Wooden Maze Puzzle, Find My Head

This is a new wooden puzzle from FUN TO LEARN. It is a mix and match puzzle called maze simply because of the grooved tracks that are made on the puzzle. The tracks guide the wooden pieces held to the board by a small wooden disc and attached together by a short piece of wooden rod. How to play? Take the maze puzzle, Find My Head, shown in the picture as example.

First, the wooden pieces of the animal heads are moved around, scattering them randomly all over the board or placing them to the wrong animal bodies. Then the child is encouraged to play by finding and matching the heads with the bodies of the animals. The learning experience will be fun for them! At first, they may try to move the pieces in directions that may not seem logical or push them against the side of the track. It is okay since they are just starting to learn how to play with the toy and they may not know that the pieces only move over the grooved tracks. Show them how to move the wooden pieces by guiding their hands as they push the pieces around. Soon they will learn how and start matching the animal head with the correct body. Teach them the names of the animals as they play. Later, they will recognise the animals when they see them in real life. The puzzle helps develop the child pre-writing skill and logical thinking. It is suitable for children age 3 and above.
