Puzzle Piece Of Asia in a child's hands
The South Korea piece from the Asia puzzle map, sold on its own. A peninsula piece is held by one edge only: water on three sides and a single short border at the top, which means there is exactly one way it can be wrong and a child finds it quickly. Pieces like this are good early wins on a map where most of the practice is patient. Silk screened and laser cut, so the replacement matches the piece it stands in for. The puzzle map of Asia is a separate item.
