Puzzle - Above & Below Sea & Sky, 48 pcs
Bird or fish? With this lovely puzzle, you get both.
Both the pieces and the box are made from recycled cardboard, and the designs are created by artists from around the world and printed with soy-based inks.
Made by Crocodile Creek, a family-run company from Durham, USA.
As you work on puzzles together, your child develops both fine motor skills and patience. Puzzling also helps them learn to see the parts of a whole and how a single piece fits into the bigger picture.
Visual perception - our ability to understand what we see with our eyes - and imagining what’s missing are important skills for learning math and geometry, and for understanding how sentences, sums, knitwear, and so many other everyday things are built around sequences and patterns.
As you puzzle together, talk about life beneath the waves and up in the sky.  Chatting about the different animals in the picture – what the sharks are called and where the rays live – helps expand your child’s vocabulary and knowledge.

What makes this product special
Toys for learning through play
Play is essential for children’s learning, well-being, and development. Through play, children learn about themselves and the world around them.
Play helps children:
• stay curious
• focus and become absorbed in what they're doing
• take on age-appropriate challenges
• build confidence
We believe children learn best by doing things for themselves:
• by making mistakes
• by getting messy
• by falling down and getting back up again
Resilience, confidence, and courage grow through experience, one small step at a time.
That's why we carefully choose toys that encourage independence, imagination, movement, and social skills — offering just the right balance of support, freedom, and opportunities to grow.
Carefully selected toys
We carefully handpick every toy from the vast world of toys available today. The only toys that make it into our range are ones we'd be happy to give our own children.
Every toy at ToyAcademy should:
• support learning through play
• be made from durable, high-quality materials
• be safe and enjoyable for children to play with

Measures 50 x 68 cm.Suitable for children aged 4 yrs. to 8 yrs.
Doing puzzles together strengthens your child's patience and fine motor skills. Besides, placing the pieces is a good way to get better at understanding how the single pieces form a whole and envisioning where each part belongs in the big picture.
Being able to register something visually (using our eyes) and envision what's missing from a whole is an important skill when learning math and geometry as well as comprehending how sums, sentences, or a piece of knitting, among other things, are made up of patterns and sequences.
Puzzles often have a special topic or theme, which you can talk about while you're doing it. This is a great way to talk about anything from jungle animals to astronomy, flags of the world, or telling time and expand your child's vocabulary.
The activity is great for your child's well-being and ability to learn:
- Strengthens your child's visual perception.
- Strengthens logical skills and abilities.
- A great way to strengthen observation skills.
