Learning With Wooden Puzzles


Puzzles are a great way to learn about animals. Take for example this 48-piece wooden puzzle. This will open discussion about all the animals in the rain forest. You can talk about ants, or toucans, butterflies or snakes. Here is a challenge for you. Can you pick out the slowest animal in the world? Well if you picked the sloth hanging in the background, you are right. The sloth moves at a surprising speed of 0.124 miles per hour. That is just five times faster than a snail. See you already learned something and you didn't even assemble one piece yet. Does this make you want to sit down with a child and work on some wooden puzzles together?
