Another puzzle from the natural disaster series Drought is a Flat Tray wooden puzzle showing the effects of drought on the landscape. This is a shape cut puzzle and the pieces cut into different sizes helps children to understand both positive and negative shapes, plus the randomness of the pieces makes the puzzle more of a challenge for the learning puzzler.
A Tray Puzzle gives people a framework to work within. They are the next step from raised puzzles as fine motor coordination is developing. Tray puzzles are designed in many different configurations with few or many pieces. They can be traditionally cut or randomly cut to the shape of the object. This encourages recognition of both positive and negative shapes. Puzzles help develop the skills of hand -eye coordination, fine motor skills, gross motor skills,problem solving, shape recognition, memory and very importantly setting goals and achieving them. A successful outcome of achievement should be considered most important when choosing the piece count
