\"Junior<\/p>\n

My family has been ordering educational products through Timberdoodle<\/a> for decades. So when Timberdoodle approached me about reviewing a new set of Junior Rainbow Pebbles<\/a>, I agreed without hesitation.<\/p>\n

\"Junior<\/p>\n

The set comes in a sturdy cardboard box that is easy to open and close, but durable enough to withstand lots of repeated play. <\/p>\n

\"box<\/p>\n

It includes a bag of 18 synthetic “stones” in six subdued, sort of “earthy” shades. Made from eco-friendly rice stems and hulls, the pebbles come in a variety of standardized shapes.<\/p>\n

\"colorful<\/p>\n

The set also includes eight, double-sided pattern cards (that’s 16 designs total). Each card features two to nine blank spaces for kids to cover with rainbow pebbles. <\/p>\n

\"puzzle<\/p>\n

The cards function a little like a puzzle, but don’t require quite as many fine-motor skills to successfully complete. For that reason, Junior Rainbow Pebbles<\/a> can be enjoyed by children as young a 18-months old.<\/p>\n

\"great<\/p>\n

I’m always on the lookout for educational toys and games to engage my grandkids, who visit several times a week. They served as guinea pigs when it came time to take this set for a test drive.<\/p>\n

\"a<\/p>\n

The little ones loved it, just as I suspected. But I was surprised by how quickly the older kids and grandkids congregated to get in on the action.<\/p>\n

\"trying<\/p>\n

Fortunately, there were plenty of supplies for almost everybody to work at the same time.<\/p>\n

\"More<\/p>\n

And with very satisfactory results. Don’t these look cute?<\/p>\n

\"finished<\/p>\n

Even the adults had to take a turn at completing a few cards. What a calm and relaxing activity!<\/p>\n

\"fun<\/p>\n

The set includes a variety of designs, some more detailed than others.<\/p>\n

\"completing<\/p>\n

If you have little ones — and especially if you have limited space — I recommend giving Junior Rainbow Pebbles<\/a> a try. <\/p>\n

\"our<\/p>\n

This compact set takes up far less storage space than an equivalent number of standard wooden puzzles. And, unlike standard puzzles, your Junior Rainbow Pebble<\/a> designs can still be completed, even if your kids lose a pebble or two.<\/p>\n
