A double layer puzzle showing the growing baby. This puzzle has been designed to have all the great attributes of a puzzle plus it helps children to understand where they come from in a non confrontational way. Especially great for children about to have a new brother or sister. The top layer shows the Pregnant mother whilst the bottom layer shows a baby in the womb. This helps children to understand the amazing process of human growth and development.
Puzzles with more than one layer have more than one objective. The many layers will increase the difficulty of the task and they allow children to understand more than one angle of the concept being taught. Children have difficulty with concepts that are not easy to see, showing them on different layers gives the concept has more clarity. The concept of layers builds on the child’s excitement of discovery, the hidden layers encouraging them to look deeper.
Puzzles with more than one layer are an exciting experience and also increase the task of sorting, which is an important skill in grasping mathematical concepts. Multi-layers also show what is beneath the surface or another view or what is inside which will increase a child’s learning experience. These puzzles are an extension of the flat tray puzzle teaching children all the basic skills they need. Development of skills such as visual motor, proprioception, vestibular, tactile and fine motor, all pre-reading and mathematical skills. These are essential for a child’s early childhood development.
