Large First Shapes Matching Puzzle

Introduce early learners to the exciting world of shapes and colours with the Large First Shapes Matching Puzzle! This beautifully crafted wooden puzzle features five brightly coloured shapes, each with an easy-to-grasp pegged handle designed specifically for little hands. As children match each chunky piece to its corresponding slot on the puzzle base, they develop essential fine motor and cognitive skills in a fun and interactive way. Perfect for children aged 12 months and up, this puzzle is an excellent addition to preschool environments and early learning settings. The base board is thoughtfully printed with colour-coded images to provide visual cues and support shape recognition, making it easier for toddlers to match, place, and succeed.
