Abstract

The Animal Kingdom is a comprehensive tool that helps develop the motor, sensory and memory skills of a child from 3 to 8 years old with mild and/or moderate intellectual disabilities. With the Animal Kingdom puzzle the child can have fun and learn at the same time, concentration and retentiveness are skills that can develop these children through assembling the Animal Kingdom. And so they can apply the skills learned in their academic development and in their daily lives. Included are pieces to identify animals and the primary and secondary colors, through sounds, which involves the ability that children can develop to recognize colors and animals.
