EXTENSION ACTIVITIES

Ask the child to line up the pieces, and count them aloud together.
Ask the child to identify all the colors on the pieces.
Help the child to line up the tools from biggest (saw) to smallest (tape measure). Are any pieces the same size?
Identify each tool, and explain to the child what its job is. Encourage the child to act out each job using the board-and-nail illustrations on the puzzle board. (A saw cuts the wood. A hammer taps in nails. A wrench turns a bolt or screw. Pliers grab and pull. Screwdrivers twist a screw into the wood or out of the wood. A tape measure measures how long or tall our puzzle is!)
With all the pieces on the puzzle board, ask the child questions to make up a simple story about the building project. For instance, "What would you like to build with these tools?" or "Should we make a big or small project?"
