Why we love it

The Counting & Shapes Floor Puzzle is great for a 3 year old because it is a self-correcting puzzle with different layers that teach counting, numbers, and shapes.

Product Features

This is a Counting and Shapes Floor Puzzle inside a puzzle. First your child can work on putting together the train. Each car goes together FRONT to BACK. He/she can practice calling out which piece is in front and which is behind.
This educational toy also helps your child identify colors and shapes. Begin by helping him/her identify the circle, triangle and square. Teach your child that these shapes go “inside" the holes in the train cars and watch his/her sense of accomplishment as he/she finds the right pieces to fill in the holes in the train.
Soon your child will be building the complete train on his/ own, which increases his/her sense of accomplishment.
Recognition of numbers is a natural next step. Teach your child how to count to three. Your child can also learn ordinal numbers by calling out which train car is “first" “second", and “third."
Have your child practice describing the animals on the train. Which animal corresponds to which number car?
The challenge increases as your child learns to count to ten while pointing to the appropriate number.
