Thinkers IntelliBox

[ Review ]

Boon Xin (4) is holding a set of Thinkers’ IntelliBox. This is ThinkersBox‘s subscription-based Intellectual Development Kit, which will be delivered right to your doorsteps every month!

To quote from ThinkersBox :
To succeed in today’s competitive and global environment, we need to give our children the lifelong capabilities to think fast, solve problems, be creative, make good judgements, stay focused and achieve the true potential of their intellectual capabilities.

IntelliBox is a monthly kit filled with mini brain-based games, puzzles, worksheets and reading notes for parents.

We like the quote “Fun toys trigger an inquisitive mind“. The materials are designed and reviewed by a panel of Early Childhood Educators, Psychologists and Professors to ensure the materials are developmentally appropriate for children aged 4 to 7 years old.

Boon Xin just need to follow the pictorial instructions. On page 1, she need to perform three simple tasks, finally splitting the cubes by their colours.

These cubes are excellent for young kids to improve their fingers’ dexterity. Their fine motor skills will be enhanced through constant eye and fingers coordination.

As we progress further, we noticed the cubes now form a multi-dimensional shape.
Boon Xin needs to build the cubes up by referencing the picture (just like jigsaw).

She needs to orientate the cubes in the right direction, and ensure the colours are correct too. This requires a fair bit of concentration.

If in doubt, Boon Xin can always seek her brother’s help. Infact, Boon Yee has problem keeping his hands off the addictive kit :p

It is immensely satisfying for parents to see little minds at work, attempting to solve their tasks by themselves.

With each task completed, Boon Xin’s confidence grows and she attempts the next level. From giraffe to camera to aeroplane, Boon Xin’s imagination is being stretched.

Cube by cube, page by page, Boon Xin could not wait to unravel more quiz.
Thinkers IntelliBox just demonstrated to us that Learning should be FUN !

Recommended for ages 4-7, Thinkers’ monthly IntelliBox will provide materials for 20 days, encouraging parents to engage their child in brain stimulating activities.

Thinkers’ IntelliBox will soft launch at Rise And Shine Expo from 27-29Sep at Suntec Convention Hall 401. Do pop by booth F16 to discover more.

*Thinkers’ IntelliBox is brought to you by ThinkersBox.
Our boy Boon Yee (6) is currently attending ThinkersBox curriculum.

Are you sure this is a Library ?

A larger than life Mario (Where is Luigi?)

Outdoor, we found a mobile library, converted from a bus. The staff told us that the bus will pop by “special” schools during the days, as not everyone can make their way to the nearest library.

Who place all the cardboard cars in the lobby? Kids need no invitation to “drive” off πŸ™‚

Creative Cardboards await at each corner.

Giraffe, robots at the basement !

The children section has been revamped.

Kids just love the mushrooms and flowers.

Both kids and adults cannot resist climbing the stairs up the Tree πŸ™‚

There are a lot of bricks for the kids to play “Lego”. They build castles, bridges, and pathway. Sometimes when they get too rowdy or if the “bricks” are stacked too high, the librarian will step in.

If we are tired, small niche corners encourage families to relax, get comfortable and share a story or two.

At 1230pm, story-telling captivates the kids.

Libraries today has changed a lot. Most parents are glad at the selection and variety of books. Daddy also notice kids running around and screaming.

This is weird, as Daddy grew up with libraries which are mostly quiet (maybe the fierce librarians helps). Maybe some parents need to be reminded that Library is for everyone, please be considerate.
