Creators of BOB BOOKS/VersaTiles series & STEM at Play!
Kids are out of school most everywhere now and that means fun, but it could also mean they lose a good portion of what they learned over the last school year. Here are a couple of fun games that will keep young minds active and help promote interest in STEM play. 
2019 marked the beginning of a new era for hand2mind. With more than 50 years experience as a leader in educational materials for schools, hand2mind has been bringing learning into homes with their beloved BOB BOOKS® and the iconic VersaTiles® skills practice system for generations.
The Learn to Read with BOB BOOKS® and VersaTiles® series offer a fun puzzle-like way to practice reading! 10-12 Bob Books per set introduce kids to the fun of reading at three levels: Beginning Readers, Advancing Beginners, and Sight Words. Children can practice the skills they are learning by doing activities in their hands-on VersaTiles workbook, which uses simple pattern puzzles to help children comprehend what they are learning and build confidence in their reading abilities.
- Newest editions of the collaboration between beloved BOB BOOKS® and the iconic VersaTiles® skills practice system, which allow for true hands-on learning (meaning unplugged and screen-free in order to explore, discover, and enlighten)
- The latest from the multifaceted STEM at Play! Series, including a sneak peek at an upcoming 2019 partnership with K’nex
BOB BOOKS® and VersaTiles® comes in many sets for age appropriate learning through first grade. You can help them cultivate a love of reading, math and science as they grow from pre-school to first grade and BOB BOOKS® and VersaTiles® are there to help along the way.
