Kookaburra Knob Puzzle - 6 Pieces

Celebrate Australia's unique wildlife with the Montessori Kookaburra Knob Puzzle - a beautifully designed wooden puzzle that introduces one of the country's most iconic birds. Perfectly sized for little hands, this six-piece puzzle includes removable parts representing the kookaburra's head, wing, body, legs, and tail, each with a smooth, easy-to-grip wooden knob.

Made from sustainably sourced wood and coloured with non-toxic, child-safe paints, this puzzle inspires independent learning and nature appreciation. As children match the labelled pieces to complete the bird, they build spatial awareness, fine motor skills, and early science vocabulary. The realistic kookaburra design brings an authentic slice of the bush into any classroom, home, or nature-based early learning environment.

Aligned with Montessori principles, this puzzle encourages self-directed learning, inviting children to work at their own pace as they develop problem-solving skills, concentration, and a connection to native Australian animals.
