Zoo Animals Chunky Puzzle - Melissa & Doug

This Zoo Animals Puzzle is part of the “Chunky Puzzle” collection created by respected educational toymakers Melissa and Doug. The puzzle consists of 6 different fun wooden zoo animals, including an elephant, lion, zebra, hippopotamus, giraffe, and rhinoceros. The puzzle board, which all of the pieces fit nicely into, measures 12 inches by 9 inches with a 1 inch depth. To help the little one find the correct place for each piece, there are pictures under the pieces of the puzzle so the child can practice matching. In addition to shape/color recognition, this great gift item can also help children with hand-eye coordination and in developing their fine motor skills. If the little one wants to get creative with just the puzzle pieces, they are thick enough to stand up all on their own. The Chunky Zoo Animals Puzzle Pieces are made entirely of select hardwood, making them very durable and able to withstand the rigors of being a youngster's plaything for years to come. A helpful list of alternate activities is printed on the packaging as well.

Recommended for ages 2 and up; all of the coatings on this quality wooden gift item are non-toxic.
