Excellent, like new condition - Purchased two similar sets (the other, Lunchbox set is also for sale) our munchkins did very well with that first set and the first deck of this one so we ended up not opening the rest. 52 of the puzzles are still sealed - only one of the puzzles from the open 26 has a bit of a crease (pointed out in the photos) the other 25 are still perfect, and perfectly clean :)
Canadian made, educational children's puzzles to help little ones (and all new comers!) learn the names of common objects, animals and language usage. Three different sets each teach different topics in a similar way by matching and identifying the two-part picture puzzles. The puzzles are large and easy to assemble, each measuring 4" inches x 6" inches (11cm x 16cm) with glossy, easy-clean surfaces. The box is a sturdy, heavy cardboard with velcro closures (measures 14"in. x 7-1/2" in. x 2" in.) and with the puzzles in it weighs nearly 4lbs (making shipping costs prohibitive, so sorry no shipping local pick-up only).
The learning/teaching technique is simple:
• LOOK - By playing with brightly colored picture puzzles, children learn three different topics including My House, Animals, and Simple Words.
• LINK - As children match pictures, they develop language usage skills, hand-eye coordination and memory. It's easy and it's fun!
• LEARN - By associating concepts, words, and pictures children grow to know.That is the beauty of interactive learning.
Sets Include:
1 • MY HOUSE - (open) Each puzzle features items found around the home. Using the puzzles as a guide little ones can practice saying the words. Pick out objects from your own home and discuss how they are used.
2 • ANIMALS - (sealed) Full of fun, cheerful characters sure to be a favourite with munchkins! Discuss where the animals live, what sounds they make and which one would your child thinks would be fun to have as a pet :p
3 • SIMPLE WORDS - (sealed) These puzzles feature basic words to expand vocabulary and help familiarize children with objects found in their daily life. These puzzles can inspire lively discussion between parents and children about everyday language :)
Pick up northside - Afternoons and Evenings - We are a Smoke-free and Covid-free home, we steralize all items for sale and store them sealed in "Rubbermaid Quarantine" as well :)

On a personal note we have experienced just how universal pictures are—our non-english speaking great grandmother picked up a LOT from "playing" these on afternoons with her great-grandchildren :)
