A Dozen Doughnuts

"Build a Word" is part of the FUN LESSONS series and is designed to help children take the next important step in language development: learning to make up words on their own.
The set contains 86 pieces, which can be arranged into 14 puzzles featuring words of 3, 4 and 5 letters.

✔ How does it work?

Your child starts with the first letter, finds the following pieces and arranges the complete words. The pictures act as a guide, and the colourful puzzle pieces make the task engaging and easy.

✔ Who is it suitable for?

For children between 3 and 7 years old who already recognise letters and want to start "reading and writing" through play.

✔ Why do children love it?

Because every completed word is a small victory - and it makes your child feel smart, proud and "grown up".

• Builds recognition of the first letter - a key stage in early literacy.
• Encourages putting together whole words - your child "builds" the word letter by letter.
• Trains observation, logical thinking and precision - each puzzle is like a mini mission.
• Supports fine motor skills and coordination - through working with large, easy-to-handle pieces.
• Builds confidence - your child sees that they can make correct words all by themselves.

A young gymnast has to perform in front of the whole school, but something isn't right. She feels a strange knot in her stomach that follows her everywhere.
The Monster of Fear is lurking... will she manage to perform her routine in a minute and a half?
Almudena Cid shows us how to overcome our fears by turning them into allies, using them to meet every new challenge.

The Story Behind "A Monster in a Minute and a Half"

This is a book that reminds us that facing our fears makes us stronger. We've all felt our stomach twist into a knot at some point, whether it's stepping out in front of an audience, before an important exam, or facing some other challenge. We try everything to suppress our fears... to banish them, shrink them, or lull them to sleep, even just for a moment... But it's not that easy. It turns out this emotion has its own role to play. That's exactly what the young gymnast in the story learns, as she decides to bring the Monster of Fear onto her side.

Written by a world-renowned rhythmic gymnastics champion, "A Monster in a Minute and a Half" shows children that everyone gets scared or worried sometimes. But it's not impossible to shake off our fears and turn them to our advantage.
