Why we love it

Jumbo Knob Puzzles receives our seal of approval because the large pieces are easy to see and differentiate and easy to manipulate. This puzzle also has a picture under the puzzle piece and that is helpful when returning the piece back to its designated place.

Product Features

• As far as educational toys go, there are two skills that Jumbo Knob Pets Puzzle encourages in your child. The first is matching the piece to the space where it belongs. Begin by taking only one puzzle piece out of the board and handing it to your child.  Then, help guide your child’s hand to the empty spot to replace the piece.
• The second skill that your child can practice is how to orient the piece to make it fit in its spot. You can help him/her by pointing out that the dog’s head goes on top. To encourage you little one you can say, “Turn the piece. Almost there.”
• Once your child is able to replace one piece successfully, try it with two and then work up to all three pieces.  It’s helpful to use simple words and directions, such as “Where does the dog go?”
• As your little one puts each animal in its space, ask what sound the animal makes. Practice the sounds for dog, cat and bird.
• You can also use this puzzle to begin to teach prepositions.  For example say, “The bird is ABOVE of the dog and cat” and “The dog is NEXT TO the cat.”
