Nursery World - Off the peg

A round-up of books, puzzles and other resources to help you get the most out of your project on clothes. Jigsaws & puzzles

Jigsaws & puzzles

Provide puzzles and jigsaws to develop children's understanding of clothes, their hand-eye co-ordination and their fine motor skills, and so promote their independence in dressing and undressing.

Getting Dressed is a set of four, 12-piece puzzles showing the stages of getting dressed, with the top six pieces of each puzzle showing the child dressing, and the bottom six showing the ever-decreasing pile of clothes on the floor (Asco, 15.95 for the set).

Starter Peg Boards is a set of three boards on the themes of clothes, home and household items (Asco, 11.10).

Pix and Mix People (Orchard Toys, 5.75) is an engaging 36-card game, in which children can build characters by mixing and matching heads (with hats) bodies and legs.
