Review: What's New? What's Missing? What's Different?

Homeschooling is hard and often times I've found my kids just need something fun to break up the day.  Even though Issac is in 6th grade I will often choose items for him that are lower grade levels for several different reasons. He needs more review and often times he will forget something that is considered a lower grade level skill, but we are able to easily review and remember it again with fun games or workbooks.  We have spent a little time recently playing around with What's New? What's Missing? What's Different? which is part of the  Timberdoodle First Grade Kit This book is quite a bit under Issac's grade level, but it's one of those skills I thought we might need to quickly review. 

This was a fun little book to work in because it had three different things to work through. As the title suggests there are new things, missing things and items that are different.  There are pages that you have a picture on the left side and then circle the items that are different on the right side.

There are quite a few pages to try and continue drawing items or drawing items that are a part of a larger picture. Issac didn't quite care for these type of pages as much. He said he couldn't draw well enough.  For example there might be a musical instrument and they give you what's missing and ask you to draw part of the item.

Some of the pages you had to find the matching pairs and I think that was Issac's favorite part of this book!!

This is a really cool book whether you purchase the First Grade Set or just purchase the  What's New? What's Missing? What's Different?  book by itself. There are so many different types of pages and quite a bit on each page that this book could easily last for quite a while. It would be a great book to keep in the car for long car rides or in a bag for those often long doctor's appointments.  This book could easily be used by several grades above first or for just a fun booklet by the older kids.
