Fun Therapy - Day And Night Puzzle Blocks

 

                                            

Day and Night Puzzle Blocks game is a great way to nurture multiple skills such as fine motor skills, visual skills, matching, thinking skills and problem solving skills in our children. 

This games comes with colourful blocks and twenty pattern cards. The cards are a mix of day and night cards. In the day cards, the blocks are in full colour and the kiddo has to replicate the pattern. In the night cards, the blocks are shadows and it becomes a little challenging as your kiddo has to identify the blocks that will create these shadows and stack them accordingly. Let's take a look:

You can get creative and make your own cards and patterns to suit your child's needs. We had a similar game from Smart Games and loved it. This one is more pocket friendly, so when I came across it, I wanted to share with you all right away. Hope you found this review helpful. Do reach out if needed, please don't hesitate.
