Detective activities for kids that build real problem solving skills
Woodland Fix-It Cases are printable detective activities for kids. Twelve forest friends have problems, from a leaky beaver dam to a turtle who can't keep up, and your child is the detective who cracks each case.
Every case file works like a problem solving worksheet with a story: kids read the clues, list ideas and pick the best one using the Fix-It Wheel (Stop, Look, Think, Try). There's no single right answer, and home case files let your child use the same steps on real problems.
Ages 4 to 6 talk through the cases while you write, and ages 7 to 10 fill them in on their own.
