This is a Raised piece wooden tray puzzle of a Caterpillar with the added extra of counting 1 to 10 on his back. this is a great next step puzzle after Peg puzzles as the large chunky pieces make it easier for small hands and the bright colourful image encourages participation.
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.
