The duo puzzle from Smart Games is great for increasing your child’s or even YOUR observation skills. It comes with a set of wooden shapes with different colours and patterns. There is a set of 48 challenge cards with varying difficulty. For beginners, juniors or the easier challenges, the task is to put together the shapes into the frame according to the sequence on the cards provided. All the pieces MUST be used up. For an even greater challenge, flip the card over and try piecing together ALL the pieces without the help of knowing which pieces should be put into sequence first. Great also for pattern recognition. This puzzle is made from high quality wood and non-toxic paint.

I had my 4 year old try this puzzle out and he loves it! It might look easy for us adults (especially when looking at the easier challenge) but for a child, the way the pattern sits can be rather tricky! Concentration is the key.

The wooden pieces are tough and durable, definitely not made from some cheap quality product. Especially when your child turns the pieces out of the frame – they don’t do it gently.  This puzzle can be played individually or, better still challenge yourself with the “expert” level!  The Duo Wooden Puzzle is now available at our E-Shop.
