wooden puzzlesThe popularity of wooden puzzles has waxed and waned since they were first introduced in the 1760′s.  They still resemble the first wooden puzzles which were used to teach geography.

Children’s puzzles have moved from lessons to entertainment showing diverse subjects like animals, nursery rhymes and modern tales of super heroes and Disney.  Wooden puzzles still offer a lot of entertainment for a small price, and children of all ages can learn from putting together puzzles. Babies recognize objects by their shapes rather than their positions, so puzzles are a great developmental opportunity.
