Puzzle it Out: Guidecraft Educational Puzzles
Guidecraft sent me an assortment of their Montessori-style wooden puzzles and the entire family is impressed!
Because the puzzles are open-ended, the educational potential of these puzzles is limitless. Whether you are studying basic concepts, such as shapes, colors, relative size, or counting, or more advanced concepts, such multiplication or fractions, there are plenty of play possibilities to engage your child.
