Observation puzzles “Classic Fairy Tales” – 4 flexible, washable puzzles (Akros)

🐺 Four fairy tales your child knows by heart – and four puzzles in which you have to discover what is not visible at first glance. “Classic Fairy Tales” is a set of Akros observation puzzles: once the picture is complete the game is only beginning, because the objects shown in the border still have to be found in the picture itself. Made from a flexible, washable material – so it stands up to daily life in a nursery.

✨ What do these puzzles develop?

• Visual attentiveness – the pictures are deliberately packed with detail, so the search has to be systematic;
• Sustained attention – the task is only finished once the whole picture has been examined;
• Narrative and vocabulary – every puzzle is a familiar story that can be retold;
• Fine motor skills – a flexible piece is gripped differently from a cardboard one and calls for a more precise movement.

🎲 How to play at home?

Start with the most familiar tale – usually Little Red Riding Hood. Once the puzzle is done, hunt for the objects shown in the border: children take to this even more readily than to the puzzling itself. Then ask them to tell the tale from the picture – so one toy gives both a visual and a language task. Got dirty? Wash it, that is what the material is for.

🧑‍🏫 Tips for professionals

The set suits practice in visual scanning and figure–ground discrimination – the child learns to search methodically rather than at random. Familiar fairy tales are a perfect excuse for telling a story from a picture, for sequencing events and for “who?”, “where?” and “what happened next?” questions – which makes the aid valuable in speech therapy work too. The flexible, washable material means it can be disinfected and used in a group every day.

📦 What is in the set?

• 4 observation puzzles: Little Red Riding Hood, The Three Little Pigs, Puss in Boots and Pinocchio;
• Each with a border showing the objects to be found;
