Dear Parents

Game Idea: Free Play
Free play improves motor skills. Children also become acquainted with colors and shapes. They reach out for the game material, with its special design adapted for children's hands, and place the wooden pieces on the matching color squares of the flowers or in the corresponding punched dips of the butterfly.
Play with your child! Talk about the colors and shapes of the game material in order to stimulate your child's language, auditory and creative skills as well as enhancing the simple enjoyment of playing.
