When you introduce Puzzles to your toddler,  it is best to start with a simple two-piece Puzzle like this Easter Egg Puzzle. Puzzles are a powerful tool to improve the Visual Perception skills of Young kids.

This Egg Puzzle Set has seven eggs in different colours, and each egg is a combination of two parts. As these are very small and handy, this can also be a great Busy Bag idea.

Each piece of the Puzzle piece has 3 Layers – 2 layers of Felt and a layer of foam sheet. Felt and Foam together are very rigid will last long.

The main advantage is that it is easy for toddlers to grasp the piece.
