Toddler Puzzle in a child's hands
The cauliflower toddler puzzle shows the vegetable on a realistic photograph, not on a drawing, and measures 245 × 145 mm. According to Nienhuis it is made of birch plywood, has one piece and comes in green and white. The child takes the piece in the hand, looks at the picture, turns the piece until the outline fits and sets it into its place. Wipe the puzzle with a slightly damp cloth and dry it at once. It weighs 200 g, is meant for indoor use and is made for children aged 0 to 3.
Fine Motor Control
Grasping and placing puzzle pieces strengthens pincer grip and hand-eye coordination essential for later writing skills.
Visual Discrimination
Matching pieces to their corresponding spaces develops visual perception and spatial awareness.

Frequently Asked Questions
What age is this cauliflower puzzle appropriate for?
