They worked together to put the pieces in the puzzle. They practiced colors and directions. My husband even worked on North, South, East, and West with them as he described which piece went where. While they put it together, they talked about where we have traveled, where we have lived, where grandparents and family lives, and where we want to go someday. After it was all together (which I don't have a picture of...oops), they talked about where states like Alaska and Hawaii really are in relation to the continental United States.
The kids loved helping daddy and they loved trying to figure out what state fulfilled his description. It was a great use of the time while they waited for dinner and everyone enjoyed the time together.
The puzzle (Linked Puzzle*) has information in the form of pictures for each state. There are bright colors to help differentiate from each state. The only things I feel this puzzle is missing is the Great Lakes and outlines of our neighboring countries. For the most part though, this puzzle will be great for us to work on United States geography.
