Wow! The new products in the Discovery Toys fall catalog are great! As regular readers of this blog know, April Wood, a Discovery Toys Senior Education Consultant, is one of the advertisers on our site, and as such we have been given a sneak preview of the fall catalog!

The traditional Super Marbleworks Raceway Construction set, and the accessory set of extra parts, have been discontinued and replaced with some exciting new sets! This is a favorite in our home, and it is a toy that develops creativity, thinking, and problem solving skills. (Dads love it too!) ;-)

Marbleworks Start Set ($29.99) is similar to the original set with 46 pieces.

The two brand new accessory sets are the Marbleworks Crank-It Up Accessory ($12.99) and the Marbleworks Wild Ride Accessory Set ($14.99).

There is also the Marbleworks Deluxe Set, which is a combination of the other three, and sells for $49.99 (savings of $7.98 versus buying the sets individually!)

(Watch this space for more previews of new fall products, which will be available August 27th online!)

I think I want one of these. Filed under “educational play.” :-)

I just ordered a set of these from Sherry Early over at Semicolon. 52 books, plus her home grown curriculum for $99. Can’t beat it.

The Discovery Toys Think-It-Through Tile System is included in the “End of Season Sale” at Discovery Toys right now! The normal price is $16.99 and it’s on sale for $9.99.

The official product description is:

This learning system reinforces the curriculum introduced to your children at school and challenges them further! Think-It-Through teams children with a series of progressive booklets and an ingenious system of double-sided tiles that actively engage students in the lessons and enhance their studies. Includes sample book with lessons from various sets. Appropriate from 4 years - Elementary School. Additional booklet sets sold separately (Item #’s 3002, 3003, 3004, 3005, 3006, 3300, 3301 & Item # 3007 for the complete set).

It’s a great system with a good range of age-appropriate booklets. Our kids love them. Get ‘em while they’re on sale!! (Click here and then select “End of Season Sale” on the left nav bar).

This is why, despite their incredibly leftist bent, I love the guys at Google.
