'Children are not limited by their literacy skills. Possibly my favourite aspect of this learning resource is that children do not have to be able to read, write or speak at all to be able to excel at LOGICO Primo. In my experience, this is really rare. A lot of learning resources require children to be able to read/write in order to complete the activities potentially putting off children who don't yet have these literacy skills but are capable in other ways. LOGICO Primo allows children to show their true potential at numeracy, strategic thinking tasks etc regardless if they can read, write or even speak yet'.

 

'The range of skills that the LOGICO Primo helps develop is vast! It has the potential to help children develop their logical thinking skills, problem solving, observational skills, numeracy skills, memory etc, with the bonus that they are learning these all through play'.

Children need to learn how to manage their emotions. When children are more emotionally aware and skilled, they can more effectively navigate relationships, calm down and problem solve when challenges arise. This emotions management training resource allows 2 types of adult-children interaction. First, we can require children to identify their negative feelings and ask them to rotate the "What to do" wheel. For example, "When I am upset, I will listen to music." Doing so allows adults to understand children's negative feelings and understand how the children would deal with such emotions and feelings. Adults will provide support if they find problems in the ways children manage their emotions. The other way to play with this board is: adult will first choose an emotion and then asks children to tell what they will do if they are in that emotions and feelings. Age: 3yrs+.

Activity Boards can be used as a floor or table activity, mounted to a wall or with the Activity Board Floor Stand (#35351) and the Table Top Stand (#35352).

Made from birch plywood and beech wood (FSC).
