**Play Smart Challenging series---2022 National Parenting Product Awards Winner** (NAPPAawards.com)

This Play Smart Skill Builders Challenging focuses on drawing basic lines and solving mazes while guessing the path ahead to support your child’s development of preschool readiness skills.

1. Tackle tasks in a variety of ways. Depending on a child’s age, some problems may be a little too difficult. It’s important to encourage your child to approach tasks in different ways, and this can be done by referring to the tips in the “To Parents” section. When a task is complete, your child’s sense of accomplishment will help develop their critical thinking skills and creativity.

2. Develop independence while working on tasks. Activities include tasks related to getting dressed, cleaning up, and helping around the house. When an activity is finished, encourage your child to practice it. This prompts children to be more aware of their surroundings.

3. Learn the names of animals, food, vehicles, and other things. While outside of your home, ask your child to review the things they have learned in the workbook. This will not only expand their vocabulary, but also stimulate their interest in the things around them.

4. Think about the environment. Pages featuring characters living in the Arctic, jungle, and desert as well as in trees, in the sea, and on land are designed to help children learn that various living things reside together on Earth. This helps raise awareness of environmental issues.
