Floor Puzzle - Around the World w. 2 Cars, 48 pcs

Let the little cars drive around the puzzle, which doubles as a playmat for extra layers of fun.

This activity benefits important skills which are wonderful for your child's well-being and ability to learn:

• Wonderful for benefiting your child's visual perception.
• Wonderful for curious children.
• Perfect for role play, where children practise finding their own place in the game and not always being in charge. This strengthens your child's social skills.

Measures 90 x 60 cm.
Suitable for ages 3 yrs. to 6 yrs.

Doing puzzles together strengthens your child's fine motor skills and patience. Also, placing the pieces is a good way to get better at understanding how the single pieces form a whole and figuring out where each part belongs in the big picture.

The ability to register something visually (with our eyes) and envision what's missing from a whole is an important skill in learning geometry and math as well as understanding how sentences, sums, or even a piece of knitting, among other things, are made up of patterns and sequences.

Puzzles often have a special theme or topic, which you can talk about while you put the pieces into place. This is a great way to strengthen your child's vocabulary about e.g. animals, flags of the world, or our universe.

Do you know Melissa & Doug?

For years, the aunties and uncles at Toy Academy have enjoyed a warm relationship with the talented toy makers at the American toy company Melissa & Doug. The people at Melissa & Doug have great insight into which toys children love to use again and again, and which therefore stimulate their curiosity, capture their attention, and give their brains and bodies lots of learning.

Every single year, the Melissa & Doug collection overflows with new ideas, and our selection is a wonderland of suggestions for educational toys. The toys are durable and versatile, so many of the toys can be played with in a number of different ways. This makes the toys extra sustainable, as they offer lots of different play opportunities without additional consumption of nature's resources and energy.
