Mini Puzzle Pack - Vehicles

Vehicle-themed Mini Puzzle Pack - 16 vehicles in all

When I saw this cute little puzzle box I thought about the year, when I was a kid, that I got a watch for Christmas. Looking at that small, wrapped box I couldn't fathom what was inside. My mom's only hint was that good things come in small packages. Well, fun things can come in small packages too.

This Vehicle-themed Mini Puzzle Pack measures only 6" x 4 5/8". There are four slide-out puzzle boards and each has a different category and four vehicles. The categories are helping vehicles, water vehicles, air vehicles and construction vehicles. There is a cut-out space for each vehicle and the same picture that is on the puzzle piece is also in the cut-out space on the puzzle board, making it easier to match.

The four puzzle boards each slide into a groove in the storage box and each has a colored tab. The tab color will match the border on each piece of that puzzle. The elastic cord on the box is used to wrap around the tabs and keep the puzzle bases in the box.

Try this:

• Start easy by placing one puzzle board in front of the individual and handing them one piece at a time to place, in the correct orientation. Work up to scattering the four pieces randomly next to the puzzle board, in incorrect orientations. Scatter the four pieces and add a couple that don't belong.
• Work on assembling two boards at a time, then three and four, mixing more and more pieces as you go.
• Take the opportunity to talk about community helpers when assembling the helper puzzle.
• Scatter the puzzle pieces and don't use the puzzle bases. Sort them into four piles by category (or border color) without help from the puzzle base. 
• Scatter the pieces in different orientations before assembling. Turn each piece in-hand to orient for placement.
• Assemble one puzzle at a time and talk about the name of each vehicle and how it is used.
• Work on visual discrimination, visual form constancy, visual memory, manual dexterity, executive functioning skills, process skills, play and leisure exploration and participation
  

In the box: 4 vehicle puzzles, 16 puzzle pieces and 4 bases
