Bonus #6: Educational Puzzles
Looking for ‘bookish’ educational activities for kids? These puzzles will knock your kid’s socks off! (Corny, I know!) But really, Aidyn was so excited to get his jungle themed puzzle. He loved it so much we had to also order the space puzzle.
It was so exciting to move from the 100 piece puzzle to the 200 piece puzzle. And even better to join in with him in celebration as he put the puzzle together piece by piece.
These delightful puzzle packs contain a themed jigsaw for children to assemble, as well as a picture puzzle book teeming with additional activities!
