Description
Melissa & Doug have designed this delightful peg puzzle as a fun way of introducing your children to new colours and shapes. Younger children will enjoy picking up each shape included in the sturdy wooden set and finding out which slot it belongs to. Parents don't have to miss out on the fun either! Join in by encouraging your child to remove the shapes, including an illustrated door, window, tree, sun and roof. All of these are designed to look like everyday objects so your child can develop shape recognition.
Children will have so much fun learning about the different colours and names of everyday items, aided by this lovely peg game. The shapes and knobs used within this puzzle have been designed by Melissa & Doug with young children in mind, meaning that it’s perfect for small hands to use.
-
The puzzle is made from extra-thick wood, making it durable and long lasting. The knobs are also large which means younger children can grasp them much more easily.
-
The board features a number of different illustrations of familiar objects in engaging, bright colours.
-
The puzzle is in full colour and also shows a matching picture underneath each shape when removed from the board.
-
This is the perfect toy to help encourage your child’s visual perception skills and hand-eye coordination.
