A colourful and engaging workbook, it offers 48 fun activities, organized into 4 sections of increasing complexity, to develop reasoning and logical thinking in 4-year-old children:

  • visual skill
  • sorting and classification skills
  • logical-deduction
  • spatial orientation

The essential setting of the page and the simple and immediate instructions make the autonomous execution method explicit to the children (with the mediation of an adult to read), which involves connecting, circling, cutting out and pasting. At the end of the sections there are 4 puzzles which, when put together, will create a great scenario to play with.

In this adventure, children have to help Mrs. Tiger and her friends solve puzzles and logic games.

The series The mini blocks
The new series The mini blocks, dedicated to kindergarten children, is designed to train fundamental skills in the preschool age.  Thanks to its practical format, the block is the ideal companion both at home and on the road.


Activities

Visual ability
The training of visual skills from the early years of kindergarten represents an excellent tool for the development of future collateral skills. In this volume we will find completion activities with missing parts, filling of logical blocks according to a geometric design and identification of wrong components in a visual pattern to be recomposed.

Sorting and classification
The ability to classify and sort from childhood is a good prerequisite for future logical-mathematical skills. The proposed exercises concern the classification of elements according to logical characteristics of size or colour. We also find grouping activities, which require choosing the elements to be put together or identifying the intruding elements.

Logical-deductive ability
Logical-deductive skills are directly related to future, all important, problem-solving skills. Through the exercises in this volume, children will carry out activities of completing logical sequences, inserting elements within deductive matrices or rearranging elements broken down according to a logical sequence.

Spatial orientation
Through the early spatial orientation activities, the first topological concepts are introduced, fundamental for future skills in the visuo-spatial field. With the activities in this mini block, challenges concerning the concepts of inside-outside, above-below will be addressed. Children will be asked to identify or place elements according to these criteria.

Compose the puzzle
At the end of each section there is a puzzle to cut out. By placing all 4 puzzles side by side you get a single scenario to play with.



That’s logical series!

Develop logical thinking and reasoning


 

After the previous book The little pirates regarding school prerequisites, and Watch Out... focussing on attention and concentration,  That's logical… is a new series of Mini blocks that are easy to use and carry with you, full of fun educational games designed by education professionals to develop the logical skills of children aged 3 to 6 years.

The activities proposed in each volume are in order of increasing difficulty and can be carried out independently thanks to the minimal page layout and the simple and immediate instructions that make the method of execution explicit for children.

Thanks to its practical format, the block pad is the ideal companion both at home and on the road.

The activities

These books are colorful and engaging workbooks that offer 48 fun activities to develop reasoning and logical thinking in 3 to 6-year-olds, organized into 4 sections of increasing complexity and designed to facilitate the development of 4 fundamental skills:

Visual ability

The training of visual skills from the early years of kindergarten represents an excellent tool for the development of future collateral skills. In these activities you will find completion exercises with missing parts, filling logical blocks according to a geometric design and identifying the wrong components in a visual pattern to be recomposed.

Sorting and classification

The ability to classify and sort from childhood is a good prerequisite for future logical-mathematical skills. The proposed exercises concern the classification of elements according to logical characteristics, of size or color. There are also first set studies activities, which require you to choose the elements to bring together or to identify the intruding elements.

Logical-deductive ability

Logical-deductive skills are directly related to future, all-important, problem-solving skills. The children will carry out activities of completing logical sequences, inserting elements within deductive matrices or reordering elements broken down according to a logical sequence.

Spatial orientation

Through the early spatial orientation activities, the first topological concepts are introduced, fundamental for future skills in the visuo-spatial field: challenges that concern the concepts of inside-outside, above-below. Children will be asked to locate or place elements according to these criteria.
