Leaf Puzzle Including Fall Colours
Excellent quality, well made. Would definitely recommend this puzzle. My only recommendation to the manufacturer would be to put the French names perhaps under each piece making the puzzle bilingual.
This beautiful natural wood toy leaf puzzle is designed to help with a lot of areas in botany class.
The leaves are made of their respective woods (oak leaf in oak, Ash made of ash...) so you see how the wood looks like, the grain, the color and the hardness...
Front of the leaf is it's natural wood color (summer is all green, so they were left natural, but the veins are engraved)
Back of the leaves are its glorious fall colors. Learn about chlorophyll (green), carotenoids (yellow/orange), anthocyanins (reds) and their combination.
Trees were chosen that are found in North America with a mix of different leaf shapes, vein structure, leaf arrangements and edges.
Basically it is an entire mini curriculum on leaves.
