The puzzle shows Santa with presents ringing his bell to let everyone know he has arrived. Raised wooden pieces help with piece manipulation and the whole picture puzzle gives interesting shapes for the young puzzler to explore. Santa is a very popular subject which encourages children to complete the task and build the puzzle.
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.
