The game encourages children to speak about already known things, to find something new about their selves and the world that surrounds them. This activity stimulates children to think, reason and rejoice for new findings. The game can be played by various range of age children, where they can find different interesting activities for their development and establish the knowledge.

Children comments:
Ignas (4,5 years): "The rabbit eats carrot. I know how tasty it is but I do not like it."
Mantas (5 years): "The cat is little. Here is a tale, leg and eye. And I have eyes and nose."

It is an enjoyable game for young learners that can improve eye hand coordination, listening skills, vocabulary, descriptive skills. On each set of animals, the teacher or a student can ask the other students in a class to spot a particular animal, to guess the animal that is being described. As a reward students make the corresponding puzzle.

The jigsaw puzzle for pre-school children can be exploited in the section Animal Learning. It has beautiful graphics and animal voices. It is also important that it has scripts and names of animals in Greek. It promotes problem solving, Creativity

The game, as the review says, it's nice, simply to use and makes the little kids improve their motor ability. Then, there's the interesting quite large set of animals to play with. Young player will learn to recognize all these animals. Personally I'd make my students play it in english, so the names of the animals which appear at the end of each puzzle would be easily remembered
