Elite Montessori Jumbo Knob Multiple Shape Puzzles for Toddlers 12m+ – Non-Toxic
The Elite Montessori Multiple Shape Puzzles jumbo knob set is a learning tool for toddlers from 12 months onward. Each puzzle measures 12.38 by 4.63 by 0.56 inches and uses non-toxic water-based paint. Designed for young children who have developed basic hand-eye coordination, these puzzles introduce figure-ground concepts and multiple shapes, building on skills learned with single-shape puzzles.
What makes this puzzle different from single-shape puzzles?
Single-shape puzzles isolate one shape, making it easier for toddlers to focus on one form. The multiple-shape version includes several shapes and sizes, presenting increased difficulty. This challenges the child to differentiate between forms, understand spatial relationships, and practice problem-solving when a piece doesn't fit. It also introduces the concept of small, medium, and large sizes within one puzzle.
