John Lewis Geo Matching Board
This is a brilliant first wooden lift out puzzle. It has chunky pieces and handles which are easily grasped by small hands. It is around 45 cm in length. This puzzle will help your baby learn, shapes, colours and coordination.

Djeco Marmoset and her Friends Puzzle Set
A great value buy, you get six puzzles in this set from Djeco. The puzzles have either 4, 6 or 9 pieces catering for a range of ability. One of the great things about Djeco products is the variety of their art work rising from their employment of a host of artitsts.

These fish are a puzzle with a difference. Each fish has a corresponding shape at its heart, the fish can also be joined together as they bite each other’s tails.
