It’s amazing how infusing play into these challenges sparks joy and curiosity. Seeing Saaliha team up with her two-year-old friend, Eleanor, adds a sweet social aspect, highlighting the beauty of exploring and working together. That moment of realization, the “Aha” moment, and the satisfaction Saaliha gets from it transport me back to the pure joy of discovering new things. It’s a reminder that learning isn’t just about reaching a goal; it’s about finding delight in the journey itself.

We change the rules and they become our classroom rules. But to watch a child use many different skills that solve a puzzle on their own, without asking for help is amazing. I usually use it as a memorable moment in class and take notes on how they did.

I love how children think and how curious they are about learning new things and the choices they make at ages and stages.
