Why we like it at Happy Little Tadpole:
Puzzles are a fun way to improve recognition, logical thinking, patience, as well as hand-eye coordination. Completing puzzles is a self-affirming activity that can be challenging, and rewarding. Altogether we find puzzles to be a great activity for kids of all ages. The important part is buying the right sized puzzle for the child you are gifting. This 500 piece puzzle will be great for a child ages 8-11 years old, with it being a bit more challenging for an 8-year-old, and easier for a 12-year-old, dependent on their abilities and skills.
Gift Pairing Idea: Pair this beautiful puzzle with a book about one of the first naturalists that studied insect life: The Girl Who Drew Butterflies: How Maria Merian’s Art Changed Science for an educational gift set about Butterflies that will help the little one in your life understand more about what life was like and the scientific discoveries that occurred in the 1600s.
