Advantages: Good puzzle durable and incentive of sounds.

Disadvantages: None

This puzzle is a 6 piece insert tray puzzle from John Lewis. This puzzle will cost you £8.00.
This puzzle very durable the one I know lasting ma a long time .

The natural wood tray of this puzzle has a few pictures birds tortoises bananas and flowers these surround the cut out positions for the insert puzzle pieces.

The insert pieces are a lion, a monkey, an elephant, a parrot, a zebra and a bear. When these pieces are removed you see a picture of the same animal underneath on the wooden tray base. These pictures portray the animal in a different position/setting to the same animal which fits into that position The animal puzzle pieces are cartoon type coloured drawings .
The animals in their inserts are pictured in their natural habitat. The animal pieces are not straight sided but rounded and curvy. . The puzzle pieces are chunky easy to hold and position. Your child is not just looking for a straight match of pictures to help him /her position the puzzle piece.

When the jigsaw pieces are positioned in the correct place a sound of that animal is made. This makes the puzzle more interesting for your child.

I think this puzzle suitable for a 2 to three year old up to a five year old depending on their abilities of course. This puzzle is a good way to practice and develop those fine motor skills. Good for matching skills and sound recognition. Talk to your child name the animal makes the sounds they make and this puzzle will help develop their language. Puzzles are a good way of developing your child's concentration skills.
Would I recommend? Yes.
