Logical puzzles
Puzzle activities in this category develop logical thinking, propositional logic and, if a child can already read, also reading comprehension in a child. The child tries to find a suitable solution based on the given statements. In the case your child is not able to read yet, read him or her the statements.

Logic
The ability to analyze and think logically is the foundation of critical thinking, which is so much needed in our society. Logical activities in this section teach children to reason. They work with statements and possibilities that need to be analyzed to get the right solution. But these are not activities for everyone, and certainly not in the preschool age. Some children are having fun and perform well with them, while some others need some time to get a grip over them. As children learn mostly by copying others, it is very important that you express yourself correctly and logically when you interact with your child or even with people in his or her proximity. These experiences are automatically transferred by the child to his or her thinking. Children who like logical puzzles are also likely to enjoy various strategy board games.
Reading
Reading is a skill that most of us learned in school. However, there are many curious children who learn to read on their own already at preschool age or, on the contrary, have certain problems with the acquisition of this ability. The activities in this category are intended mainly for these two groups of children and are intended to help them start to read in a playful and simple way. They should be preceded by activities developing auditory and visual perception. Comics with clear and simple texts, or texts with color-coded syllables, are also a very suitable alternative.
