Nifty Plates from the Fifty States: Take a Ride Across Our Great Nation*Learn About the States from Their License Plates!
Product ID: 1705375
More than 1,000 fascinating facts are packed into this cool travel kit for kids, which contains an informative book, 50 die-cut color license plate cards, a map of the USA, and four pencils and pads kids can use to track each state’s license plates whenever they’re in the car. (Whoever identifies the most plates from different states wins!) All cards include the state capital and an image of the state flag, along with historical tidbits, current statistics, and notes on each state’s most famous residents. And to keep things organized, the cards are tied together with nylon cord and packaged in a license plate designed box. No parent should leave home without this! Review: BEWARE! - After having this in the car for a couple months, my kids have become obsessed with license plates! We are frequently ordered to drive around the block again because the kids didn't see the origin of an out of state plate on the first pass. Sure they have learned all sorts of facts about the United States, but now they want us to plan road trips to capture one's we haven't seen. Where does it end? In all seriousness, this is a really fun activity that reinforces geography and state facts. It makes long road trips or even trips across town more fun. I wish the cards had a binding or a ring to keep them together, but it's also fun for each child to have a few cards to read separately from others, so not that big of a gripe. Pull the trigger on this one if you're thinking about this purchase, you won't be disappointed. Review: Fun for kids - My granddaughter wanted to start keeping track of all the plates she sees so this turned out to be the best thing I could find. It gives you a plate for each state as well as facts about the state. My granddaughter is 9 so I thought this might be a little young for her but it isn't at all. It is durable and will last for a while

Perfect for your little geography buff
My daughter is really into license plates. These cards are well made with lots of great info on the back like capitals and info about each state

Fabulous but slightly out of date
This is a gift for my son's seventh birthday. I think he's going to LOVE the large, colorful images and state statistics on the reverse. The "book" is actually individual cards bound with a red cord, so the heavy-weight cards can be read or displayed individually. My only complaint is that our home state's plate is out of date by several years.

License plate game
I purchased this for my kids (age 8 & 9) at Christmas. Even if we are only going for an hour away trip my kids grab this. It is very well put together. When they find a new plate they read info sheet to us and ask us questions to see if we can guess some of the facts about that state. I would recommend.

Great for kids that like to identify license plates
Only shows one plate for each state (and most states have multiple options...) but my kids love the paper pad of states checklist and have used it on trips (you can cross of a state when you see a lp from that state).
