In this Swedish import, two dozen or so simple activities, organized seasonally, are designed to reinforce basic mathematical concepts (counting, shapes, etc.); unpretentious vignettes feature children happily engaged in the tasks at hand. Many of the activities are pedestrian ("How many snowballs can you make in 1 minute?"), but they will provoke thought and, equally valuably, get kids out of the house.
