Description
You're never too young to explore the wonderful world of entomology, and this colourful Magnetic Wooden Bug-Catching Puzzle Game from Melissa & Doug is a great way to introduce kids to creepy crawlies.
The aim of the game is to use the 'bug catcher' - a wooden butterfly net with a magnetic pole attached to the end - to pick up the different bugs from the board. It takes a lot of skill to get the magnet to land on the metal disc in the middle of each piece, so this game is fantastic for helping children develop their fine motor skills.
Little ones will love discovering all the different creatures that are featured on the 10 game pieces, and they'll also enjoy the challenge of matching them all back into their slots once they've completed the catching game.
Like all toys in the Melissa & Doug range, the Magnetic Wooden Bug-Catching Puzzle Game is made from high-quality sturdy wood, so it's durable enough to withstand hours of play.
