Beautifully Designed CHOMP Food Chain Puzzle Books by Mirim Seo and Kelly Holohan.
Chomp puzzle books are designed to teach kids about basic food chains. Crafted of wood and paper, each beautiful puzzle book introduces a different level of a food chain in its environment; Forest, Ocean, Arctic, Jungle, and Desert. All food chains include, producers, consumers, and decomposers and each plays a role in the chain. When completed, the puzzle shows the eating process.
Beautifully designed and packaged, the set of books was a design project by student Mirim Seo for Temple University’s Tyler School of Art under the tutelage and with art direction by Professor Kelly Holohan.
