Orchard ToysBig Wheels Puzzles

This is a brilliant little set of puzzles. Great for vocabulary building and observation as well as fine motor skills’ development.I bought it for my 18 month-old grandson who, at first, was happy just to identify the right pairs of animals and make the relevant noises.However, the pieces and the interlocks are a good size, and perfect for small hands, so it wasn’t long before he was fitting them together with hardly any help.Once he’d mastered the farm animal puzzles, we mixed them together with the jungle animals pack to make things a bit more challenging.We’ve had both packs for a year now, and they have been heavily used - now also by a younger sibling - but are still in excellent condition thanks to the heavy duty cardboard used.Thanks for reading my review.

2yr old grandson loved it. At one stage he grabbed the box and took a very close look at the clearly shown vehicles, seemingly to gauge what they should look like once he'd fitted the pieces. We talked of matching colours, sizes of wheels, basics of what differing vehicles where for.This multi piece jigsaw(s) grabbed his attention better rather than the 2 piece jigsaw which we bought as well.Only down side was he opening the box, pushed down the lid, which would eventually break it. So we taught him how to open it properley.Yes, certainly recommend this fun and educational `toy`.

This is a brilliant little set of puzzles. Excellent for vocabulary building and sorting, as well, of course, as developing fine motor skills.My little grandson was quite happy at 18 months to simply identify all the pairs and then have help putting them together. It wasn’t long, however, before he was able to do that himself, as the pieces and the interlocks are a good size for small hands.He lost interest for a while once he’d mastered the puzzles, but now a year older enjoys instructing his little brother (16 months). Despite very heavy use, the pieces, which are made of good thick cardboard are still as good as new.Thanks for reading my review. I hope you found it helpful.

Perfect first puzzles for my 18 month old, they encourage him to say the words of the objects and he can match the pieces together. Unfortunately the cardboard box cannot withstand his keenness to open it himself and he has also squashed the box already! I think they are too expensive for the short amount of time he will be interested in these, and I would like to purchase more but the price puts me off. Generally love orchard toys though, the games are always popular and educational.

This little pack of puzzles is great value for money, as it’s very versatile and supports a whole range of developmental skills.I bought it for my 18 month-old grandson, who started by simply putting the pieces into the right pairs and making animal noises. As his fine motor skills improved, he was quickly able to fit them together on his own. It helped that the pieces and the interlocks are a good size and easily handled by small hands.Once he’d mastered the jungle animal puzzles, we mixed them up with the farmyard animal pack to make things a bit more challenging. The puzzles have given him hours of fun and, despite heavy use, have maintained their original condition due to the high quality of the cardboard.Thanks for reading my review.
