I recently picked up two other wooden peg puzzles by Moonvvin and decided I had to have more. I loved the first two and the baby has been playing with them nonstop, though she gets quite angry at them when she can't get the pieces to fit. I saw a few others I wanted, too, but I opted to get the people puzzle for her at this time because we have been working on identifying who everyone is. She has mom and dad down no problem, and recognizes her "bubbas" (her brothers), but that is it. I wanted to make sure she had the chance to do the people puzzle with us and learn the others.
This puzzle is simple in design, as are most puzzles made for such young ages. It is a thinner wooden board with each of the pieces printed on the inside to match the piece that fits in its space. The pieces all have a small peg on them to allow for easier pick up and placement. Younger children often have problems grasping puzzle pieces and putting them in place. They lack the fine motor skills necessary for placing objects in spaces they are intended to fit in. Having the peg helps them place the puzzle piece easier. But more so, grasping the small peg with their fingers and thumb works on dexterity and helps build muscle in their hands. It is a great way to help them with fine motor skills, as well as matching, sorting, etc.
The theme for this wooden puzzle is people. You get all of the basics - mother, father, grandma, grandpa, brother, sister... plus a few others. The people are all cartoon designs, of course, but done in a very kid friendly manner with some realism to it. All of the colors are bright and vibrant, mostly done in primary colors, though there are some additional colors. They have a nice shine to them to make them look good and attract the eye, while protecting the picture from the damage they might otherwise face. The designs are all kid friendly and are done in a manner that will appeal to younger kids, making this a puzzle that stimulates the brain through visual means.
I love the images uses in this puzzle and the other two I got previously, along with how well it is designed. It is not as thick and sturdy as puzzles I used to have, but many of the toys today are not manufactured as solidly as they did years ago, but it is still able to with stand the abuse of my 18 month old. She has pointed, oohed and ahhed over the pictures, and gotten frustrated at not having the fine motor skills she needs to put the pieces in place. But she is determined to figure it out, being a stubborn little girl who I suspect might be an overachiever and perfectionist later, given her early signs and tendencies. Only time will time.
Great puzzles and a great price. I am pleased with what I have received and am considering picking up a few more themes to go with these. The only thing I hate about puzzles is having to clean them up when the little one can't do it themselves. Right now the puzzle pieces are scattered in the playpen where her toys are kept when she is not playing.
