The construction puzzle with cars represents an amazing alternative among jigsaw puzzles in a 2D form.

The child’s goal is to assemble 68 wooden details using patterns of 6 double-sided cards (12 pre-determined patterns). The smart activity with a variety of road vehicles develops vocabulary, construction and replication skills, spatial awareness, attention span, memory, logical thinking, creative and critical thinking, and fine motor skills.

How to diversify interactivity with the construction puzzle with cars:

1. Let the child examine the contents of the box. Show how to assemble a passenger car by using a pattern card. Ask: “how do we call a person, who drives a car?”. Encourage to build a second car with another card. Then suggest making a bus, a truck out of a car, etc.

2. Discuss what other cars could be built from the construction kit parts. Talk about different types of transport (urban, passenger). Ask about the purpose of special vehicles: what is a police car, fire truck, crane truck for? Ask the child to show and name different parts of the car (wheels, windows, body, cab, bonnet, blinker, fire escape).

3. Divide all the assembled cars into two garages. One for passenger vehicles and the other one for special vehicles. Count all the cars. Which garage has more vehicles?

4. Tell your child about safety features on the road (road signs, traffic lights, traffic controllers). Assemble the traffic lights from the puzzle pieces and talk about the meaning of the traffic lights. Explain how to cross the road safely.

5. Trace assembled cars on a piece of paper. Draw a route for the vehicles, directions straight ahead, up, right, down, left, etc.

6. Use the puzzle pieces to play storytelling games with different vehicles.
