I was excited to receive this review product recently, thinking my 1st-grade-son could really benefit and enjoy it a lot. And I was right! He is having so much fun with this game. The Reading Game is a fast-paced memory card game using words. The game comes with 6 sets of memory cards with 6 corresponding readers. The idea is for you and your student to play memory with each set of cards (playing 6 rounds with each set), after every 2 rounds your student then reads 2 test sentences to see how he is retaining the new words he is learning. After the whole set has been played, he is then ready to read the corresponding reader...and has learned 30 new words! By the time your student has played every set of cards and read every reader, he will have learned 180 words. Of the 25 most common English words, 23 are on that list; of the 50 most common words, 42 are on that list. So this little game of reading really does prepare your student well. The readers are illustrated with cute ...
When we bought our very first house some 10 years ago, it came with this little *treasure*. I have never really decided what to do with it, but I just can't give it up. I'd love to have some cool idea for a project for it.

I could see it used like one of those miniature shelves, hanging on a wall. I don't know if you collect little things or have little things, or even want to have little things, but it's an idea.
You could also use it as an art tray for the kids art supplies. If you want to keep it super clean on the inside you could line the cubbies with plastic cups or something to keep the pencils and stuff from marking up the wood.
You could also use it in a similar fashion for scrapbooking supplies, and I would definitely line the cubbies with something.
I'm out of ideas off the top of my head.
Can't wait to see what you end up with. Please share when you do!
Maybe you could hang it on the wall in your son's room and he could put his little cars and collectible toys in it, using it as a display case? Or hang it in the family room to hold CD's -- would they fit in the cubby holes? Mayme rolled up newspapers and magazine? Or Mail? Or how about towels in the powder room?
Start a shot glass collection and display them in it?
How about hanging it in the kitchen and fill it with small spice jars, and jars of beans and rice, etc?
Hang it in the garage and use it to hold jars of screws and nails and small tools.
Make it into a small side table by adding legs and a glass top?
A million possibilities ..I'm curious what you come up with!
