🎃 Teaching Tip from a Montessori Guide
Two-piece puzzles are sensorial preparation for so many future skills. When children match these image halves, they're training their eyes to notice details, compare shapes, and solve spatial problems. These are the exact visual discrimination skills they'll use when distinguishing between similar letters like "b" and "d," or when working with geometric shapes. Start with one puzzle set, let them master it completely, then introduce another. Mastery builds confidence, and confidence fuels the desire to tackle harder challenges.
