Liturgical Calendar (0-3)

This puzzle encourages your toddler to develop fine motor skills and hand eye coordination. It provides nomenclature associated with color and church seasons during the language explosion. It also reaches to their sensitive period for organization and sensorial refinement. The puzzle pieces represent the cycles of preparation, celebration, and growth that provide the rhythms of the church life.

We recommend the two control mats - the child's drive to match the colors is first and much later in toddler, the child will begin to want to place them in the correct order. It is very important to allow the child to do the matching portion and not require it to be only placed in the liturgical order. Choose this option when prompted. (These may be examined in their own listing.)

NOTE: WE HAVE MODIFIED THE BORDER TO BE A CIRCLE AFTER FEEDBACK FROM CATECHISTS.
