Description

Research shows puzzles are educational, especially in the area of mathematics, and they offer developmental support for both children and adults. When any child or adult works with puzzles, the right (creative) brain and left (logical) brain are both engaged, which is when our brains are most active.
In addition to being a fun way to spend time together as a family, puzzles can play an amazing role in your child’s development….including cognitive skills, fine motor development, hand-eye coordination, social skills and problem solving.

This hippo puzzle is handcrafted with a scroll saw from select pine. It is unfinished and ready for the purchaser to paint, clear finish or leave raw. There are two degrees of difficulty. Less difficult – mark one side so you know which side is up. More difficult- keep both sides the same so you have to figure out which side goes up. This makes a great gift for a child or grandchild.
