Description
Fantasy Forest Paths are a unique kind of puzzle we developed. Each path is a simple challenge for young kids (pre-readers) about learning to compare and contrast. Our invention takes this fundamental skill away from a basic teaching resource and more towards the realm of puzzles.
How does each “path” work?
- You play as an animal character with a simple and unique “quirk”. For example, “The Hungry Fox” will always choose the path with MORE food.
- Starting from your current location, move from crossroads to crossroads. Draw a path that makes the correct comparisons/choices at each one.
- If you did it right, the path ends at the (secret) home of the animal! Yay!
It tests the skill numerous times, while allowing fun stories, diverse rules, and automatically checking if you did it right. (In many cases, you can even do the same path multiple times, switching to a different animal.)

Charm: Educational Puzzle
This product is part of the Educational Puzzle charm.
Visit its main page to learn more about what that means. Below is a summary:
Educational Puzzles are logic puzzles meant to build and strengthen specific skills. They are physical puzzles that must be played with pen and paper or by moving physical pieces.
Famous examples of such puzzles are Sudokus or Crosswords, but our resources show you can take it much further.
Spell: My First Comparisons
This resource is part of the My First Comparisons topic (or "spell").
Earlier topics taught Apprentices to identify if things are the same or not. This topic takes the next step: HOW are they different? This also gently introduces the idea of sequencing: putting things in order based on … something.
