Puzzle - Above & Below Sea & Sky, 48 pcs

Bird or fish? With this lovely puzzle, you get both.

Both the pieces and the box are made from recycled cardboard, and the designs are created by artists from around the world and printed with soy-based inks.

Made by Crocodile Creek, a family-run company from Durham, USA.

As you work on puzzles together, your child develops both fine motor skills and patience. Puzzling also helps them learn to see the parts of a whole and how a single piece fits into the bigger picture.

Visual perception - our ability to understand what we see with our eyes - and imagining what’s missing are important skills for learning math and geometry, and for understanding how sentences, sums, knitwear, and so many other everyday things are built around sequences and patterns.

As you puzzle together, talk about life beneath the waves and up in the sky.  Chatting about the different animals in the picture – what the sharks are called and where the rays live – helps expand your child’s vocabulary and knowledge.

48 cardboard puzzle pieces.

Here, essential skills are engaged, which are great for your child's well-being and ability to learn new things:

• Stimulates your child's awareness of shapes/colours.
• Here, you can help strengthen your child's logical thinking skills.
• Invites your child to observe and immerse themselves in the activity.

Measures 50 x 68 cm.
Suitable for ages 4 yrs. to 8 yrs.

Doing puzzles is a fun way to get better at understanding how parts fit together to form a whole and figuring out where each piece belongs in the big picture.

The ability to register something visually and envision a whole (and what parts are missing) is an important skill when learning geometry and math as well as understanding how sentences, sums, or even a piece of knitting, among other things, consist of patterns and sequences.

If the puzzle has a special theme, such as anatomy, jungle animals, or flags of the world, you can help strengthen your child's vocabulary by talking about it.
