Description

What our experts think
This Alphabet themed puzzle engages children’s attention and concentration as they fit together the pieces. Once complete, they develop their letter recognition and vocabulary skills by identifying the different letters and words. As children sound out the words with help from an adult, they are developing their phonetic awareness and reading skills.
Puzzles are a great way to develop little one’s logical thinking and planning skills too. While they are following instructions and working together to complete it, they are also encouraged to use directional vocabulary such as ‘next to’ and ‘under’ which is great for boosting their visual and spatial awareness.
