Melissa and Doug Hide and Seek Farm
Leah became very interested in this puzzle at 16 months. She realized that when she "opened' the different doors, she found animals that could be removed. At first, she really only cared about the cat (one of her favorite animals). However, it wasn't long until she would take each animal out and hold it up to me asking, "wassat?" It has been a great way to name animals and teach animal sounds. She can't identify all of the animals yet, but she definitely knows the horse, cat and bunny. Like all puzzles, this one works on her fine motor skills. However, it is different than a regular puzzle because it involves opening and shutting doors (that have little openings for her fingers), taking out and replacing the animals. The "doors" are all different sizes so she has to figure out which animal will fit in each one. It's fun to watch her "try" and realize it won't work, so she looks for another one!
