Four first puzzles from Clementoni, each cut in the shape of the animal. The lion comes apart into 2 pieces, the elephant into 3, the panda into 4 and the tiger into 5. That makes 14 pieces in all, spread over four separate puzzles, so you build four small ones rather than a single big one.
For a toddler this is often the first time two pieces fit together anywhere. The lion with his two parts works almost straight away; the tiger with five asks for a longer look. That build-up is the idea behind the My First Puzzles range: your child moves up a step at a time.
The pieces are large - one piece of the lion is half the lion - so a two-year-old can pick them up and turn them round. The drawings are kept simple: friendly faces, clear colours, few distracting details. The box states from 2 years.
A good present for a second birthday, and a box you can easily spread out together on the floor.
