Super Mind

Made in the United States!

I often write about my personal experiences with some of the products we sell when I have used or use the item at home with my own children. This is such a case. So, as your web developer (and the father of two children) I would like to tell you about Super Mind from my own personal experience.

Many of the games we feature at Live And Learn are not very popular or big sellers nationally. Therefore, you may never have heard of them before. But just because a game or toy is not advertised on television is not a reason to ignore it!

Live And Learn may be in business to make money, but we are also committed to bringing you the best products available today. And to us, a truly good game is a game which is fun, entertaining, challenging and educational.

And Super Mind is that plus more!

Not only did my children love this game when they were younger, they were challenged by it. And in my opinion, Super Mind helped them learn to think logically.

Even today, I can see the results of playing with Super Mind when my daughters do a newspaper Jumble in a matter of seconds...whereas I often can't complete the Jumble no matter how much time I have!

Although my children have outgrown this game now, I have passed our much loved Super Mind on to a younger neighbor.

Super Mind has received numerous awards and accolades. It received a Parents' Choice Award. It was hailed by authoritative experts on child development including Susan Amerikaner and Sarina Simon. It was also nominated on numerous occasions to the Toy Hall of Fame and received the Teacher's Choice Award!

Super Mind is a tangram type game. Tangrams by definition are a Chinese puzzle made by cutting a square of thin material into five triangles, a square, and a rhomboid  which are capable of being recombined in many different figures.

This game comes with many more shapes and the goal is to eventually be able to combine the shapes into specific patterns of figures, animals, people, etc. The sets begin with easy challenges (to build confidence) and progress to harder challenges for the child.

Although it can be played with a friend, it is best suited for playing alone. Super Mind is a structured tangram set. Tangrams need to be made from a series of 30 puzzles which become more challenging as the card number increases. It begins easy enough for any child to enjoy, but eventually children learn by themselves to build and solve some very complex puzzles.

Children learn to think for themselves. And they get to accomplish rewarding tasks independently without competitive pressure.

Super Mind comes with 32 shapes, 30 pattern design cards and a storage try. The manufacturer recommends Super Mind for ages 5 to 9.
