Poor Man's Tree Puzzle

After a week of planets, Bear asked if we could learn about trees.  So I whipped up a tree puzzle using felt, much like I did for the flower puzzle.  Here's what a typical Montessori tree puzzle looks like. 

Here is Bear's felt tree puzzle.  She asked for a nest, eggs and a cardinal, and I happily obliged.

  1. I love these "puzzles"! I think this is the route we'll be going as well, rather than buying all of the wooden puzzles. Thanks for the great idea!

  3. What a ripoff - your puzzle is just as good or better. It's great that Bear is so self-directed in what she wants to learn more about.
