  2. I love the concept of education as play. Recently wrote a plug for play in regard to teaching history, myself. I am a homeschooling mom with a six year old who would prime for this kind of learning. I just found your site and am trying to get all the info I can. Very exciting to hear about your soon coming Kick-starter campaign. Keep me in the loop. 🙂
