Target

The parents and the todler can sit on a chair around a table or on pillows on the flour. In the middle of the room or table are presented some puzzle pieces and a box where the puzzle is represented on. Before they may start with the puzzle, they have to earn the puzzle pieces by playing some collaboration games. When they finish a collaboration game, they get a puzzle piece. When they have collected all the pieces, they can start puzzling.

It is the intention that the parents are going to collaborate with the toddler to make the puzzle in the right way and on time. They need to collaborate and they need to decide who is going to do which part in the activity by thinking about their strengths and qualities. It’s important that every member of the family gets the chance to cooperate, because otherwise the collaboration has failed.

 

Position on the wire

This activity can be put on the position “pull the wire on their own”. We can put this activity on this position because the toddler wants to figure it out his self but they also need the connecting with the parents because they can help the toddler by figure the puzzle out. The toddler learns to see what’s wrong and right because if it would go wrong, the puzzle wouldn’t be right and if it goes right, they can finish the puzzle.
