NATIONAL PARENTING CENTER

"Imagine a deck of cards where all the familiar suits, numbers and face cards are replaced with notes on the musical scale. That is the premise behind Crazy 8th's. By helping children become familiar with the notes on the treble and bass staffs this game does double duty. Games like Old Maid, Crazy 8's, and Solitaire require a basic recognition of individual notes and the results are superb. Children were firing off note names in no time and playing card games that they had played for years without missing a beat. Parents who were rusty with their musical reading also loved the refresher."

 

DR. TOY

"As a music teacher, Kimberly Hughes wanted to help children learn how to appreciate music. The result is these musical games from TK Designs. They progress from simple to more advanced. This Crazy 8ths pack features 56 musical notation cards and .. rules for 10 popular games including Merry Widow, Prima Donna, Hide N Seek and Play It By Ear."
