Review on Mathlink Educational Counting Learning Resources by Chris Sandridge

I have two of these from the same company on Revain. They must be exactly the same. My first set is a dream. I love her. It's so easy to break up and get back together. My 6, 4 and 2 year olds can do it all by themselves and play with it for hours. Recently I broke into the second set as we lost a bit in the first set. The second sentence causes nothing but pain and frustration in my children. They are too hard for my hands and small hands. It was usually a learning tool that I could rely on (no pun intended) for my children to play with on their own without direction from me. But on that second set, they cry and get angry and hurt themselves because they can't get the blocks into the shapes or numbers they want. I am incredibly frustrated with the inconsistencies of a product where one set is amazing and the other isn't. I wanted to buy more for Christmas. I will not. Go elsewhere for number pads, you don't want disappointed kids.
