Play Tip!
Matching things that go together is a challenging cognitive skill to learn. It involves making a leap from, "this ball is the same as this ball", to "the ball and the bat go together". Things That Go Together uses clearly illustrated two piece puzzles to help children master this important developmental concept. The difficulty level can be adjusted by presenting either more or less options. For example: Does the fish go with the fishing rod or the tree? You can keep adding more choices to make the difficulty level match your child's level of learning. A good way to practice naming things during a fun play activity. Made of heavy-duty coated cardboard stock.

Adapted Art: Painting with Crayon Brix
Crayon Brix can be painted with if dipped in water or used dry like a pastel.
The shape provides a change and a new challenge for budding artists.
If your child has trouble with traditional cylindrical crayons - these may be easier to handle. They are excellent quality with strong true colour. Of course they are nontoxic, although kids should not snack on them! They are not washable so you don't want them used on the walls. And do use a smock!
