Wooden Puzzle - Chunky Number Math Puzzle, 27 pcs

This activity benefits essential skills which are wonderful for your child's well-being and ability to learn:

• Stimulates your child's awareness of shapes/colours.
• Stimulates hand-eye coordination, which is used for example when we throw, kick, or catch the ball that comes flying at us in PE class, or when we cut a precise line with a pair of scissors or need to pour water into a glass without spilling and making a mess.
• This type of play teaches your child about quantities, numbers, and other basic math.

Measures 28.5 x 27,5 x 1,8 cm.
Suitable for ages 3 yrs. to 6 yrs.

Doing puzzles develops your child's fine motor skills and patience. Also, putting the pieces in place is a good way to get better at understanding how the pieces fit together to form a whole and figuring out where each piece needs to be placed in the big picture.

Being able to perceive 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 sums, sentences, or a piece of knitting, among other things, consist of sequences and patterns.

Many puzzles have a special theme or topic, which you can talk about while you place the pieces. This is a great way to strengthen your child's vocabulary about e.g. animals, flags of the world, or our universe.
