Lauri Perception Puzzles
My children love these brightly colored puzzles
Little ones need practice in mental exercises, such as perceiving sight differences, so they will be prepared for reading by helping their brains make important neurological connections. In more technical terms, these perception puzzles help your child connect his dendrites to his neurons in his brain, which are the main connections that occur during reading. Thus, you are setting a firm foundation for reading even before you teach your child a letter sound. Isn't that cool? Lauri Stacking Pegs

The shape and color sorterLauri products are excellent to use with a young child while you are working with an older child. The younger child still feels involved in school time, and these products will keep him interested for awhile. This will allow you to concentrate on your older child. I keep the Lauri products hidden away and take them out only during school time, so my children are more focused and excited to play with them during our learning time.
