  • Einstein’s riddle

    Einstein’s riddle

    A lot is said about Einstein. Much of it cannot be proved. Such as the theory that Einstein is the inventor of the logical puzzles, also called “Einstein’s Puzzle”. Whether this is true or not is not important here. There are many variations of the Einstein puzzle. Einstein is said to have claimed that only 2% of the world population can solve this puzzle. We make the bold antithesis that anyone who can read and combine carefully can solve this puzzle. Even children, although they might need some help according to age and reading experience.
    We have converted the Einstein riddle into a child-friendly version. There is no smoking or drinking alcohol, but there are sweets and non-alcoholic beverages. The question remains the same: Who has fish?

  • Monster reading

    Monster reading

    Today’s freebie is monster reading puzzles. First, the children cut out the pictures. Then, they read the instructions and place the images in the correct place. This trains attention, visual and spatial perception, and accurate reading. Cutting and gluing the pictures is good for fine motor skills. An alternative is to read the instructions to the children. This trains careful listening.
    We like these reading puzzles a lot, because children practice different perceptions and accurate reading or listening. Also, the children have great fun and are happy when all the pictures are in the correct place.
