Creative Tutors of Allen-Lovejoy

Puzzles are Great for Learning

Looking for a creative way to teach geography? John Spilsbury glued a map to a flat piece of wood, used a fine hand saw and cut out each country. On September 15, 1767, this British teacher invented the puzzle!

Enjoy assembling some puzzles today. This is a great way to work on logic skills, visual discrimination, and improve vision skills. Here is an on-line puzzle site. http://www.jigzone.com/
