Advantages: Good for little fingers

Disadvantages: None

I often sit along side a child while they are doing puzzles at work.
I will tell you about this Salad themed puzzle we have.

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.
This puzzle helps your child practice their fine motor skills , helps get that pincher grip they use for writing correct .
This is a good puzzle to use when doing a healthy eatring ot fruit / vegetable topic. The images of the cut up items is good to help your child understand how the salad vegetable . Requires a bit more thinking on their part than an inset puzzle which is just matching the underneatrh images ..
This puzzle is good for your childs language development to use the names , words for the salad items. DFo talk to your child when they are doing the puzzle using the correct names and shapes of the vwegetables .

This puzzle would be suitable for a two year old . We use it with older special needs students . It is easy for them to grip and the pictures age appropriate .
TYhis puzzle will last a long time . It is made of bourd . ( sort of mdf) not solid wood .

Would I recommend ? yes it's a good simple puzzle . Puzzles are good for your children. Gets them concentrating, learning to sit down and do a task

Summary: A peg puzzle with 5 salad items .

We had many of these types of puzzles for our kids when they were small. They outgrow them so quickly, though.
