I Can Do That! Games is a three year old company that designs games that inspire confidence and positive social interactions for children and their families. Through research, innovation, and the help of thousands of play-tester families, they make games that enrich people's lives and with over 40 Industry Awards under their belt, you can be assured of learning and fun when you pick up an I Can Do That! Game.

Now most preschoolers are crazy about Dr. Seuss books, so the the team from I Can Do That! decided to put together a Dr. Seuss Christmas package that your little one will love.

The Crowning Glory of this pack is the Dr. Seuss What's In The Cat's Hat game


In this fun, multisensory exploration game, one player hides a household object of their choice inside the hat and the other players use questions, clues, and the hat's fun interactive exploratory features to discover what it is. Is it something we eat? What room does it belong in? Not sure? Try feeling the hat with your elbows, poking your finger through a hole, or looking at the object through the magic crystalline window.

This PAL Award winner encourages the development of sensory skills, memory, deductive reasoning and creativity. I know Bunny girl will have a blast with this game and I actually think this will make a great gift to even give your child's preschool teacher to use during classroom sessions.


Another great game is the Dr. Seuss Matching game



It's the classic game of picture matching, now celebrating the whimsical world of Dr. Seuss! Flip over two tiles and discover cherished characters like The Cat in the Hat, The Grinch, Yertle the Turtle, The Sneetches, and many more. Did you find a match? If so, keep them in your scoring pile and take another turn. If not, turn them back over—but try to remember what pictures they had for later in the game. Collect the most pairs to win!

We've played Memory Match games with Bunny girl even before she actually turned three. Hubby and I do know her memory skills have been sharpened with the number of match/memory card games she has played over the past year and a half. This is a fun game to play with your child especially if he/she is familiar with all the Dr. Seuss characters. You can even make playing this game a family event, if you bring it out the next time relatives visit. There are no age limitations. (You can never be too old to sharpen your memory skills!)


And finally, a neat stocking stuffer for your little puzzle enthusiast. You can choose from any of the three Dr. Seuss 24 piece jigsaw puzzles or maybe even just get all three and wrap it up and place these under the tree!



Join the Cat, Sam-I-am, and the Fox in Socks for some puzzling fun! How many silly Seussian objects can you identify? Can you find the fish and the dish? How about the mouse in the house? See Sam and his green eggs and ham? The word is written beside each object to encourage early readers. With 24 pieces in all, these puzzles offer learning fun that’s just right for preschoolers.
Each puzzle encourages shape identification and puzzle building. Though the puzzle may be easy for your 4 year old to put together, the finished puzzle can be used to help encourage your child to identify, recognize and read the words featured on the same.

So are you all set to WIN WIN WIN a pack of Seuss-tastic Christmas goodies for your little 'Cat In the Hat' fan?

Bunny girl is crazy about Dr Seuss, thanks to my sister introducing her the world of rhymes, Thing 1 and Thing 2, Green Eggs, The Cat in the Hat and more Seuss-citement! She was naturally thrilled to tear open the package to find herself staring at this.....

The Cat In The Hat Knows A Lot About Things dvd!

This is a great dvd from the educational stand point as it challenges a child to expand his/her vocabulary (Thanks to the Cat's continuous rhyming) and teaches him/her interesting facts in a fun, oblivious way.
For instance, the first episode teaches the young viewer how bees make honey.

I also love the way the Cat insists the kids ask their parents permission before they go off on their adventures and how he always insists they buckle up before setting off.


The five episodes featured are

• Show Me The Honey
• Migration Vacation
• I Love The Nightlife
• Oh Give Me A Home!
• Many Ants Make Light Work
  
  

This September 7 2010 release from NCircle Entertainment has an approximate run time of 60 minutes and also includes additional bonus features - Fish facts, Hat Chat, Thing Things and Songs.

I hope this won't be the last Cat In The Hat release as I personally think preschoolers, kindergartners and first graders will love to spend time with the Cat learning more about the world they live in.


Buy it:

You can buy The Cat In The Hat Knows A Lot About Things dvd for a reduced price of 11.99 US$


Win it:
