Advantages: Simple, good size pegs, touchy feely areas to explore

Disadvantages: none

This is a simple lift-out puzzle for babies available from Early Learning Centre currently priced at £5. The recommended age range for this is 9months - 2 years.

The base is wooden with rounded corners and has the Early Learning centre logo in the bottom right hand corner.

There are 4 chunky wooden lift out pieces, each in the shape of a bug. The pegs to lift the piece are wooden and not too small so little hands will be able to pick them up easily. A picture and the name of the bug is printed on the tray to help your child identify which piece fits where.

The first piece is a spider - the spider has a friendly smiley face and there is an area of fuzzy fabric on the body part of the spider for your child to explore. Next an Ant - with a pink/purple smooth metallic lookig fabric area on it's body again with a smiley face. A caterpillar with a pink felt area to touch and finally a bee with a silver metallic area on the wing.

This is a simple puzzle for older babies that will give sensory stimulation and help to develop hand eye co-ordination.

Summary: A good simple first puzzle
