I didn't compare that card set and my puzzle closely but it looks like everything is there, there are simply more divisions with the Helpful Garden set. You can start with the ones that match and then explore the extra cards further down the road. For example, my fish puzzle has 5 different fins, the head and the body. The Helpful Garden set includes each of those but also adds gills, eye, nostril, etc. I wouldn't worry about the pictures being a little different. Ultimately, we want the child to be able to identify the parts of a fish no matter which fish they are looking at.Bess Wuertzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15857762989347193766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6890159205524669861.post-80270749216740451372015-08-21T01:03:30.639-04:002015-08-21T01:03:30.639-04:00Were you able to use the free 3 part fish cards fr...Were you able to use the free 3 part fish cards from the Helpful Garden with your fish puzzle? I've been looking at the fish and bird puzzle from Kid Advance and IFIT, noticing they aren't the same images as the ones in the cards. Would it still be okay to use these cards (would it confuse the child if the cards and puzzle images were different?), or is there another place to find free ones that would work?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03506621408249871246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6890159205524669861.post-31290595222220176372015-06-26T18:44:05.600-04:002015-06-26T18:44:05.600-04:00This is such an awesome post for extensions for th...This is such an awesome post for extensions for the Montessori puzzles!
