This puzzle will encourage your 3-6 and 6-9 child to develop fine motor skills and hand eye coordination while they absorb the rhythms of the church life. It provides nomenclature associated with color and church seasons for the language explosion of the 3-6 child and the need for understanding time found in the 6-9 child. The pegs represent the weeks for each of the seasons found in the Church year.
This material is designed to sit comfortably on a standard 12 inch shelf. It's footprint is smaller than the traditional CGS prism puzzle.
There are three denominational options:
1. Roman
Seasons: Advent, Sundays of Christmas, Ordinary Time, Lent, Sundays of Easter, Sundays of Ordinary Time
Peg Configuration: Christmas +3 pegs (note the following season has fewer green pegs)
2. Protestant (Advent, Christmastide, Epiphany, Lent, Eastertide, Ordinary Time)
Peg Configuration: Christmas +2 pegs
3. Custom (if you need a different seasonal configuration or peg colors)
Note:
1. The puzzle comes with the two arcs. You can remove them if desired. This leaves a small border.
2. Please be conscious, the week pegs could be a choking hazard for young children.
