This puzzle shows a Wizard dressed in his purple cloths and hat. The raised pieces help children to manipulate the pieces and the whole picture helps them to learn about positive and negative shapes. The subject matter is interesting and encourages them to complete 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.
