Why do we need grammar?
Grammar enriches the child’s language, developing the art of communication, and stimulating their interest in analysing sentences. The Activities with the Grammar Boxes, help the Child become conscious of the various elements of language they already know; especially the order, structure, and composition of language; but now they can connect the words, and use them.
Language, linked with thought, is the tool of the intelligence
The Child needs usable language at their fingertips, for all their communication needs. In the second plane of development, introduces the Child to a wide range of language, and this activity will give them words to describe what they learnt. We give them the keys to explore their knowledge of language, and not prescriptive grammar lessons.

- Birchply for trays, holders and animal and botany puzzles.
- MDF for puzzle maps
- Pineply for boxes and containers
