Natural Shapes Puzzle Board

Little Wares Thoughts: Every baby needs a simple puzzle to start with, and this is a great choice. This puzzle helps teach cause & effect and delayed gratification. As your little one practices time and time again, they will eventually master this puzzle and learn to work through their fleeting feelings of frustration when one shape doesn't fit, or when it's turned the wrong way. Just remember not to take over for your baby-- it's important they learn to problem solve independently. Instead, guide with suggestions such as, "what if you turned it?"
