The first basic 3 letter crossword is a much loved activity, as they try to understand the image and translate it as a word on the grid. Here, the tortoise's back adds to a fun background to carry out this puzzle exercise with visual cues of images. Turning words into word plays at this age will make a cruciverbalist out of every child!
Set includes one wooden tortoise with a removable wooden shell on which we can write with a chalk, 6 cards printed back to back with the crossword clues and 2 chalk pieces.
Size of tortoise - 39 cm x 27 cm x 1.2 cm
As children begin to learn and improve their vocabulary, they are ready to acquaint themselves with sight words (See How).
