We are all about adding in the joy of art in our homeschool. And what a fun way to view beautiful pieces of art – holding copies of them right in your hand. Playing a game? Even better! As a parent, I am very impressed with the quality of Art Ditto by Birdcage Press. The children are very impressed with the fun factor.
For ages 4 and up (all my children enjoyed it – from age 4 up to 14):
- Brilliantly-colored cards. Glossy and thick – will stand the test of my rough and tumble household.
- Simple memory game with benefit of learning famous pieces of art.
- Includes 48 tiles – so younger ones can play with just a few and older children can be challenged by using the whole set.
- Easy enough for children to play independently.
For a more advanced way of playing – pretend your are an art collector:
- Eight (8) art collecting cards that show details on one side and full paintings on the other.
- Cards include names of famous artists (hooray! A supplement to our homeschool studies).
- Find the matching tiles and collect them on the cards.
- The cards give a visual of how different artists depict birds, boats, cats, flowers, horses and more.
Need even more of a challenge? Learn words in 4 languages.

Tricia has been homeschooling for over a decade now. She faces a daily dose of chaos balancing the needs of five children from preschool to middle school (and playing educational games) at Hodgepodge.
My daughter is an art lover! This would be wonderful for her! Thanks!
Wonderful giveaway!
we haven’t used many game in our homeschool, other than a few thematic sort of games that are cooperative. I love the idea of combining art and games!!
My son loves when I switch it up and use numerous methods to study and learn. This would be a great addition to our homeschool!
I love using games as a way of getting the older children to teach the younger ones. Plus they have a lot of fun playing them.
I frequently use math games for incorporating math concepts into my homeschool in a fun way, and am always on the look out for other new math games. I also use the pictures from an art game called “Masterpiece” (a very old game that is currently out of print, but you can find it at yard sales and on ebay.)
I love games, so we incorporate them wherever we can.
Most games I use are for math. An art game would be a great addition. Thanks!
We use games as a supplement and try to do a couple each week {at the very least}. I think the kids really retain information this way.
I’m always looking for more games to play for school. We mostly do math games now so this would be a wonderful change!
We have many games for math so this would be a great addition.
We play games all the time they are an intergral part of our learning. Thanks for the opportunity to win these cards.
thanks for the opportunity to win. we do art a lot here, usually daily. we love to draw and make homemade books, etc. vicki
I would love to win this!
I would love to play with this set!
My kids play some educational games on the computer and ipod. We have kids who work at WAY DIFFERENT paces, so playing games together has been a challenge. Now that they are bigger, it will probably work better.
My kids would love the Hodepodge set 🙂
games are great to for review and also to introduce new concepts in a fun way.
We would love to use these beautiful cards in our homeschool.
I mainly use math and language games in our home school. I would love to use be able to use this in our studies!
We actually need to incorporate more games, but we really enjoy doing Friday night family game nights!
Honestly? Some days the games are school. Other days they occupy siblings while someone else is getting some extended one-on-one time with mama.
Thank you!!!!
