About them: Square Panda™ was founded by Tom Boeckle, a successful entrepreneur, who struggled with dyslexia as a child. As an adult, Tom made a commitment to do something so that children would not experience the frustration and the embarrassment he did. Besides the phonics playset, the team at Square Panda™ is dedicated to providing other innovative multi-sensory, play-oriented learning devices to children around the world. At Square Panda™, we are creating a new generation of products that let children follow their curiosity through play activities involving both the physical and virtual worlds.
When I heard of the Square Panda Phonics Playset I knew I wanted it for my kids. Both of my girls are in school now full days. My daughter Dakota is five an in pre-k and my daughter Krista is seven and in first grade. They are both working on phonics, reading and reading readiness so I knew this learning tool would be absolutely amazing for them! I was right! I received a Square Panda Phonics Playset for review and to feature in our Holiday Gift Guide and could not be happier with it! It is for ages 2 to 8 and compatible with iPad 3 and newer, iPad mini 2 and newer and Android Tablets with Bluetooth 4.0. When I first saw that it was for iPad I was pretty disappointed since I only do android but after finding out it worked with my android tablet I was pretty stoked. Setting it up is easy and once you do that your kids are ready to play and learn. It has games that are not only fun but teach your child reading skills. Kids play the games on the tablet and use the 45 smart letters to engage and interact with the games. My girls both love it and it is great for both of them and the different levels they are at. I love that it is a mulitsensory learning tool and my kids love that it is fun and entertaining! I have seen a huge growth in Dakota since she started using the Square Panda Phonics Set and her teacher has noticed this growth as well! It teaches your kids the alphabet, exploring letter sounds, learning rhymes and helps build your childs vocabulary. My son Karter is almost two and already learning his alphabet with this playset which is awesome! I look forward to seeing his growth as well. This is an excellent learning tool for your kids and I highly recommend it. It would be a great gift for your kids this holiday season!
