Benders®, our bestselling deductive
thinking puzzles, develop the logic,
reading comprehension, and mental
organization skills vital to achieving

Methods
Your child will carefully analyze each
Mind Benders® story and its clues,
identifying logical associations between
people, places, and things. The key is to
start with the most obvious associations,
then deduce less obvious associations
until everything finally fits together.

Comments
from my customers:
"The
MIND BENDERS are a HUGE hit!
Originally I purchased the A1 book for my
9 year old son. This was my first
Bright Minds purchase. My sister
then had a workshop, so I ordered the
second book for my son and the first book
for my 3 year old. by the time I
had my own workshop...surprisingly, it
wasn't my son or my daughter wanting the
next books...it was my Husband! So,
I worked extra hard, had a great show and
ended up getting B1-B4 in the software
version for FREE along with a ton of
other incredible products!
My son absolutely LOVES
Mind Benders!"
"I just wanted to share some more results
with you. My son, Matt, age 7 1/2, has finished his first
Minds
Benders. I am even more convinced than when I made my initial
purchase. Matt and I worked together through the book until about
the last 1/3 of the book when he became independent in solving the
puzzles. Immediately after finishing the book, Matt created his own
Mind Bender puzzle for his father to solve! I've always heard that a
person has mastered a concept when they can teach it back to another
person. He's already begging for the next level in
Mind Benders."
" My daughter really enjoys
the
Building Thinking Skills and
Mind Benders. They are proving to be a great way to keep her
challenged and learning."
What
some Bright Kids
say about
Mind Benders:
I just love the
Mind Benders book. I did two problems in November. Yesterday I started
on problem 3 and I couldn’t stop doing it! I ended up finishing the last
problem today and I can’t wait to start the next
Mind Benders Book.
