Not a Typical Block Puzzle
Cube puzzles, a classic favorite of children, has been kicked up a notch with Hape’s new Zoo Animals Block Puzzle. A typical nine-block puzzle challenges kids to re-create six familiar animals. But animals on the Hape Zoo Animals Block Puzzle are not constrained to the classic square shape. Instead the giraffe puzzle is tall and the alligator is long.

From Stacking to Discovery
At first, toddlers will simply enjoy stacking the wooden blocks. Next, help these beginners out by turning the nine blocks so that all the backgrounds are the same. Soon they will discover that if they arrange the colored pieces correctly, they will make an animal.

Multiple Learning Benefits
Zoo Animals Block Puzzle introduces logic, matching, spatial relationships, critical thinking, and a beginning understanding of cause and effect. It also promotes dexterity and hand/eye coordination, and is the perfect transition to more complex puzzles. Set includes nine wooden blocks with vibrant non-toxic paint.
