the puzzle is full of different animals, different colors, and many details. as you sit by a child putting it together or you work together on the puzzle with the child, talk about what they see on the box. ask what they think is happening. ask about the family that lives there. this is a wonderful way to build children's thinking, reasoning, and verbal skills.
