Puzzle Piece Of World Parts in a child's hands
South America is a piece of the World Parts puzzle map, made of wood with a silkscreen print and a knob. The child lifts it out by the knob, looks for the place where its shape fits and sets it back where the continent belongs on the map. The manufacturer's catalogue describes the puzzle maps as sensorial work through which children start to learn world geography. The piece is sold separately from the map and measures 15 × 10 × 1 cm packed. It belongs to geography. For ages 3 to 6.
