Big Book = Big Fun!,
By Linda "Fine Motor Skills" (READING, PA USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Games Magazine Junior Kids' Big Book of Games (Paperback)
I purchased this book to use with my students to help them develop their visual perceptual, perceptual motor, and problem solving skills. The puzzles vary in presentation and level of complexity, so you will be sure to find something to suit. The kids are having fun, so they forget about the fact that they are also learning important skills.

Great Fun and Educational Book!!,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Games Magazine Junior Kids' Big Book of Games (Paperback)
This is one of those "fun" books that children don't realize is a teaching tool also. We've used this book with students in our school district and it has proven to be a winner. I ordered this one for my grandchildren and they enjoy it tremendously.
