🌿 Teaching Tip from a Montessori Guide
Picture completion teaches children to notice what's missing—a skill fundamental to problem-solving. Unlike puzzles where pieces interlock, these cards require visual analysis: "Which piece finishes this shovel?" The gardening theme makes the work concrete and relatable, especially during the spring planting season when children see real tools in use.
