Puzzle Squares Animals of the World

Puzzle Squares Animals of the World

Each of the six vividly illustrated 9-piece puzzles in this set reveals a different animal from around the world. There are 27 double-sided pieces included, so the first step is to sort them by color before placing 9 of them in the puzzle tray and arranging them to form a unified image. The tray eliminates the need for a separate surface, an excellent feature that makes play possible in any environment at home and on the go. The puzzle tray is also an integral part of the play experience, one that substantially enhances the fun and learning. Children take deep pleasure in placing 9 color-related pieces in the tray and sliding them around, examining the changing visual relationships. The animal takes shape within the confines of the tray's raised edge, a framing effect that adds to the puzzles' aesthetic appeal and enhances the color-sorting, problem-solving, and fine motor skills kids bring into play in the process. Puzzle greyboard contains 90% recycled paper. Packaging contains 70% recycled paper. Printed with nontoxic Inks.
