This salad peg board puzzle is available from http://www.justjigsaws.co.uk for £6.99. It is available on its own for £6.99. There are 6 puzzles in this fruit and veg range all similar with pictures of other fruit and veg.

This puzzle is an easy puzzle it is a peg board puzzle with 5 inset pieces. Each salad item is an individual piece there is a Spring onion, cucumber, lettuce, radish, and a tomato. These pieces are coloured all look like the salad item they are realistic. These salad insert pieces are not rectangular inserts but are shaped a bit like the salad items they picture.
This puzzle is a tray puzzle and there is an image on the base of the puzzle where the puzzle pieces fit. This picture is of the matching salad vegetable, but it is not an identical picture. The vegetables are displayed cut up so you can see the cucumber in slices; the tomatoes cut up the other veg are cut up too .

Each of the salad vegetable puzzle inset pieces has quite a large peg attached to it . this peg is easy for little fingers to grip . makes positioning the puzzle pieces correctly easy.
