Learning geography through puzzles
Filed Under (Toddler Stuff) by BlurMommy on 05-23-2008
Lately we have been travelling a lot and Lil’ C has been asking a lot of questions about the places that we’ve visited. I figured it is a good time for to learn a little geography especially about the different states that we’ve been travelling to. It is very boring to learn the map on its own. So I tried to think of a fun way to teach her and that is through puzzles.
Ever since she was a baby, Lil’ C has always loved puzzles. I found this photo from my other blog of her playing puzzles while eating.
This was taken when she was 2 1/2 fixing her 60-pieces puzzle. She is now able to fix a 100 piece puzzle easily.Anyway, back to topic, I got her this 84-piece map puzzle.
It took her a while but she finally figured out how to put the map together. Sometimes I will purposely hide a few pieces and she has to figure out which state is missing before I will give her the state. With this puzzle, she is not only learning but most importantly she has fun doing it.
wow ! she’s good!
u know, qiqi so lazy. i got many puzzles for her, but she only wanna fix the 12 pieces one ….
oh wow, she is a genius!
wow…your lil girl is so good. A 100 piece puzzle is not an easy feat.
good idea on the map puzzle.
