Do the puzzle pieces fit inside the wrong shapes?

No, our puzzle is designed with Control of Error so that only the correct shape fits in the corresponding base. This provides your child with instant feedback so they can reocgnize, correct and learn independently.

Is this an appropriate first puzzle to introduce to a child?

Yes! This wooden puzzle was specifically designed as an introductory puzzle for infants and helps develop a number of early cognitive functions.

How are the little knobs on the tops of the puzzle pieces used?

The puzzles pieces in this set are intentionally chunky for an easy grip. Once your child is ready to begin exercising the pincer grasp, the little knobs serve as an alternative way to hold the puzzle pieces.

What would be an appropriate next puzzle for toddlers or older kids?

After the Single Shape Puzzles, we recommend graduating to the Montessori & Me 2-Piece Safari Animal Puzzles.

How large are these puzzles?

Each of the three included puzzles is 3" by 3".
