Community Helpers Fun-to-Know® Puzzles

• LEARNING PUZZLES KIDS LOVE – Two-sided ... twice the Learning FUN! This award-winning puzzle set is great for teaching kids who is who in their community and introducing careers too. Identify community helpers and their tools by photos and build vocabulary. Self-checking pieces help children practice at their own pace, building confidence and achieving success. Bring hands-on practice to learners in early childhood classrooms, care facilities, homeschools, and to supplement distance education at home.

• BUILD ESSENTIAL SKILLS WITH PLAY – Colorful, engaging photos make learning FUN! Kids love to point out helpers they recognize and the featured tools and vehicles. When it’s fun to learn, children are inspired to keep playing and practicing – keys to successfully building skills and boosting confidence.

• DOUBLE-SIDED FUN! – Connect a helper to a tool on the front, then flip the puzzle over to see another pair! On back, community helper names connect to a photo of the helper.

• EXTENDED LEARNING – Words on the puzzles are great for sparking an interest in reading, and photos reinforce real-world connections. Piecing together puzzles builds hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills, and can introduce shape recognition too.

• SELF-CHECKING FEATURES FOR INDEPENDENT PLAY – The self-correcting features of these early-learner jigsaw puzzles support independent practice and encourage kids to build skills at their own pace. Only the right pieces fit together! When two pieces don’t connect, kids know to search the pile and try again – it’s a great first step to problem-solving and makes each match a feel-good moment. Use the border color on backs to quickly check that all pieces are facing the same way so you can successfully practice one side and then move on to the other side.

• EACH SET CONTAINS – 20 two-piece, two-sided puzzles. Each completed two-piece puzzle is 5 9/16 inches wide x 3 3/8 inches tall. All pieces easily fit into a sturdy, 7½-inch box for quick clean-up and storage.

Helpers include: Bank teller, builder, cashier, chef, dentist, doctor, farmer, firefighter, highway worker, librarian, mail carrier, mechanic, nurse, paramedic, police officer, school bus driver, soldier, teacher, trash collector, and veterinarian.

• GREAT FOR MANY AGES AND ABILITIES – While matching puzzles are a great learning activity for preschoolers and kindergarteners, the real-life photos of these common community members and careers resonate with learners of many ages and abilities in memory care, special education, speech therapy, bilingual classrooms, and more.
