There are six of these award-winning puzzles in the box, each with just 2 pieces, and with each puzzle measuring approximately 15cms x 12cms, the large, chunky pieces are a perfect size for very little hands. The six different modes of transport are a bright yellow car, a steam train engine, a little red boat, a shiny aeroplane, a double-decker bus and a green helicopter.

A delightful set of 24 mini puzzles with a farmyard theme, each with just 2 pieces, so perfect for younger children. Each puzzle shows a pair of images which will teach your child about opposites, using bright colours and cheerful illustrations. There is a donkey, shown from the front and the back; a big pink pig next to a little tiny piglet; a heavy sack of potatoes with a light feather floating next to it. The corresponding words also appear with the pictures, so the puzzles will help children with their literacy and reading skills. There is plenty to talk about within each little puzzle; why is the snail so slow, when the rabbit can go bounding past so fast? Why is the farmer so happy in one picture but so sad in the other? Why does the scarecrow near to us look so much bigger than the one that is far away? You can also pick one of a pair of cards and ask your child if they know what the opposite word is without looking at the picture. Each mini-puzzle is just 13.5cms x 7cms, and they are made with strong recycled board. Each piece of the puzzle will only fit with it`s correct partner. Although ideally suited to children aged from 3 to 6, slightly younger children will still enjoy putting the puzzle pieces together and talking about the pictures. Ref. Code:OR208

A set of four bright, colourful farmyard puzzles which will appeal to younger children. Each puzzle has a different number of pieces; the bright red tractor ploughing the field has just 4 pieces, making it a good starter puzzle. It shows one tractor so has a number 1 in the corner. Then they can progress to the 6 piece puzzle, showing two friendly cows in a field, with a number 2. The 8 piece puzzle has 3 woolly sheep, and the 12 piece puzzle has 4 cheeky chickens. Children will enjoy progressing towards the harder puzzle. Initially they can be given the pieces for just one puzzle to complete, but as they become more accomplished, they can mix all the puzzle pieces together to make it a little bit more challenging. The puzzles are made of sturdy, recycled board, with a wipe-clean surface. An activity guide printed on the box will suggest other ways to enhance the play value of the puzzles: how many eggs can you see in the chicken puzzle? Which puzzle has a bird in? What noise do cows make? Is the bush in front of or behind the cows? Children will enjoy the clear, colourful illustrations while learning basic number skills and extending their vocabulary. Ref.
