2 years & up. Explore how a frog, butterfly, and turtle change through different life stages with three nesting puzzles. Each smooth-sanded puzzle has printed illustrations that show a creature at different phases, from the egg stage to the adult animal.
Children can remove the three nesting pieces to reveal the egg illustration on the wooden base, then stack the pieces back into the larger form. This hands-on sequence gives educators a concrete way to invite observations and conversations about life cycles. Handling and arranging the pieces also offers opportunities for hand-eye coordination, finger dexterity, spatial awareness, and early problem solving.
The nature-based puzzles are made from plywood. Each stacked puzzle measures 6.5"W x 1.8"H x 6.5"D. Bring the set to a science area for small-group exploration or offer one puzzle at a time so children can focus on the stages of a single creature.
