Make lots of discoveries on the farm!

This large, reversible puzzle with sturdy pieces features 8 delightful farm animals on one side and a cheerful and colourful gigantic farm on the other side. Each of the 8 animal puzzles is made up of 4 pieces; then on the other side, all 32 pieces come together to form the farm scene. Children can learn the animals' names as they assemble and re-assemble the puzzles over and over again.

Quick Instructions: 

Assemble the 8 animal puzzles: Begin by asking the children to piece together the mini animal puzzles. The self-correcting pieces help children to recreate the scenes by themselves. Always encourage them to compare the pieces with the scenes on the back on the box, drawing their attention to the details in each picture.

Discover the farm: Turn over the pieces of the individual mini-puzzles and use them to assemble the farm scene. When complete, draw the children’s attention to the individual features in the farm scene, saying what they’re called out loud. Point to and say “farmer”, “vegetable garden,”, “mill”... Ask the children if they remember the names of the animals and add additional information (we get wool from sheep, milk from cows, eggs from chickens, and so on.) Finally, lay the pieces out on a surface and ask the children assemble the puzzle.
