The Didgeridoo is a musical instrument unique to the Australian Aborigines. This puzzle depicts the Australian Aborigine standing to play, but they are often played whilst seated on the ground. The instruments are carved from branches of trees that have been hollowed out by white ants, leaving an outside shell. The instruments are often brightly painted with traditional aboriginal designs.A Flat Tray wooden puzzle Didgeridoo is a shape cut puzzle which means that it is more of a challenge than a traditional cut jigsaw puzzle. The shape pieces help children learn spacial awareness as they have to first find the negative space and then match it with the positive shaped piece. All the pieces come out leaving just a narrow border and the tray gives the student a space to work within. But remember to "Gently Tip and Turn" the pieces out of the frame. Please read the care instructions on the sticker on the back of all Tuzzles tray products.
