When solving these tasks, children develop thinking skills in sorting and classifying, which involve visual perception (sorting by colour, shape and pattern) and logical thinking (categorising, classifying and finding the odd one out in groups of objects). When sorting and classifying items, children group them according to certain characteristics or attributes (e.g., colour, shape, size) and find similarities and differences between objects. The learning cards Sorting and Classifying help children to develop a range of thinking skills and build the foundations for later problem-solving. Art. Nr. 3266

A non-fiction and hands-on activity book for young scientists and philosophers alike. Time – what is it really? Is it what clocks measure? The passing of hours, days and years? Or a feeling? This book gets to the bottom of the phenomenon of time. In addition to clear explanations, this book features numerous experiments and crafting instructions: the perpetual calendar shows the basis of our calendar system. With the help of the sundial, children learn how the length of the day was measured and how clocks as we know them today came into being. A water clock or an ancestor chart can also be built with the help of this book. The phenomenon of time can be demystified and felt, no longer intangible.
