Although the name implies “small” Zillio Mini Mountain is anything but at 18 inches wide and 8 inches high. If you’re looking for really large, try the Zillio Mega Mountain. It’s a definite attention getter and really neat way to teach math to kids. Both our children were immediately drawn to the bright colors and interesting shape. We decided on Mountain Goat Scramble II as our first game. While our kids were a little young to test it out, our visiting nephews were perfect subjects. With two engineers and some really bright kids, our group broke out into a mathematical frenzy of multiple moves to climb our “goats” up the board. Although the game was quite competitive, I squeaked out the win, and my family insisted my mathematical wizardry was simply due to the luck of the dice. I disagree, but either way we all had a great time using mathematics without even realizing it at the time. I definitely plan on introducing both my children to the Mini Mountain Game and 2D Playground, a laminated flat version of the Mini Mountain that can be used as a game board or poster, in the near future. Being an engineer, I know the value a solid math background can provide and feel that the Zillio Games can assist in preparing the educational foundation for possibly another future engineer in our family.

I absolutely love Zillio. I was just recently introduced to this at the recent Homeschool convention. It is just fanatastic. This makes math fun. All of my children learn great with games and this is just the way to teach them math with fun games. I also like the Simon Says game.Thank you!tatertot374@sbcglobal.net

I'd love the mini mountain for my daughter. The colors alone will get her interested in this toy, and the fact that it will help her with math skills makes me very happy.

My hubby loves mathematical challenges like this game, and would enjoy "teaching" our daughter math in a fun way!

i've never heard of this before. It looks very unique and I think my kids would love it.

I think my daughter would love this because she's a very hands on learner who LOVES blocks and building of any kind. This would be perfect for our homeschool. crayolaswap at hotmail dot com
