Check out these new puzzles, controls and three part cards from Puzzle Heads!
Mine came in the mail today and we are really thrilled with the quality of the puzzles
and materials. The lady who runs the company (Mira Herbert) sent the following information to
share with my blog readers:

I design and create all of my puzzles myself from start to finish. They all start out as an original pencil drawing before becoming a digital piece of art. Stencils are then created for each color block. The images are silk screened with water based inks on to Baltic birch plywood panels which I cut into the finished puzzle pieces. My puzzles are guaranteed to last for years in your classroom and the corners will not deteriorate or become rounded. Ideas for new puzzles or materials are always welcomed and have either already been created or are currently in progress in my workshop.

Here are the links for the materials:

Update on Human Anatomy Resources

Montessori Research and Development (R&D) has these new
beautiful cards in both Primary and Elementary levels. My only
suggestion is to find a nice take apart model to go with each.

Zoology Nomeclature

Today in our training we did the 6-9 zoology nomenclature and folders.
The folders are red with the parts being highlighted in red like this:

You can make your own nomenclature with blacklines or purchase the
cards or download materials here:

Kingdoms of Life: Figures and Pix

Hi Again,
I am on a roll when it comes to animal
replicas. Did you know that Schleich has "screensavers"
that would make good matching cards to their
animals. There are also coloring pages here:

The farm animals and other figures can be found here:

I have been also looking for good cell and microscopic animal
models. I found these nice colorful plastic models through
Tedco Toys here:http://www.tedcotoys.com/dyn_prodlist.php?k=51117

There is print material included that could be used to
make description cards for the elementary level.
If your children/students are younger, simple
picture matching cards or three part cards would
work to match the models.
