The kiddos are learning about logic, numbers, words and more while they're having the time of their lives playing games. And they don't even realize how much they're learning. They're just having fun. Games rule. They are such a fantastic tool for homeschoolers.

Did you know that once a month (except November and December) you can go to the Marbles Brain Store (either the Roseville or Mall of America locations in Minnesota) to learn about games there and TAKE HOME A FREE GAME? Such a deal.
