Children’s wooden puzzles come in all shapes and sizes but if you have a toddler or preschooler a chunky 3d wooden puzzle is an appropriate gift for both boys and girls.  Our wood puzzles for kids are painted with non-toxic paints and manufactured by ImagiPLAY. 

These animal and tree puzzles are made from rubberwood, a hard, splinter-proof wood that is safe for all children.  Our selections include such animal families as an elephant family, moose and calf and wolf family. 

If your child likes cats or dogs they will be delighted to receive a dog family or cat family wood puzzle.  I’m a cat lover and am partial to the cat puzzle but the dog family is equally adorable.  Because I think both are so unique I have included an image of each one on this blog post.

Remember to shop early as these puzzles are very popular Christmas gifts!  These chunky puzzles stand up by themselves and are easy for your young children to grasp each piece. Keep them on a shelf or dresser; they make a beautiful display and your children will often take them down and play quietly with them.

This 1” chunky brown bear and cub is a great 3d wooden puzzle for kids 3 up.  Did you notice that the cub is a separate piece; so you get two toys in one!

Did you know brown bears come in different sizes and shades?  A bear can be light cream color and all shades up through an almost black color.  It was thought that 86 different kinds of grizzly bears and brown bears existed in North America.  Today, scientists agree that there is only one species of brown bear with a lot of variations!  Bears in northwestern North America are called Kodiak, or Alaskan brown bears.

There are several brown bear subspecies found in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and possibly Northwest Africa, but they are all smaller than their North American relatives.  Read more about the brown bear at San Diego Zoo’s website where I found the above information.  Go here: http://www.sandiegozoo.org/animalbytes/t-brown_bear.html.

These toys sell out quickly so remember to shop early for your children’s wooden toys!

It is believed that this popular wooden children’s toy, the rocking horse, made its first appearance in the 17^th century.  The rocking horse was used to help children begin to learn to ride a horse.

The Middle Ages is when others believe that the concept of the rocking horse began.  Did you know that Knights that were in training would often construct horses to practice jousting?

It is said that Queen Victoria was the woman responsible for making the rocking horse famous when she gave this toddler toy to her children. At first, only the wealthy could afford these state-of-the-art toys. They were hand crafted in small numbers until the industrial age hit and mass production made the rocking horse available to the public.

You can introduce your toddlers to the rocking horse by providing them a ColorMeUp Rocking Horse puzzle/craft kit.  This is a splinter-proof 3d wooden puzzle that doubles as a craft kit.  When you get your child this puzzle it comes with a pallet of paint and a paint brush.

See our entire collection of 3d puzzles to paint at All I Can Imagine.  Selections include the rocking horse, an cute hoot owl, pretty lion, butterfly, two bunnies and a wonderful wood train.

Parents and educators will enjoy giving our large alphabet 3d wooden puzzle to their toddlers. This is a unique toddler toy manufactured by ImagiPLAY.

Kids love dinosaurs and having dinosaur toys in their collection of wood puzzles will open up teaching opportunities about this fascinating creature. This toy measures 13” x 5” and has twenty-six pieces, one for each letter of the alphabet. 

Made from splinter-proof wood and painted with non-toxic paints this is a safe toy for your children.

Did you know that scientists believe this powerful predator could eat up to 500 pounds (230 kilograms) of meat in one bite. Fossils of T. rex prey, including Triceratops and Edmontosaurus, suggest T. rex crushed and broke bones as it ate, and broken bones have been found in its dung.

Tyrannosaurus rex, according to what I have read, lived in forested river valleys in North America during the late Cretaceous period. It became extinct about 65 million years ago in the Cretaceous-Tertiary mass extinction.

More than 90 percent of all organisms that have ever lived on Earth are extinct. As new species evolve to fit ever changing ecological niches, older species fade away. But the rate of extinction is far from constant. At least a handful of times in the last 500 million years, 50 to more than 90 percent of all species on Earth have disappeared in a geological blink of the eye.

