This is truly a "busy-box" that has fun things to do and is Educational. My son is 3.5 and he loves it, so I love it. I'd buy it again. Kindergarten is no longer a fun little class where you begin to learn. (like in my day 50'COUGH'40 yrs ago) Kids now-a-days have to practically have a college education before they'll let you in! I love learning myself, and knowledge *is* the key to success (imho) but wow! and while I'm glad I can still afford to have my son in preschool 2 days a week, we needed something at home, and Ready, Set, School Activity Box is really great! It includes:

1. Washable notebooks including a washable felt marker.
2. A cute little tennis shoe with BIG laces and a fun little chart to teach how to tie a (bow) shoe lace (yes even though most of the world is now velcro)
3. Plastic scissors for children under 5! (hard to find in my area)
4. Stickers, crayons, stencils
5. Writing by tracing letters (abc's), dot-to-dot, shapes, colors, numbers (on above notebooks)

This is a great buy, whether you're a busy parent, or aren't crafty enough to make the things in the box.
