Description
All aboard! This puzzle has 27 jumbo pieces, each illustrated with vivid colors and impressive detail. Puzzle pieces are laid out on the floor, and arranged in a straight line, making a train that, when finished, is over 10 feet long. The first piece of the puzzle is an old-fashioned steam locomotive, and the remaining 26 pieces each depict a brightly colored train car carrying a letter of the alphabet as well as an object that begins with that letter (an apple for A, butterfly for B, etc.) Pieces are self-correcting, so it is impossible to put letters in the wrong sequence. As an added plus, the puzzle is laminated on both sides making for easy clean-up, even if the puzzle has been handled with (uh-oh) sticky fingers. This is truly a unique way to teach alphabet recognition and hand-eye coordination at the same time. Kids will have so much fun, they won't realize they're learning!