Counting numbers and objects isn’t a simple skill for a child to learn.  Counting involves enumerating units so that they arrive at a total number units.  It also involves giving stable, consistent meaning to each conventional counting word.

Insight into a preschoolers’ logical thinking has been a topic of research. Children’s cognitive tasks your child will encounter in his play involve counting and adding simple sums.

When counting several objects sitting on the floor a child may skip one of the objects; this is normal. The teacher or parent can help by touching the items as the child is counting to make sure he includes every object.

Sometimes a child will fail to match their numerical recitation to the objects they are counting such as when playing board games. They will begin moving their playing piece down the board at a different rate then they are counting.

Another common mistake a child will make when learning to count is using his words in a non-standard order such as “one, two, three, six, eight, ten”.  When they use one non-standard sequence one time and a completely different one the next time, they are not really counting.

To help child learn that numbers are in a certain order and adding a sum of objects must be counted in the correct order, wooden puzzles for kids are useful for teaching this skill.  Number puzzles that must be assembled in numeric order will show them how to acquire this skill.

For  instance, look at this 3d wooden puzzle.  It is a number puzzle that can only be assembled in order of 1-10. Each bunny has its own number and can be played with as a separate toy. But to assemble the puzzle it must be done in numeric order.

Educational toys such as wooden puzzles will help impress on a child that numbers have an order that must be followed in order to count correctly and can help them learn to include each and every piece.

Most 2 year olds start to count a group of objects and will miss some of the objects right away. By four years of age most children will be able to count about five objects accurately before they begin making errors.  Twenty objects will be counted correctly by the age of 5 only if the objects are not in disarray.

Therefore it is important to have several puzzles of varying difficulty levels as they are learning to recognize their numbers and counting objects.  Until a child grasps the idea that 1 is included in 2, 2 included in 3 and so on they will not be likely to be careful about counting each separate object only one time.

The bunny counting puzzle shown above measures 14″ x 4″ – large size that kids can easily handle. It is one inch thick and stands up by itself.  Give this toy to a child 3 years and up. See our other counting and alphabet puzzles on our website by clicking on the link in this article.

Children will use and develop fine motor skills and have fun with this Binocular craft and game. Explore nature and find exciting things in the park, zoo or your back yard.

Spending time in nature is a wonderful idea to help your kids develop their senses. Here is a craft idea you may like to try. I found this at: http://www.twigglemagazine.com/March-activities/binoculars-craft.html

Materials

• 2 toilet paper rolls
• Craft paper
• Crayons, markers, stickers
• Glue
• Scissors
• Yarn
• Directions:
• Cut a 2½ inch wide strip from craft paper lengthwise. Let children decorate the strip with crayons and stickers. Punch one hole at the end of each paper roll. Let children paint strip around the other end of the paper roll and let dry. Add glue to the middle of the paper rolls. Place strip colored side face down on the table. Place paper rolls one inch apart on the strip (see pic 1). Let dry. When dry, add glue to the strip (see pic 2) and wrap around the paper rolls. Place a book on the top to hold in place while drying. Thread a length of yarn through the holes to make a necklace for children to wear the binoculars.

 Tell children that they will be using their binoculars to look at specific objects inside the room or outside in nature. Encourage children to describe in detail what they see. Note: Instruct children not to walk while looking through the binoculars.

When it is time to come in and have quiet play-time offer your children one of our wooden kids toys featuring animals of the Rainforest, Sea or Dinosaurs.  Unique puzzle playsets are wonderful toddler learning toys for ages 3 up.

 Your kids will love the animal figures from the puzzles; each individual puzzle piece is an animal toy and will stand up by themselves.  Your children can play with the animal figures or fit them together as a puzzle while they sit at a table or on the floor.

 These are great educational children’s toys to open up exciting learning opportunities and can be a useful prop during their lessons.

