Egg and Dino Puzzle - Kiddie Connect

^{This puzzle helps to develop the fine motor skills of grasping, holding, and placing. It is practice for improving hand-eye coordination. This playful puzzle features 2 layers; 1 layer has 6 different-sized dinosaurs underneath 6 different-sized eggs. Crack open the eggs and see what is inside.} 

^{Some ideas for enhancing and encouraging play and learning:}

• ^{Find the dinosaur. Is that a triceratops?}  
• ^{What colour egg is it in? Can you match the dinosaur to the egg?}
• ^{Talk about each dinosaur.  What noise do you think this dinosaur made? Is it a carnivore, a herbivore or an omnivore?}

• ^{Have the child identify these dinosaurs from photographs in a book or on the internet. This will allow the child to make the transition from the stylized representations of the puzzle pieces to the real dinosaurs.}

^{Children will love experiencing open-ended play and can use the easy-to-grab chunky animals to play with.}

^{Suitable for ages: 18 months+}
