They are so cautious to not bend the corners and put them away neatly and carefully so that, in their own words, \"we'll have them FOREVER!\" Although we haven't had a chance to play the Tiny Dot game yet, the students a excited for the day we get to open the box and learn how to play it.\r\nThank you again for your donation.
