This is the kind of classic, versatile puzzle that every young child should own. It�s a beautiful, heirloom quality wooden puzzle featuring each letter of the alphabet. As your child removes each letter piece (a job made easier thanks to the convenient pegs on each piece), he will find a picture of something that starts with that letter! Children love puzzles with hidden pictures and the enjoyment provided by this puzzle will keep children coming back over and over to play and learn! You can play plenty of games with your child using this puzzle - try spreading out the letters and asking your child to identify or sort them by sound, letter name, or even color. Challenge him to pick up and place the pieces the same way: �€�Can you find the piece that makes the 't' sound? Great! Can you put it in the puzzle?�€� You can also use the puzzle tray as an �€�I Spy�€� game as you challenge your child to find pictures based on different qualities like name, color, function, etc. We highly recommend this puzzle for all young children ages 3 and up!
