Piece together 24 wooden pieces to create a colorful animal scene and a puzzle that moves. With this innovative and unique puzzle, pieces fit over pegs in the wooden puzzle board to create four interlocking gears that spin when the puzzle is complete – one dog chasing two cats, chasing three bunnies, chasing four birds. Artwork depicting an engaging ocean scene is on the puzzle board for easy matching. Vibrant colors and a variety of animals encourage counting and color recognition, and the gears are great for fine motor development and offer opportunities to explore cause-and-effect through exciting motion-driven moments. Puzzle play helps to promote logical thinking, goal setting, and patience. The Melissa & Doug Wooden Animal Chase Gear Puzzle is an engaging, hands-on, screen-free activity for kids three and older.
