thought that the Learning Palette looked too difficult and confusing.  It seemed to have too many pieces and parts.  BUT I gave it a chance and I am so thrilled I did!  It is very simple once you try it once and it is SO fun and SO engaging, even for my four and a half year old son.

How do you use it?

How does the Learning Palette work? Well, it’s actually very simple.

• You take the colored discs out and set them beside the base: (purple, holed purple, green, holed green, yellow, holed yellow, blue, holed blue, orange, holed orange, red, holed red).

• Next, you look at a square in the middle.  Let’s look below: do you see the green circledisc next to the one “1” radish? Your child will put the green disc next to the number one “1”

• Once your child has placed all the discs in their slots, they can turn over the card, and do a check on learning.  It is self correcting!  You child can see, by looking at the colors and discs, if they got any correct or wrong!

• I made a video to show you how the Learning Palette works — check it out :)

What do I love about the Learning Palette?

It is screen free!

It can be used as an incentive for any child or as a “center” in either homeschool or school!

Many subjects are covered and reviewed, for both literacy (for grades K thru 5th) and math thru grades K thru 3rd)!

It combines a hands-on approach with real, substantive learning.

It is self-correcting.  The child feels accomplished after completing one disc, and then can turn the card around for the self-correcting side.  He can see his mistakes and work on them!

It has a cover for easy storage.

There are many card packs (all listed below) so this learning tool grows with your child!

There are many packs available for both literacy and mathematics.  They come in a cardboard pack, like the ones below, and there are 12 cards per pack.  Great for applying concepts learned in preschool or kindergarten (or older grades too!) We just don’t have those packs yet ;)

What is available?

There are many card packs to choose from, so I wanted to list them all here!!
