Completing this puzzle will encourage your child's learning of the states and territories and develop their recognition of the shape and form of Australia.

This puzzle will assist eye hand coordination, spatial awareness, problem solving skills and fine motor development.

Extend Play and Learning

Read the names of the states and territories to your child. Point out where you live, where interstate family or friends live or where you have been on a holiday. This assists your child to associate names of places to real people or locations they have experienced. Talk about places that are ‘near’ and ‘far’ from where you live and possibly the ‘top’ and ‘bottom’ of Australia.

Using language like this in your discussions will foster learning about spatial concepts and will also enrich your child's vocabulary.
