I have recently come across to the Happy Puzzle Company that operates as online shop and catalogue order. They have a large selection of puzzles and games divided by age group and subjects to make it easier for parents to pick the right one to improve their kids’ skills. My concern at the moment is to improve my son’s writing skills so I picked Silly Story Laboratory which contains 10 silly stories with missing words everywhere and the players have fun filling the space with the correct words or create even sillier stories mixing the words up. The game comes with over 200 magnet words that are colour coded for each category: blue for verbs, orange for nouns, yellow for adverbs and green for adjectives. By playing with the Silly Story Laboratory kids  will improve their sentence making skills and  get strong grammar foundations without even realising having mountains of fun in the process.

Looking further into the Happy Puzzle Company I found that they also offer puzzle parties for kids of all ages and puzzle challenge days for schools.

    I have used the Happy Puzzle company on many occasions. They have come and run educational programmes in the school that my children attend. They came home full of excitement, having had the most wonderful day completing games which required them to think and work as a group. I\’ve also oredered games from their mail order catalogue. The service they offered was excellent and the products was of an exceptionally high quality.

    I strongly recommend using this company.
