So Much to Explore

The puzzles start out with nine pieces, and work up to greater difficulty. They use a slide-and-place technique which allows your child to have a more true to life experience. There is still something to say for the actual physical puzzle pieces though. Having to manipulate them into place, not just drag-and-drop, is a tactile experience and skill.

 

More Than Puzzle Pieces

Chuggington Puzzle Stations! has more than puzzle pieces. It has dot-to-dot puzzles, and a seek-and-find puzzle too. It's fun because kids get to play more than one type of puzzle with their favorite train characters.

Collecting reward cards is also fun. While kids enjoy the puzzles, they earn cards for their collection. They can easily check their collection in the Puzzle Stations by the My Rewards sign.

Kids aged two though five will enjoy this game because there are multiple activities within the six themed stations. There are different cards at each station, and the collecting is very varied. My six-year-old is past the Chuggington and trains stage, but she does enjoy puzzles. She had fun exploring the stations and especially the dot-to-dots in this games app..
