Let me tell you a little about why I am so impressed...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I'm the mother of 8, with 6 still at home. I homeschool my children, and 4 of them happen to have Down syndrome. Jenessa, my 10 yr old (with DS) is a whiz on the calculator, but has a hard time understanding how\/why numbers added together equal another number. She can add 38 + 99 on her calculator and give you the correct answer, but it really has no concrete meaning for her. After playing with Inchimals just once, I actually saw that she was UNDERSTANDING the addition concept, the 'why' and 'how,' and I was blown away by how quickly she picked it up!! WHAT AN AWESOME GAME!!! I can't wait to play it more, and introduce it to my younger children. I think it's going to help all of them grasp concepts that have alluded them for so long.\"\u003cbr\u003eDebbie\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- END LEARN MORE --\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Fat Brain Toys","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":35290231177380,"sku":"391-404","price":34.95,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Kit Item","offer_id":35290231210148,"sku":"391-404","price":0.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0436\/9045\/9300\/products\/391-404-2.jpg?v=1595332422","url":"https:\/\/timberdoodleshort-com.myshopify.com\/products\/inchimals-by-fat-brain-toys","provider":"timberdoodleshort.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
