Puzzle Pieces

 

Puzzles are an important piece of the MCP curriculum.  If you are working with your preschooler at home make sure you have a wide variety of puzzles.  This is one of my favorites because it is hard and the kids love it.  There is great reward in solving a difficult puzzle.

Veggie straws to sort and create patterns.

Goldfish and Teddy Grahams for sorting, counting and patterns.
