Not your average puzzle… this awesome turtle puzzle is GIANT
(52” x 25.5” assembled) and so well made with 100 thick, sturdy pieces that are
double-sided. Learn about the inner workings of a turtle as you assemble the
detailed anatomy side, learning from the large Anatomy Guide and Fun Fact Sheet
as you go! Then flip the pieces and put together the exterior side, to see how
it appears in nature. A fun, educational activity that the whole family can
enjoy doing together!
Note: All ages can participate, but younger kids will
likely find this puzzle challenging without help. One tip is that the anatomy
side of the turtle has puzzle pieces that are slightly glossy while the
exterior side has a very matte finish. Laying them out as “all glossy” or “all
matte” will be very helpful at the start!
Publisher's Description of Turtle Animal Anatomy Floor Puzzle (100 pieces)
Snap together a typical terrapin with this Pond Slider Turtle Puzzle. Trachemys scripta
inhabits much of the eastern United States and northern Mexico, sunning
on logs and rocks when not swimming for a meal. This social emydid has
been patrolling fresh water and nearby shores since before the
tyrannosaurs!
Make room to be amazed as the assembled 100 pieces span 52 inches!
Soak up twice the learning in the double-sided Turn N Learn puzzle
series. Either arrange this reptile's shelled exterior as it appears in
the wild or flip the pieces over to assemble its anatomy as drawn by a
Certified Medical Illustrator. Contextualize what you see with the
included fun fact sheet and anatomy guide.
These 100-piece, reversible floor puzzles are SO cool! Pick
which side to do first, the beautiful exterior of the animal or the
scientifically accurate inside anatomy. They are huge – around 4 feet each,
making the finished product even more fun to assemble and learn from! Artwork
is detailed and the colors are vivid and bright. If you have a glass table, you
can see both sides at once! Each animal includes an Anatomy Guide and Fun Fact
sheet to deepen your learning experience. When the fun is done, each puzzle
stores nicely away in the sturdy box with Velcro closure.
