A great activity to encourage hand-eye coordination and visual perception skills too! This Barnyard Animals puzzle can help to develop your child's problem solving skills! Puzzles require problem solving skills from start to finish. Children must select from an array of pieces of all shapes and sizes that will fit into an open space. This requires their perception and attention to determine what the piece should look like and the use of their reasoning and decision-making skills to select the best suited piece. If the piece doesn’t fit they must problem solve and look for an alternate solution – rotating the piece to make it fit, or selecting a new piece! Approximate Dimensions: 29cm x 29.5cm x 4.5cm. Comes wrapped in protective plastic.
