Kid Scoop Superhero Wonder Wedge works without worry, whispering words of wisdom while wiggling a wonderful wedge. The wedge is a handy tool designed with sloped sides that hold things apart so you can cut, separate, or split objects with ease! Wedges are all around us—from your front teeth, to a dinner knife, to a pair off scissors, and more. Join Wonder Wedge in a lab experiment that demonstrates how a wedge and screw are alike, discover different ways wedges are used in daily life, and widen your writing wonderfully while creating fun and silly alliterated sentences. Next time you slice a wedge of cheese or cut a piece of birthday cake, you’ll be ready to dazzle folks with your wacky wedge wisdom!
