how often did you repeat the activities after completing them

0-1 times, generally, owing to waning interest levels. More often tried to find other ways to explore the concept. But I'm probably less "pushy" than I could be :) What's been your experience so far?

We've only gone through them once (0-10 set), I asked because I wasn't sure how much repeat value or interest people found in them. Do you do other things with the blocks + episodes besides the listed activities?

With the blocks, I'll pull them out again soon actually to start introducing division and multiplication concepts.

No, we didn't. Have you tried it?

Nope just saw it's from the same people it popped up when looking into numberblocks

does the block set link the name of the episodes to watch with it? for those who've never seen the show

It does. Depending on how much you care about "noisy" shows, you may even want to try just doing the numberblock activities without watching the shows and seeing if they're interesting enough. That's what I ended up doing with our second kid, because I found the show too fast-paced for my own brain. (Oz didn't have the same experience of the show qaulity). It's the blocks themselves I liked the most.

This will be very good for airplane rides where we let her watch shows. It makes a lot of sense, to be able to see all the manipulations. I find almost every show she watches obnoxious but at least she will get some reps in here seeing the number representations. And having a show seems like a nice carrot to encourage her to do the activity
