Nothing can be more fun for infants and very young kids than making their very first baby jigsaw puzzle. It must seem quite daunting for a one year old to be given a puzzle with just two or three pieces, but at this age they are starting to recognise colours and shapes, and with a little help from Mum or Dad they can sooner master the skills needed to complete it.
Chunky wooden pieces that make the shape of an animal, object or person are a great way to introduce jigsaw puzzles for babies, and with their rounded edges and safe to chew colours they’re a perfect way to start an interest in jigsaws that can often last a lifetime. The next stage in babies jigsaws are tray or peg puzzles - these have pre-printed shapes in the outline of a vehicle, house or other object, and the baby has to match the shape into the correct place on the board. Once they’ve mastered this, try turning the jigsaw upside down for an extra challenge.
Some popular makers of jigsaw puzzles for babies include Orange Tree Toys, Lanka Kade, Branching Out, Galt or Orchard Toys, and whilst most of them use wood as the primary jigsaw material, very tough laminated card is often also used. Interlocking series of numbers or alphabet are a great way for babies to start to learn their ABC, and when combined with bright stimulating colours, learning becomes so much more fun. Jigsaw puzzles for babies – what better way is there to teach so many skills like shape, colour and dexterity.