There are many animals on the endangered species list and humpback whales, marine turtles and panda bears are just three on this list.  The Chinese word for Panda is “Xiongmao” or Giant Cat Bear.

There is much discussion as to whether panda bears are bears, raccoons or their very own species.  Panda’s share some of the same features of bears and some of the raccoon.

Up until now, zoologists have been largely unsuccessful in breeding panda bears in captivity and there are very few of these cute, adorable bears left in the wild. The Chinese government has taken steps to protect these endangered animals.

The Panda Bears habitat, extremely limited diet and poor reproductive and infant survival combine to threaten their survival. This is why breeding in captivity is so important.

Pandas are only found in a relatively small area in Asia. They date back two to three million years ago. Ancient Chinese history and writings abound with mention of the Panda. They were kept by emperors and their hides were highly valued. They carried a mystique and were believed to be able to ward off evil spirits and natural disasters.

There are many interesting websites available that contain information and facts to help teach your children about Panda Bears and other endangered species.  Also, having a panda bear toy will help make your lessons more memorable.

 On our website you can see four different 3d wooden puzzles of animals that are on the endangered species list.  Our natural wood puzzles are animal-inspired and are 1-1/2” thick.  They are puzzles to paint and include a water color paint kit.

These fun toys are for ages three up and include a water color paint kit and paint brush.  You may order polar bears, marine turtles, humpback whales and, of course, panda bears.

Years ago ADHD was mysterious.  It was not openly spoken about and there was less information available as compared to nowadays.

Today, parents, as well as doctors and educators are faced with a growing number of children who have been labeled as having ADHD.  This is frightening and you as a parent may easily become overwhelmed as what to do or how to make sure your child may have ADHA.

Autism is a word that covers delays.  You may also notice unusual developmental patterns in your child’s development.  The delay could be in communication/language, social interaction and/or behavior. The delays could very well be across many areas in your child’s development.

You will begin to notice these delays by the age of three but can be detected as early as 18 months.  One simple thing you can do is to watch your child as he plays with toys that are meant to increase his motor skills and see how, and if you believe his skills are actually improving.  

Beware; also of how well your child can put together small objects, complete puzzles, do craft work and use a scissors (just to name a few activities).  Normal development in children is essential and children must learn to accurately and effectively use their smaller muscles in their hands.  These intrinsic muscles will be used to complete many essential functions for the rest of their lives.

See our “three chicks” 3d wooden puzzle.  This is an easy wood puzzle for young children and also makes a great educational wooden toy.

As long as I can remember I have had dogs and cats for pets while I was growing up.  As an adult I have always had two or three cats living with me.

For families with infants and/or toddlers bringing the right kind of pet into you home is a decision that takes some thought and investigation.  Thinking of safety for your children as well as the pet is of utmost importance.

Puppies and kittens may not always be the best mix for your infant or toddler as they are learning how to interact with others just as your children are. In addition, young pups and kittens have baby teeth and razor sharp claws and can accidentally cause harm to an infant or toddler.  

A better choice might be a puppy or kitten older than 4 months. Still, you will always want to supervise small children when they are with their pet. There is no way to predict how a dog or cat will react to an infant or toddler who is pulling yanking out the dog’s hair or pulling the cat’s tail.

Children will always need guidance to learn how to pet the family dog or cat and play nice. Your family pet may be the best playmate for your child, but supervision is required to ensure there is no rough playing, which can cause harm if the playing gets out of hand.

Children may try to jump on the dog’s back or grab the cat by the tail. Actions like these require a quick “No” and an explanation as to why that behavior is unaccedptable. Try focusing your child’s attention on an activity that is calmer, such as playing fetch or teaching tricks.

Whether or not you decide a dog or cat is the right pet for your family a kitten 3d wooden puzzle will delight you children.  Our bright red cat has five kittens, each a separate toy that your children will have fun playing with.  There is also a dog family puzzle  if you prefer dogs.
