I enjoyed doing tanagrams as a kid, but absolutely fell in love with them during my student teaching days. I think they teach a variety of skills, including problem solving. I've been looking for a set for my kids and most of them have one puzzle or are entirely too expensive. When I had the opportunity to review these for Lewo Toys, I was excatic. These are even wooden, guaranteeing years of fun!
This set includes 60 pieces, and a wooden box for storage. The shapes are wooden as well! Not only will this amazing set create hours of fun, but an educational experience for kids aged 3 to 12. These wooden piees have no splinters and seem to be painted with lead-free paint. (From what I have read, everyone has had negative results with lead tests, although I do not have a tester.)
The quality of the Lewo Toys I have used is incredible, this set is no different. I love the kids having wooden manipulatives, as apposed to plastic or foam, and they last longer.
While I do use some montessori techniques with Tbomb, he learns in a way similar to mine, smany times, I can tell him something and he remembers. With Kodabug, I can already tell that she is more of a hands-on learner, which means that I will be doing a lot more montessori techniques with her. I love these because while they are great for Tbomb, they will be neccessary for Kodabug!.
