Puzzlekins: House
$14.95
P1319
This is a brand new concept in puzzles! The completed puzzle looks like a house and the bottom of the puzzle frame show a cutaway picture of the different rooms in the house. But the best part is that the back side of all the chunky puzzle pieces are painted and shaped to become figures and things you need to fill a house. So not only do you get to do a puzzle, you get to play with the pieces like you would play with a doll house. The couch goes in the living room and the car gets pushed down the road..etc. A terrific piece encouraging language, creative play, visual perception and hand skills.
