This Chicken Family raised tray puzzle shows a Rooster, Hen and a chick. The pieces are all raised above the background to make it easier for small fingers to manipulate the pieces and the colourful imagery promotes participation in the learning experience and language development as it promotes discussion of different family groups.
Raised Piece Puzzles are the next step after Pegs. The puzzle pieces are raised higher than the frame background which allows small fingers to easily manipulate the pieces. This extends fine motor development. Puzzles help children to develop a range of skills. These include visual motor skills, proprioception, vestibular, tactile and fine motor. These skills are all pre-reading essentials and are extremely important in early childhood development.
