Circle puzzles

The circle puzzle is a game consisting of a basic frame containing three grooves in which three light blue circles are placed: one whole, one divided into two parts, one divided into four. Using this material, the child can manipulate the figure, learning first by sensory means and then also by name, the parts of the circle in its entirety and in its first divisible parts. From a very young age, the child "absorbs" the shape and becomes able to recognise it in the surrounding reality. Proceeding by trial and error to find the right position of the joints so as to make up the circle helps to carry out problem solving activities and exercises eye-hand coordination.
