Good Shepherd and Two Sheep Puzzles (Individual)

These three puzzles are appropriate for the 18 month to 3 year-old child.  These puzzles will encourage your child to recognize the Good Shepherd and some of his flock.

By using these simplified puzzles, objects are isolated and the young child can focus on the shape and nomenclature for each individual item.

The young child can trace the items with their fingers (as in a traditional Montessori lesson).

These puzzles are NOT painted.
