Wooden Puzzle Blocks Animals

Putting puzzles together has a positive effect on a child’s development and, even more importantly, there is no age limit to enjoying them. Simply choose the difficulty level and number of pieces to suit the child’s age and abilities, so the puzzle offers an appropriate and encouraging challenge.

It’s a good idea to start with a two- or three-piece puzzle so that your toddler isn’t discouraged by failure. As the child gets older, the bar can be raised while preserving the cognitive and educational value of putting puzzles together.

The Wooden Puzzles from the Polar Bear series are therefore perfect for getting started. This puzzle set contains 9 sets, each of which can be used to create a different animal: a zebra, fox, bear, rhinoceros, hedgehog, squirrel, lion, crocodile and elephant. Each animal set consists of 2 pieces, and the complete set consists of 19 pieces.

The puzzles also help children learn about shapes, colours and animals. As they put the pieces together and explore the different animal pictures, the toy develops:

• manual skills
• memory
• creativity
• sensory play
• fine motor skills
• imagination

Made for children from 18 months, the set measures 20 x 20 x 2.5 cm. Choose a puzzle difficulty and number of pieces suited to the child’s age and abilities, and let them enjoy learning through play with the animals, shapes and colours.
