Game Directions:
- Assemble Color Side! Have your child put the puzzle together, colored image side face up. Parental involvement may be needed depending upon the age of the child.
- Talk about it! Once assembled, the puzzle becomes a "talk about" puzzle, as there are many images in the scene to promote parent-child conversation.
- Assemble White Side! Place all the puzzle pieces with the white side face up. Have your child assemble the puzzle. Parental involvement may be needed depending upon the ability of the child.
- Color and Spell! Once the puzzle is put together with the white side up, it becomes a large coloring and spelling activity! Use the four wipe-off crayons enclosed to color the images and write the words. Once completed, the crayons may be wiped off with a dry cloth.
A NOTE FROM LAURI:
Pieces are a nice size. The puzzle is 5 x 10 puzzle pieces in size, and each puzzle piece is about 3.5" by 4.5". (The assembled size of the puzzle is 2' x 3'.) Little hands are easily able to manipulate the puzzle pieces!
Different levels of play give longer life to the game. There are basically two levels of difficulty that give this puzzle/game longer life. Younger children will be challenged to put the puzzle together, and will enjoy coloring the puzzle. Additional challenge is added when your child is ready to start copying the words on the white side.
Combines math and language, left and right brain skills. I really like the complexity from the puzzle and game combination. Math skills (matching) are used to assemble the puzzle pieces, combined with language skills of learning letters and writing the words.
Keeps the learning fun! This is a great pull-it-out, put-it-away-for-even-more-fun-later opportunity. Once your child has mastered each level of difficulty, you can either continue with the next level, or you can put it away and pull it out a little later. Kids will love the images and look forward to pulling it out the next time, especially when there is something new and fun to try like writing the words! |
