Puzzle Piece Of Europe in a child's hands
The North Macedonia piece from the Europe puzzle map, sold on its own. The country changed its name in 2019, so a map bought before then says Macedonia on its control chart and labels while the replacement piece says North Macedonia, and it is worth knowing which of the two your set uses before a child meets the mismatch. Silk screened and laser cut, so the piece drops into the hole it came from. The puzzle map is a separate item.
