A puzzle designed to assist with the development of a number of essential cognitive skills.  It offers the opportunity to develop problem-solving skills, numerical understandings, logical thinking, shape and colour recognition and seriation (a fundamental sorting skill which relates to recognition of relative size and patterns). There is also an opportunity for the development of tower building the fine motor skill involving placing and balancing.

Ideas to enhance learning and play:

• Making a rainbow.  Once the colours are learnt then may follow the introduction of the concept of smallest to largest or largest down to smallest. Pick and place the smallest piece of the rainbow.  Which piece comes next? Or pick and place the largest piece of the rainbow etc.
• This seriation can also be repeated with the birds
• The pieces can also be used separately away for the puzzle base for building and balancing towers of rainbows or birds or birds on top of rainbows.

An educational puzzle which offers learning across all preschool milestones. At its simplest, it can be used for the basic shape, number and colour recognition and at its most complex for development of numeracy skills, in particular the understanding of the concept of parts of a whole or fractions.

Some examples of ways to encourage the development of logical thinking and foundation numeracy skills:

• Suitable for ages 3+
• Looking at and naming the shapes of all the pieces
• Looking at and discuss the different colours
• For older children, the concept of parts of a whole can be discussed.  The blue circle is one whole but what is different about the other pieces?  For example, there are 4 orange squares but when put together they make a whole. This is an opportunity to talk about quarters.  Later, during the school years, this puzzle can be revisited to help with the understanding of decimals, for example, 25% instead of a quarter.

A sophisticated educational puzzle which offers learning across all preschool milestones. At its simplest, it can be used for basic shape and colour recognition (including shading) and at its most complex for development of numeracy skills, in particular the understanding of the concept of parts of a whole or fractions.

Some examples of ways to encourage the development of logical thinking and foundation numeracy skills:

• Looking at and naming the shapes of all the pieces.
• Looking at and matching the pieces that are similar colours.  Why are these colours both the same but different?
• For older children, the concept of parts of a whole can be discussed.  The yellow circle is one whole but what is different about the other pieces?  For example, there are 4 pink squares but when put together they make a whole.
