2026 Pre-K Curriculum Kit
With a fairy-tale theme and just the right level of challenge, Three Little Piggies turns a familiar story into a hands-on logic puzzle. During the day, the pigs play outside, and your child must arrange the puzzle pieces so each pig is in the correct location. At night, the wolf appears, and the challenge becomes finding a way to tuck every pig safely inside a house.
The chunky puzzle pieces are easy for little hands to manipulate and feature peek-through windows that allow children to check whether the pigs are exactly where the challenge requires them to be. As players work through 48 puzzles—24 daytime and 24 nighttime—they gradually build visual perception, spatial reasoning, logical thinking, and problem-solving skills.
The challenges progress from simple introductions to more demanding puzzles, helping children gain confidence as they learn to analyze clues, test possibilities, and find the one correct solution.
A wordless picture book is also included, inviting children to retell the classic story in their own words and extend the learning through imaginative play.
Whether solving puzzles independently or working alongside a sibling or parent, children will find plenty to enjoy in this engaging blend of storytelling and logic.
How to Use Three Little Piggies
- Choose a challenge from the double-sided booklet, set up the pigs, and, when required, the wolf exactly as shown. Daytime challenges ask your child to position the houses so the pigs remain visible. Nighttime challenges add the wolf and require each pig to be safely hidden inside a house.
- Using the three house puzzle pieces, encourage your child to experiment with different arrangements until everything fits correctly on the board. Each challenge has only one solution, but discovering it often takes a bit of testing, adjusting, and careful observation.
- Start with the easier puzzles to build confidence, then gradually work toward the more challenging setups. The difficulty increases naturally as children become more comfortable analyzing clues and visualizing how the pieces fit together.
- One or two new puzzles each week provides a steady dose of logic practice. Revisiting favorite challenges is another great way to reinforce success and build confidence.
- After puzzle time, enjoy the included wordless picture book together. It offers a natural opportunity for storytelling and narration as your child retells the tale in his own words.

”I love the sense of accomplishment on this 4-year-old’s face when he figures it out on his own. Don’t you know he’s proud of himself?”

Very fun spatial reasoning. I think it's good for me as the parent to help with these, as it's a bit of a weak spot for me.

My four-year-old loves this game! He asks to play it all the time. Not too challenging that he gets frustrated, but challenging enough to keep him engaged.

The three little piggies game is a huge hit with both my boys (ages 3 and 5). They have so much fun and it’s great to see them learning how to problem solve and reason through the challenges. It’s a perfect way to fit in a little extra learning without them even realizing it!

It's Perfect!

We are, by now, well versed and big fans of the Smart Games company and this time is no different. I love how there are two kinds of challenges, the day where you have to fit the houses around the pigs, and the night where the pigs have to be hidden away from the wolf. My 4 year old sometimes struggles with the puzzles as his spatial reasoning skills aren't the greatest, but this puzzle is definitely helping with that and I have already seen improvement. Cute, fun and charming, this puzzle game is a 5/5 and will definitely be staying in the family game box long after PreK is finished.

LOVED IT!

This was the third SmartGame we did with my son back in like preschool when he was about 4 years old. For that age group it was a real challenge to think through how to put things together so the pigs were in all the homes hidden from the wolf. A number of SmartGames have this same mechanic though. We liked the Three Little Piggies better than the hiding goats one. Then we did the Penguin Pool Party one which was okay. FOr older kids, the Cats in Boxes one was great. Since so many SmartGames have this same style of fitting pre-made shapes into a board, you don't need too many of them, so carefully choose the right ones for you.

Great for the whole family

Purchased this game for our PreK. The whole family loves solving each challenge. We have the youngest go first. Once he solves it the houses are taken off before anyone, but the person setting it up, sees. Then it is the next person turn. We see who can solve it the quickest. A majority of the time it is the 4-year-old that is the quickest.

I love how the challenge of this sneaks up on my kids. They get going quickly, but are then forced to pause and reevaluate their thinking. A really great addition to our critical thinking games!
