Big Sneaky Puzzles

Big Sneaky Puzzles - Find hidden letters and numbers.

Find hidden letters and numbers in Big Sneaky Puzzle, a large-piece, 2-sided, emergency themed floor puzzle.

 

The finished size of this Big Sneaky Puzzle is 2 feet X 3 feet. One side of the puzzle is a large fire engine, the other side is an emergency situation. Embedded in the side with the multiple emergency workers are the numbers 0-9 and letters A-Z. Letters and numbers can be found in different positions (up-side down, right-side up, on their sides, etc.) depending on where you are sitting in relation to the puzzle. 

Embedded letters and numbers are circled.

The 46 pieces stay together well and if you are quick you can flip it to see the truck on the opposite side without too many pieces breaking free. The Big Sneaky Puzzles come in many themes including Dinosaur Land, Enchanted Kingdom and A Day at the Zoo. They also have a line that includes 3D glasses.

Try this:

• Ask the child to sit in a different position in relation to the puzzle each time it is assembled so that he will learn to recognize the letters and numbers in different orientations.
• Turn all the pieces to the correct side before assembling if the child would not be able to accomplish this part.
  Turn a piece in-hand if you pick it up in the wrong orientation for placement.
• Turn all the pieces to the correct side together. Look at the box and talk about the scene (grass, sky, buildings, fire) vs. one big red truck. Then put the box aside. Since the scenes are dissimilar enough, it will be a good chance to visualize the scene as each piece is analyzed for components.
• Work on manual dexterity, in-hand manipulation, visual discrimination, visual closure, spatial relations, visual form constancy, figure ground, process skills, executive functioning skills, play and leisure exploration and participation

In the box: 46 pieces
