I know everyone knows about puzzles. I love wooden ones, but the ones I love tend to be expensive. I look for puzzles that have realistic images and or gives us plenty to talk about while we do it. I’m posting this though to talk to you about where to buy them. Most of my puzzles are actually second hand. Second hand shops and Op shops are a good source. I also get them from on Facebook Buy, Swap and Sell groups. Join a local community group or a focused toy group in your state or country. The above puzzle was from a Facebook group, I bought a few things to combine postage. The edges are a little worn but still in good condition.

2 years 3 months A really likes this activity. We squirted some paint out - naming the colours, opened up his art book, and used the car to paint with. We talked about how blue and yellow made green. We talked about the tracks the car made. We talked about the ‘farting’ noise the car made as it rolled along 😅 I saw this idea from Play to Learn Preschool. Click the link to go to the original post. The last step was ‘clean up’ which I feel most mummy bloggers don’t talk about 😊

A expressed an interesting us cutting paper. So while he used (real) scissors to cut into paper, I cut up shapes as well. He named the shapes (he got most of them but I had to remind him what a rectangle and a square was). We coated a page in his art book with glue and then he stuck the shapes down.

This Montessori inspired activity uses beans and small bells. The child uses a pair of tongs to transfer the bells into a bowl.

This is a really simple Montessori inspired activity. I bought a bag of coloured wooden beads from a craft shop. The sorting tray was from some Christmas tree decorations a few years ago. I popped a bead of each colour into the tray sections and A went to town. When he made a mistake is really stood out so he could correct it himself, just as he’s doing in the photo.
